I'm wondering if it is time to consider having another virtual get together?</div><div><br></div><div>Since then the developers have iterated the board design, integrated a lot of software updates showing a 10x RSA signing improvement and published a release (<a href="https://cryptech.is/2020/09/cryptech-releases-version-4-0/">https://cryptech.is/2020/09/cryptech-releases-version-4-0/</a>).<br></div><div><br></div><div>As far as fundraising goes, the last big influx we received was in 2019 with the NGItrust grant. Recently we have received a 6k USD grant from ARIN and a 10k euro donation from Surfnet.<br></div><div><br></div><div>It seems like it would be beneficial to have a meeting of minds to talk about where from here. We would need folks to commit a few hours, someone to volunteer some zoom resources. I've set up a new Etherpad where we could put up some agenda thoughts: <a href="https://tid.isoc.org/pad/p/cryptech-restart-discussion-2020">https://tid.isoc.org/pad/p/cryptech-restart-discussion-2020</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Would aiming for something the first week in December seem about right timing wise?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br></div><div>Phil<br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
