In November there's also "cybermonday", where people can purchase cheap online services 14:48:08 <ggus> if you have ideas how to incentivize or encourage others to run bridges, please add to this ticket 14:48:22 <ggus> we will probably need a designer to do some banners for us 14:49:32 <ggus> as we only have only 10 minutes, i will jump into the next topic: welcome outreachies! 14:49:38 <Buchi[m]> ggus: Uhm..website banner? 14:49:50 <ggus> Buchi[m]: no, a banner for the blog 14:50:01 <ggus> because on the website we will have the year end campaign happening 14:50:30 <championquizzer> yeah, and social media too I believe? 14:50:38 <ggus> https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/donate-static/-/issues/47 14:50:42 <hackerncoder> :) 14:50:45 <ggus> championquizzer: and social media! 14:51:33 <Buchi[m]> If properly guided I can deliver on that. 14:51:33 <Buchi[m]> A design brief maybe? 14:51:39 <ggus> outreachies: do you have questions about the project? how are you doing with the tasks? 14:51:50 <miko> can i contribute to the bridge incentivization campaign? I have a few ideas... I can contribute banners and graphics too :D 14:52:10 <miko> for the outreachy task i have a question 14:53:16 <miko> when data "hops" between relays (are they called hops) - is it faster/better for the network in some way if the relays are geographically close? 14:53:16 <ggus> Buchi[m]: miko: i will add more info about the campaign on the ticket. then feel free to create a gitlab account and comment there. :) 14:53:54 <ggus> miko: it will be faster, yes 14:54:02 <skoech[m]> I'd like to contribute to the bridge incentivization campaign as well. 14:54:33 <miko> thanks! for both the answers. that's all from me for now 14:54:59 <Buchi[m]> ggus: Okay. alright. 14:55:26 <skoech[m]> And I have a quick question: what exactly does operator/relay diversity entail, and how do you ensure it. 14:55:35 <skoech[m]> ?* 14:56:41 <ggus> there are many aspects of it: operating system, ISP, country... 14:57:37 <skoech[m]> Ah, okay.
