Dear relay operators,

Interhack, a network of french-speaking hackerspaces organises a gathering from 2 to 5 July, in Sévérac (Loire Atlantique) in France

https://2026.camp.interhacker.space/

Tor-related discussions typically occur at Interhack/hackerspaces events. Following the call for more distributed relay operator meetups, we are thinking of taking the opportunity of this event to propose one there. That would be a rather small meeting, considering the limited size of the event itself and the quite remote location. Also we are very small scale relay operators (currently we operate one relay and a bunch of bridges).

Nontheless, we would be very happy to meet other relay operators and push more tor discussions in our hackerspaces.

What do you think of this? Is there a more official way of announcing a relay operator meetup than sending email on this list? Are there guidelines for how such meetings should/could be conducted?

Interhack sounds like a great opportunity for a Tor relay operator meetup! :) We have a short how-to meetup here: https://community.torproject.org/outreach/meetup/ At the moment, there isn't a strict process required to host a relay operator meetup, and announcing it on the tor-relays mailing list is a good start! If you need anything from the Tor Project -- for example, help promoting it on our social media channels or other materials -- feel free to contact me (gus at torproject.org) in private. If you end up organizing a Tor-focused session during Interhack, it would be great to hear how it goes. Thanks for organizing this meetup! Gus -- The Tor Project Community Team Lead
