There are a few big changes happening at the Open Privacy Research Society ( @openprivacy )
After six years of serving as Executive Director - I made the recommendation to the board to dissolve the position to better allocate our limited funds.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone supports the work we do. I hope with this, and other changes, we can continue for years to come.
(I will continue to work with the organization in the capacity of President of the board of directors.)
I've been incredibly fortunate to be able to work day-to-day on some of the most important projects of my career.
Whether it's building @cwtch to provide metadata resistant messaging, discovering critical vulnerabilities in e-voting and health infrastructure, or quick-deploying secure systems for emergency mutual aid distribution during the start of the pandemic - this job has been an immense privilege.
I still plan on being highly active within the org; volunteering as much time as I can.
As it stands we have enough unrestricted funds to keep the servers running and, the code hosted indefinitely.
We also will continue our other projects that are funded through restricted grants and contracts.
@cwtch development albeit at a slightly slower pace, driven by volunteering and ad-hoc feature contracts as funding allows.
If you think the work that we do is important - and would like more of it, please consider a one time or recurring donation: https://openprivacy.ca/donate/
