Discussion

- GNUnet and Onion Routing
Take ideas from I2P
-> There is a language barrier
Tox people have idea for NATed peers

- cjdns 
Are there any links to cjdns?
gnunet's focus is not only on routing but on security with adversaries

-Taler and P2P
Is Taler a P2P system ...
No, taler is not a p2p system since it uses a mint and is not running
over gnunet
but it will be possible to integrate it with gnunet later

- Meeting or Hackfest
is there place for a meeting?
Joe: just come over to brazil
Docmalloc: hackfest in munich? we just need a room for an evening or a
day!?
tg: come to Amsterdam
    
- What is the audience for a release?
People are interested in using it for filesharing, conversation, social
networking for organized resistance, news
grothoff: we can discuss about a release politics if there are different
views

- Transition from SVN to GIT?
GC: git tends to fraction projects and prevents about people from
knowing what is going on, performance and scalability important
bart: big changes are easier without breaking the system
nurner: transparency is important and hiding information is a bad idea
viric, although not being a committer, suggests using fossil-scm. He
would  prefers even cvs over svn
