[tor-dev] Otter-related outreach, training & documentation meeting is at 1530h Pacific on Tuesday 2013-10-15

[Tom Lowenthal]

It'll be in #tor-dev.

If you want to be in the `to` field for future emails, announcements,
and so on (rather than just reading them on `tor-dev` or
`tor-assistants`), you should add your name, IRC nick, and email to
the [Buoyant wiki
page](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors/Otter/Buoyant).
