[12:33] <@jokeefe> how long would you need? [12:33] <@mildbeard> how about i2p, it's like tor but for file sharing.

I could also cut the time down. [12:34] <@jokeefe> the more tools the better, mildbeard, do you and srevilak want to do a joint talk? [12:34] <@jokeefe> 30 min, 60 min, 45 min, all seem fine [12:34] <@srevilak> Maybe divide (time allotted)/(N Presenters), once we know N?

[12:36] <@jokeefe> sounds good. how about the last half hour, or should we use it in between tech stuff? [12:37] <@srevilak> maybe between tech stuff? Give folks a breather?
