[12:30] <@SplendidSpoon> Hey [12:30] <@SplendidSpoon> Privacy-related stuff, I guess, but it really depends who we can get to speak, right? [12:30] <@jokeefe> yes [12:31] <@srevilak> and with the venue, we'll be limited to one speaker at a time [12:32] <@jokeefe> srevilak, would you do a TOR talk? [12:32] <@srevilak> jokeefe: sure. [12:33] <@jokeefe> how long would you need? [12:33] <@mildbeard> how about i2p, it's like tor but for file sharing. [12:33] == Shidash [~shidash@rkcmifbw4m-483-79-50-961.bu.edu] has joined #masspirates [12:33] == mode/#masspirates [+v Shidash] by [4Q] [12:33] == mode/#masspirates [+l 20] by [4Q] [12:34] <@srevilak> we could do hour presentations like last conference. 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? [12:34] <@jokeefe> sure [12:35] <@jokeefe> so far have: tor, i2p [12:35] <@srevilak> If appropriate, I'd like to have a discussion about risk assessment (aka - why this stuff matters) [12:36] <@srevilak> in the vein of what lewman,house did last time [12:36] <+dto> srevilak: i saw the videos of that. fascinating stuff. [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?
