Hey Michael, That's awesome to hear! Great job and thanks for putting yourself out there to do these things.

I think the results are encouraging. Since January I've done 3 things to promote Freenet: Gave a brief introduction to Freenet primitives and a very very basic runthrough of pyFreenet. The class was well attended and truly I did not have to work very hard to fill it. The second thing I did was give a talk at a regional convention called Penguicon. I gave essentially the same talk with a demo(that worked! quickly!) showing what Freenet is, how it works, etc. The convention gave about 20 talks an hour and my Freenet talk was in the top 20 most popular for the entire event - at one point it was in the top 15. I attribute this not to something I did, but to the level of interest people have in decentralized anonymous communication and publication. The audience for this is laypeople but my slides are here, if anybody cares: http://presentations.penguicon.org/?download=Penguicon+2017%2FNo+Gods%2C+ No+Servers.pdf Finally, I've created a night at my local hackerspace for the specific aim of setting up darknets and getting people on FMS. I did not anticipate this being a big event, but I have 20 RSVPs so far and I know there are some people who are coming but do not wish to publicly acknowledge it. I did not even promote this event. So why am I sharing all of this? Honestly I'm surprised and encouraged at the level of interest that has remained in Freenet. There is a lot left to fight for and we should not allow high-profile imitations discourage us. That's all for now, Thanks.
