[global-south] next steps from Tor Meeting

[Alison]

Hi everyone,

I want to bump my earlier message to this list, since the list is so
brand new and maybe not many people were subscribed earlier in the week.
tl;dr, I want to start brainstorming and planning for the first Tor
Meeting in the Global South.

> Here are a few of the action items we discussed during our two Global
> South sessions at the Amsterdam Tor Meeting:
> 
> *Get a Tor Project board member from the Global South: find some names
> of possible candidates and then send to Linus and Biella (board members)
> * Create local Tor meetups and have Tor Project provide resources
> (money, people, other materials)
> * Hold the Tor Meeting in the Global South
> * Support local conferences, eg Cryptorave
> * More Tor infrastructure in the Global South (relays, DirAuths,
> BWAuths, etc)
> 
> These were the items that seemed to come up most frequently in our
> discussion and seem like good starting points for this communication
> channel. There are more action items and more discussion points here [1].

> One thing I'd like to prioritize personally is holding the Tor Meeting

> the metrics we'd need to consider in identifying good places. Those
> metrics include:
> - overall cost
> - visa requirements
> - length of travel from the EU and the US/Canada (though we will
> consider this, we discussed how people in the Global South have had to
> deal with long travel times to the EU for all past meetings, so if we
> find a good place that is a great distance from the EU, so be it)
> - internet speeds
> - possible conference center locations
> - Tor's relationship to the local community (the relationship as it
> exists, and opportunities to build it more)
> 
> Any other data points that we should consider? Anyone want to throw out
> some initial ideas for host cities? Some of the cities already discussed
> a bit include Quito, Mexico City, São Paulo, and Lima. There was some
> rough consensus that South America is the best first place for a meeting
> in the South, but it would be great to hear from people who disagree on
> that.
