<br>
The OONI team made steady progress in May 2017.<br>
<br>
We released the beta version of our probe orchestration and, in<br>
collaboration<br>
with Sinar Project, we published a new research report on "The State of<br>
Internet Censorship in Indonesia". We also updated test lists in<br>
collaboration<br>
with our partners, and we started organizing OONI's upcoming Partner<br>
Gathering.<br>
<br>
## Beta release of probe orchestration<br>
<br>
We made two beta releases of the probe orchestration backend:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/TheTorProject/proteus/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta.2" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>TheTorProject/proteus/<wbr>releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta.2</a>.<br>
<br>
The probe orchestration client code is being integrated inside of v0.7.0 of<br>
measurement-kit here:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/measurement-kit/measurement-kit/pull/1250" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>measurement-kit/measurement-<wbr>kit/pull/1250</a>.<br>
<br>
This beta version of the backend is currently deployed<br>
(<a href="https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-sysadmin/pull/112" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>TheTorProject/ooni-sysadmin/<wbr>pull/112</a>) on staging<br>
machines<br>
and we are in the process of testing it in preparation of including a<br>
subset of<br>
orchestration inside of the next version of ooniprobe-mobile.<br>
<br>
The feature-set included in the current beta of the probe orchestration<br>
is the<br>
following:<br>
<br>
* Support for clients to register for receiving orchestration messages<br>
with a password<br>
<br>
* Authentication for orchestration clients and administrators<br>
<br>
* Support for updating metadata of probes via authentication<br>
<br>
* Support for sending push notifications to iOS (Apple Push<br>
Notifications) and Android (Firebase Cloud Messagging) devices<br>
<br>
* A web interface for administrators that allows them to:<br>
    - View the currently registered clients<br>
  - View the currently scheduled jobs<br>
  - Add new recurrent measurements based on the target probe<br>
<br>
In the first integration in ooniprobe-mobile we plan to only support probe<br>
registration and metadata update. This will allow us to send visibile push<br>
notification to send useful information messages to users, but without<br>
the full<br>
orchestration workflow.<br>
<br>
## Research and improvements to reducing fingerprintability of ooniprobe<br>
<br>
We did a bit of research documenting what we are currently doing to<br>
reduce the<br>
fingerprintability of ooniprobe and what we could do better.<br>
<br>
As a result of this research we also added support for randomising the<br>
order in<br>
which URLs are tested (in ooniprobe desktop) to further reduce the<br>
fingerprint<br>
an ooniprobe scan has as well as improve the accuracy of measurement:<br>

<br>
## Publication of research report<br>
<br>
In collaboration with Sinar Project, we published a new research report<br>
titled:<br>
"The State of Internet Censorship in Indonesia".<br>
<br>
The full report can be found here:<br>

<br>
We also published a summary of the report on the Tor blog:<br>
<a href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/state-internet-censorship-indonesia" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blog.torproject.org/<wbr>blog/state-internet-<wbr>censorship-indonesia</a><br>
<br>
## Updated test lists<br>

collaboration<br>
with partners:<br>
