 ## Outreach
 
-{overview of outreach/communications/marketing activity for past month and any short-term plans}
+Much of the in-process Outreach work was pushed aside, as we focused on the release of Decred Privacy. Efforts began on August 21st, as Project Lead, Jake Yocom-Piatt published [Surveying the Privacy Landscape](https://blog.decred.org/2019/08/21/Surveying-the-Privacy-Landscape/). This work was supported via [tweet storm](https://twitter.com/decredproject/status/1164245224274767873?s=20) which generated direct engagement from Fluffy Pony, Zooko, and the Mimblewimble folks. The first details of Privacy broke when International Operations Lead, Jonathan Zeppettini, went on [Laura Shin's Unchained Podcast](https://unchainedpodcast.com/after-years-of-secret-work-decred-adds-a-new-feature-privacy/) to talk about Decred and its new feature.
+
+Twenty-four hours later, the first written news of Decred Privacy was released by The Block, in concert with the publication of Jake's article, [Iterating Privacy](https://blog.decred.org/2019/08/28/Iterating-Privacy/), which deeply explored the motivations, operational details, limitations, and next steps of Decred Privacy. This was supported with a [10-part tweet storm](https://twitter.com/decredproject/status/1166746979160023046?s=20), which garnered lots of attention and engagement. Decred's Privacy implementation has been received heavy coverage, detailed in Media, with the excpetion of Coindesk. 
+
+To continue support of the Privacy release, Anshawblack released [Privacy Flow](https://twitter.com/decredproject/status/1169011789255925762?s=20), with GhostRhidah, and also a very special [Decred in Depth episode featuring Jake Yocom-Piatt](https://twitter.com/decredproject/status/1168558002867191808?s=20) just days after the release. In this episode, Jake delves deeply into the surveillance economy, why privacy matters, and the current and future states of Decred Privacy.
+
+At the time of publication, the Ditto team continues to work on ways to keep Decred Privacy top of mind, and it seems like a timely issue with [recent news of Google wrongdoing.](https://www.ft.com/content/e3e1697e-ce57-11e9-99a4-b5ded7a7fe3f) Additionally, Dustorf will soon publish a blog entry on Medium targeting the less technical crowd.
+
+Outreach has made a concerted effort to increase engagement on twitter via quality content and education regarding Decred. This was demonstrated by project impression counts more than doubling from July to over 5.6MM.
+
+Decred has confirmed it's booth presence at [Websummit](https://websummit.com/), November 4-7, in Lisbon, Portugal, so please connect with us in the events_planning room in Matrix if you're interesting in helping out. We're also planning a roadshow in Asia, but don't have any details to share at the time of publication.
