Fwd: [tor-project] New meetbot plan: #tor-meeting and nowhere else
by Alison Macrina 28 Sep '17

FYI everyone, we'll be having our meetings in #tor-meeting from now on, per Roger's email below. We'll make sure to announce the meeting in #tor-project right before in order to be welcoming to random bystanders. Let me know if you have any questions. Alison -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [tor-project] New meetbot plan: #tor-meeting and nowhere else Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 15:28:52 -0400 From: Roger Dingledine <arma(a)mit.edu> Reply-To: tor-project(a)lists.torproject.org To: tor-project(a)lists.torproject.org Background on meetbot: it is the irc bot that we use to help coordinate our various Tor team irc meetings, and record results for posterity and transparency. See e.g. http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-dev/2017/ http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-project/2017/ So far we've had an ad hoc schedule and location for irc meetings, spread around both #tor-project and #tor-dev. After an incident with our meetbot where we accidentally left it logging #tor-dev all weekend, we've decided to take a more defensive approach: we will hold the meetbot-mediated sessions in a new channel, called #tor-meeting. So, if you want to use meetbot -- and feel free to do so -- you should move your meeting to #tor-meeting. It might be wise to tell the folks at the previous location that you're doing it elsewhere, so people can join and watch / participate if they want. One downside could be that the meetings won't have as many random bystanders watching them, so maybe fewer people will get pulled in. But we can resolve that, maybe even more successfully, with better report-backs. I think the upside of making it clearer whether there is something logging, and publishing the logs to the internet, is worth trying this new approach. --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-project mailing list tor-project(a)lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-project

Journalists Training

Hi everyone, As I have been discussing recently, we are conducting a Tor talk/digital security workshop for journalists in India in association with the Software Freedom Law Center in New Delhi. The SFLC shared the list of things they would like to be covered so I am sharing with the community to get your feedback. (This version is modified from their original version with my changes.) Duration 2 Hours 30 Minutes Introduction to Threats * Surveillance * Malware * Censorship Operational Security * Passwords, Password Managers * Operating Systems * Full-disk Encryption * Browser Add-ons Tor * Tor Browser * SecureDrop (sukhe: My idea is that we can get some news organizations in India to set up SecureDrop. I am not the right person to help them with this but at least I can get the conversation going.) * Tor on Mobile Secure Chat * Signal Email Security * PGP This is the first time I will be part of such a workshop, so please share any resources or tips you may have! -- Sukhbir
