Thank you to the +BSides Team for setting such a great conference! + +Aside from a few talks, we mostly worked on several goals that we had set for +the day during the afternoon in the common area at John Jay College. + +Our most pressing task was writing the high-level roadmap for 2018, following +the discussions at 34C3. This has `now been posted`_ - go check it out! We also +picked up some communication threads that were put aside over the holiday period +around our nascent Vulnerability Response Process, and getting it into +"production use". + +.. _`now been posted`: {{ url_for('blog_post', slug='2018/02/11/high-level-roadmap') }} + +The biggest and most tedious task was working on the information architecture +for the new I2P website. We have a new logo and front page which was designed +for us by the team at `Ura Design`_, but have been blocked on figuring out how +to organise content navigation to create a more user-friendly onboarding +experience. We finished an initial draft of this, and are now working with Ura +to finalize it, before beginning work on the remaining design work. + +.. _`Ura Design`: https://ura.design + +Finally, we discussed ideas for engagement and outreach this year. We agreed it +would be a good idea to create specific donation tiers, with our existing +stickers at the lower level, and other rewards for larger donations. Potential +reward ideas include: + +- More sticker variants (e.g. tesselating sticker) +- T-shirts printed with our new logo +- Other kinds of merch (hoodies, scarves) +- Extension idea: Raspberry Pis in custom 3D-printed cases, pre-loaded with I2P! + This would require ironing out things like: + + - Having sufficient randomness at boot for generating key material. + - Ensuring the hardware can handle sufficient network traffic to be a useful + network participant (older Pis had restricted network interface speeds). + - Actually making them! + +This meetup was a trial run for an idea that we discussed at 34C3: having more +informal I2P-focused meetups throughout the year. And it worked out well! If you +are interested in helping to organise a future meetup, please get in touch with +us. This year I2P developers and community members are attending FOSDEM, HOPE, +Citizen Lab, and BSidesTO, and likely other events - so we will need lots of new +stickers!
