Hello.
I made a torbirdy presentation video. It's a very very very basic video, I would call it a slideshow more than a video. But I hope someone will enjoy watching it. And also, even if it seems annoying to watch it, it still explains a lot of stuff about how to use email client with Tor for anonymity.
Keep in mind I don't use any of the emails that appear on the video.

Good job!

What did you use to change your voice? What software did you use to make this?

I want to do things like this.

And as for the software I used Open Shot. It's so far the best video editor I have found under GNU/Linux. It is very simple for newbies, and still has a lot of features for advanced users.
I cut the pictures using screenshots and GIMP.
The voice was synthesized online (see my post below).
I will now upload the HQ version to Tor Project.

Isn't he using a voice synthesizer? I think is the same that orca uses.

Hello.

Thanks for commenting, was starting to think that nobody cared about Torbirdy :P
I am not particularly proud of that video, it's just a slideshow and the voice is not the best, but I felt it was important to have a video that explained things in a simple way for everybody. The Tor Project actually liked it and they will post it in the Torbirdy wiki =D
I wish someone will make a better one anyway, and replace mine. Maybe a nice looking "flash presentation", similar to the one FSF did for their 30 years of GNU Manifesto.

As for the voice, it is a synthesized voice, I didn't want to record my own voice. You can actually read the entire thing here in the forum: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/text-speech
I asked for people's help to get a proper voice.

As for Torbirdy, if someone wants help I will provide any help I can :)

One question if someone knows: if I run Debian in a ARM platform, and install Thunderbird/Icedove/whatever_name, can I install the same plugins? THe XPI files are unware of being run in a x86 platform or an ARM platform, correct?

The addons are written in Javascript, so they should work fine.

Thank you for the information!
Now if only the Tor Browser Bundle had an ARM release... Wishful thinking.
I hope at least the ARM repos of Debian have the latest Tor release, I can use that running as service.

you could probably compile it on arm yourself

I wish to avoid that. EVEN because you can only compile the Browser (they explain that in their page, it's quite easy to compile the firefox modified version, but not so much tor all itself), but like I said, if the Tor in the repos is up to date, I will take a brave step and try building my own browser (which is a PITA, as I will have to make it all every time a new version comes out).
Like I said, wish to avoid that, but I will do so if I need to.
