*** OTF’s Information Controls Fellowship Program (ICFP) is Now
Accepting Applications for its Sixth Fellowship Cohort ***

The ICFP fellowship program supports individuals working to examine
restrictions on the free flow of information by repressive governments.
In particular, ICFP fellows track Internet interference practices and
investigate emerging means of overcoming censorship in repressive
environments - the countries, regions, or areas worldwide where Internet
freedom is most threatened. Efforts that focus on investigating the
security and privacy of tools used in these contexts are also supported.

*** Onion Browser Needs Help on its Translation and Review ***

The next Onion Browser release is on the horizon and they need all of
your help to finish the translation and review for *at least* the 21
previously released languages, so that they can ensure all current users
have continued use before February 16th.
