Hi
> 
Rafael,

Welcome to the list!

Sorry that the wiki isn't updated -- that's my fault! I can give you a
brief update on the projects here, and maybe some others on this list
can help:

- - Tor Relay Campaign in Latin America

ilv is working on this directly, so I'll let him give an update. But
in addition to this campaign, a number of people have been holding Tor
meetups for users and relay operators in LATAM, so that's another way
that relay operation has been encouraged in the region.

- - Global South Tor trainer support

This project is a little less active now. We had a small amount of
funding for supporting Tor outreach work in LATAM, and we gave it out
to different trainers on an as-need basis. That's still happening
somewhat, but it expanded into us looking for a funder to make this an
even bigger effort. Ideally we'd like to be able to support many Tor
trainings/meetups and fund the associated costs like travel and
resources.

Other things that are happening:
- - hiring a community liaison to do some of the outreach work listed abov
e
- - holding the first Tor Meeting in LATAM (Mexico City Sept-Oct 2018)
- - usability/outreach work in LATAM and East Africa
- - making more connections with Tor people in the Global South and
bringing them to the Tor Meeting

Anyone else want to chime in with what I'm missing?

Alison
