Highlights from August:
The Big Brother Awards in the Netherlands invited me to speak at their
yearly awards ceremony:

I was invited to participate in a Crypto Party at the Berlin
Abgeordnetenhaus. I held many hours of workshops on Tor and various
pieces of software that work together to protect user's anonymity:

I did code review and general hackery for various projects - mostly
TorBirdy.
I was also on Democracy Now! to discuss surveillance issues:

I hacked on the Tor Router quite a bit.
This is unrelated to Tor but if I didn't mention the following two
events. I feel that I would be remiss in something important that
happened in August. I accepted an award on behalf of Edward Snowden in
Germany from Transparency International (Germany):

Also on a personal note, I had a small debate on the BBC with a lady who
is apparently Someone Important in the UK but utterly and hilariously
uninformed:

All the best,
