Hello everyone! We didn’t send one of these emails at the end of December, due to the holiday. December was effectively a half-month, because so many people take vacation time at the end of the year (including Zcash Foundation staff).

Without any further ado, the list of announcement-worthy Zcash Foundation activities from the past two months!

The Foundation co-hosted and co-sponsored an event called Blockchain Against Evil, which you can read about here: Blockchain Against Evil Tickets, Wed, Dec 5, 2018 at 11:00 AM | Eventbrite (click “View Details” for more information about the content)

Proceeds from the event were donated to Open Privacy, a fellow nonprofit that focuses on securing people’s privacy through technology: https://twitter.com/ZcashFoundation/status/1082407682663866369

We reorganized our website and GitHub repos to make information about the Foundation and its doings more accessible: New URL, Website, and GitHub Setup - zcash foundation

We worked with Ian Miers, who is a member of our Board (among numerous other qualifications), to turn a talk about blockchain privacy theater into a long-form article: Blockchain Privacy: Equal Parts Theory and Theater - Token Daily

The article will be posted on our website as well.

The Foundation is sponsoring an upcoming zk-SNARKs meetup in Tel Aviv: Login to Meetup | Meetup

We announced the details of Zcon1 (June 22 – 24 in Split, Croatia) and asked people to start applying for invitations: Zcon1: June 22 – 24 in Split, Croatia - zcash foundation

And finally, Executive Director Josh Cincinnatti wrote “The State of the Zcash Foundation in 2019,” reviewing our performance in 2018 and setting the course for the rest of the year: The State of the Zcash Foundation in 2019 - zcash foundation

Hopefully 2019 is treating you well so far! As always, if you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to reply to this email.
