=================================================================
In August, we began continued organizing events for the Mexico City Tor
Meeting, and started holding biweekly meetings to organize the open days
with the help of local folks. These meetings helped to finalize the open
days agenda and create the promotional blog post. We worked with other
local people to plan and promote the Tormenta feminist meetup for
immediately after the Tor Meeting.

We also started planning State of the Onion plenary and sent the
invite-only agenda out to meeting attendees.

In September, we did a final check of all of our MX meeting todo and
then we headed to Mexico for the meeting!
