Five things I did in March 2013: 1) Released Tor 0.2.4.11-alpha: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2013-March/027563.html
2) Attended the "tech@state" conference in DC, where various groups that the US State Dept is funding got together to talk. I was on a panel about circumvention technology. Every time I go to DC there are literally scores of people that it would be useful for me to spend more time with; now I know why so many people end up moving there. 3) Briefed SponsorF on know what we've been up to in the past few months. http://freehaven.net/~arma/slides-mar13.pdf 4) Started to explain Tor's ecosystem to Tom (our new project coordinator). Mainly I started walking him through who's on the people page, and also explained all the hats I wear and we discussed which are smartest to try to give away. 5) Reviewed PETS papers. Several of them are Tor-related and are getting in. I'm shepherding two. More news once the 'accepted papers' list comes out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five smaller-but-still-useful things I did too: 6) Attended the dev meeting in Boston with everybody else. I am particularly excited about the possibility of finally getting nightly builds going. 7) Did a guest lecture about Tor and circumvention for the CS security class at Drexel University. 8) Did a guest lecture about Tor and circumvention for UW Madison: http://freehaven.net/~arma/slides-madison13.pdf Also met with Tom Ristenpart about running a fast exit relay at Madison (they have many gbits of unused bandwidth, if only Tom can wave his dead chicken while chanting "it's for a research project"). 9) Helped move forward a plan for getting user support mails off of the tor-assistants list, and onto the [email protected] list. The current interim plan is that we'll bounce-to-help support mails that arrive to tor-assistants, and after a few weeks we'll assess how it's going. (I want to keep using the tor-assistants list for synchronization between developers when talking to external parties.) 10) Agreed to do a talk at PETools: http://petools.soic.indiana.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three of my April 2013 plans: 1) I was substantially offline from March 28 through April 7. Woo. 2) I've been bad at letting [email protected] mails pile up (since we don't have anybody whose job is to handle jobs). 3) Get my todo list back in working order. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
