<p>I’m Sarthik Gupta (irc: sarthikg), a recent grad from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh & currently working as a Software Engineer at Soroco. This summer, I’ll be working on GSoC Project: “Tor Weather: Improving the Tor Network” with my mentors GeKo & Silvia. I’m extremely excited to be a part of Tor and am interested in working on this project!</p>
<p>Briefing about the project: As of now, if any relay disappears from the tor-network, no one will know. This causes the network to lose out on bandwidth from nodes which have been down for hours because no-one knew they were down. Tor-Weather aims at solving this by creating a notification service which relay operators can subscribe to in order to get various types of updates for their relays.</p>
<p>The tor-weather service will offer a plethora of notifications options for the relays. These include, the node being down, running on EOL/Outdated version, losing a flag, ranking in top 20/50/100, etc. These notifications can be subscribed & customised by the relay operators to fit their needs using a web-frontend.</p>
<p>A detailed proposal for this project is available at: <a href="https://gitlab.torproject.org/sarthikg/tor-weather/-/wikis/Proposal" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://gitlab.torproject.org/sarthikg/tor-weather/-/wikis/Proposal" target="_blank">https://gitlab.torproject.org/sarthikg/tor-weather/-/wikis/Proposal</a>. I plan to keep this wiki updated with the progress & design decisions taken throughout the development of the project.</p>
<p>Suggestions are always welcomed! Please reach out to us in irc (#tor-dev) for any ideas, questions, or suggestions you might have.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p><p>Sarthik Gupta</p></div></div>
