Blockpage Detection
by Ben Jones 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Hello, I am a PhD student at Georgia Tech and I am collaborating with researchers at Stony Brook University to find an effective means of detecting block pages. We have access to a very robust set of both real pages and blocked pages (~2.4 million pages) which we are using to evaluate block page detection metrics. We already have two measures to detect block pages and would like to evaluate your DOM similarity measure alongside our own metrics. Since we are planning on publishing our results, may we include your DOM similarity measure in our evaluation? Also, I would like to look more into this similarity measure, is there a paper that I can read? Thanks, Ben Jones

Future weekly meeting schedule
by Tom Lowenthal 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

Howdy, y'all! In a great departure from my tradition of using Doodle for everything, I'm going to try to find the best time for future Ooni weekly meetings by simply **asking** y'all when you can make it. Crazy, eh? Here's the conundrum for you: what recurring timeslots do you have available on the regular? If you could either answer in Pacific time, or tell me your time offset from Pacific, that'd be lovely. It'd probably be easier on everyone's inboxes if you replied off-list (but on thread). I'll announce the best time at Monday's meeting, which will be at 0900h Pacific. Any other questions? -Tom

Summary of OONI weekly meeting 2013-11-05 9:00 AM PST, 18:00 CET

This weeks call was very dense of content as it was a while that we had not done one with all the team present. Here goes an attempt to summarize briefly what was discussed. We did a summary of the work so far done on the OONI side and the possibility of a collaboration between least authority. They will be assisting us starting in February to do release engineering. They will start doing their audit of the OONI codebase starting in December. This means that the OONI team will continue working on testing, bugfixing until mid December and continue tagging new releases as we go onward. We will also in light of the schedule changes review the current milestones and adjust them in favor of the work that will be done by least authority. The next call will happen on Monday 2013-11-12 at 9:00 A.M. PST 18:00 CET. I invite all the participants to integrate what I may have missed out in this summary. Thank you all for being present in the call, ~ Art.

Since it's been some time that we have not had the weekly meeting for the OONI project it is time to fill in that void and meet up next week. We are going to be discussing the possibility of a collaboration between us and the least authority team to assist us in release engineering. The proposed agenda is as follows: 17:55 - Meet on IRC (#ooni) to get the link or wait for the follow up email to this thread 18:00 - Meet and greetz 18:05 - Discuss what is the current status of the project, what has been done. 18:20 - Discuss what we need to do for the current milestone, what tasks are still pending 18:35 - Discuss with the least authority team this collaboration. 19:00 - Wrap it all up and say bye until next week (: ~ Art.

OONI weekly meeting call 18:00 CET

For starters I excuse myself for the absence in the last couple weeks, but I was not feeling very well. I am now back in Italy where at least the sun shines. Can we organize to meetup in a call to discuss the current project status and identify the next steps? I created a doodle to facilitate agreeing on a date and medium (I set it to 18:00 CET since that seemed to be working well in the past). Could you please cast your vote on this doodle here if you are going to be present in the call: https://doodle.com/uprtfyf7ncaeuptrfbacr3r5 I think it is crucial that in this call are present: * Aaron * Somebody from m-lab google * Somebody from least authority I would say since it has been a bit of time that we have not synched back up that we get don't have a strict agenda, but try and figure it out along the way. ~ Art.
