As part of our donation campaign we already explained you [[why we need donations|news/why_we_need_donations]], [[what we do with your money|news/what_we_do_with_your_money]], and that [[Mediapart is the first news organization to commit to support Tails every year|news/mediapart]].
This is our first donation campaign and we are completely blown away by the results! It feels really good to see that our community of users understands the real value of Tailsand why it is important for them to help us back and keep the project alive and independent.
Starting from today we will be present at the [33rd Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Main_Page).You are encouraged to pass by and meet us at the [Secure Desktops assembly](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2016/wiki/Assembly:Secure_Desktops).
