Hey,
next year, rightscon seems to be in Brussels, around our sprint dates.
Do we want to propose something there? Go there?
IIRC, it's a good conference to have UX tests for example.
Deadline unfortunately already november 25th, that is in 9 days.
Cheers!

As in previous years, Access Now will be providing limited travel
support funding to a small number of civil society participants to
RightsCon Brussels. This
year, we’re accepting applications for travel support for those
individuals that
are part of the RightsCon program and require funding to attend. Please note
that we receive many applications each year, and due to the limited
nature of
funding, we are only able to support a small number of requests. For
information
on this process, please visit the application form.
