[tor-talk] Looking for some Tor love at HotPETS15

[A. Johnson]

Dear Tor people,

The HotPETS workshop [0] has been a place for researchers, developers, and thinkers in privacy-enhancing technologies to share and discuss their latest ideas and results. Tor has always been a major part of this discussion, from the introduction of Tor’s bandwidth scanner [1] in 2008, to the unveiling of Tor’s move to a single guard in 2014 [2], and including much in between (for example, [3-6]).

HotPETS would like to continue to be a place for the Tor community to share their latest improvements and challenges. This year we are asking for only a *2-page talk proposal*. The submission deadline is *April 24th*. Details about submitting are in the Call for Talks [0]. Hopefully, this will make it even easier for more of the Tor community to participate, especially people who don’t write research papers for a living :-)

I hope to see many of you at HotPETS in Philadelphia on July 2nd!

Best,
Aaron
co-chair, HotPETS 2015
