- (YH) ddj workshop proposal - I’m late. What about the equivalent of a #cryptoparty with partners (ethak.org, Reporters Sans Frontières for Romandie) and/or a SoD adaptation of the work prepared for the ORD? Partnering w/ H/H ZU + LSN for reach out? The idea is to prepare DDJ CH for the upcoming Elections Hackdays -- let’s talk about it when Mehdi is back from vacations and the H/H Lsn group had a chance to meet.
