[Coffee-organizers] Welcome Chile Team

[Chioma Agwuegbo]

Welcome, Carlos!

I'm Chioma, from Nigeria, hosting Coffee and Circumvention in Abuja (the
capital of the country).

I don't know if I should be excited at the various demonstrations going on
around the world, but I'm definitely rooting for citizens standing up to
repressive and thieving governments and demanding better.

If you may, please share topics you've come up with! We've done
Introduction to Cyber Security for our first meet up, Social Media
Etiquette for our second, and Stop The Trolls for November, but we're a
little stumped on what to do next!

Very best,

Chioma.
