[roadmap process] follow up with other teams
by isabela 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi Community team! This Friday Nov 17 is the when the 'chatting' time ends and we start with execution. This is just symbolic, of course you will not stop talking with other people! But hopefully by this Friday you and the teams who wrote questions related to the Community team roadmap, has either addressed them and all is good, or made a plan on how to stay in touch as you work on stuff. I am sending a similar note to all teams. I also would like to call your attention to Services and UX Team roadmaps that were added to the pad: https://storm.torproject.org/shared/m-IG6BIam2M9tF6rLDKFpBtIaUoTABiXLN17N97… If you have questions for them, there is an section for them at the questions pad: https://storm.torproject.org/shared/6_vKbNygWaF8WcG6xz3lTW6RWbJzlBdm8ZezRYW… Finally, below are the questions other teams wrote to Community team, please take a look at them and follow up with whatever is necessary: Questions/Comments for Community team roadmap: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1biph8qhxvUc_VetcaJjkS9H3kKC95yPB9Z1… [Tor Browser] Do we have a developer feedback item planned like making Tor Browser devs aware of the most frequently encountered issues? It seems the answer is "no". But if we could think about a way to establish a process for that (we tried after Amsterdam) and work on it in the next 6 months that would be great I think. [Alison: yes we should do this. I'll follow up with your team and the network team on creating a schedule for this.] [Network] Same question as for Tor Browser team: can we get summary feedback from Frontdesk? [Alison: see my answer above] [Network] We should figure out how to send more people to events in South America; Nick has promised Isa he'll go to _something_ next year. [Alison: agree -- one of our roadmap items is mapping out conferences for various Tor speakers] [OONI] Are there active plans to collaborate on GS community outreach with OONI (apart from partnerships)? [Alison: we can make plans -- we should start with identifying points for collaboration. the circumvention stuff on our roadmap seems like one obvious place.]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I'm intending to publish a term paper. I'm in the midst of outlining its remit, but I hope that the outcome benefits the organization and users from the standpoint of computer forensic science. I specialize in digital forensic science, and hold a Certificate of Higher Education in Digital Forensics, and a CERT Digital Forensics Professional Certificate from Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute. Its been half a decade since the organization published a term paper assessing the Web browser from the standpoint of computer forensic science, and I feel that undertaking it again might be beneficial. I intend to refer to it as a basis for the term paper I'm authoring, as there are aspects of it I feel I can embellish. I feel it might be best if I focus upon a single platform because I'll be able to conduct more in-depth research. I'm also able to access a lot of resources that I hope might enrich the term paper. I thought it might be useful and beneficial to coordinate the independent research I'm undertaking and I'd be grateful for cooperation and topics for discussion. - -- Scott Ainslie <scott(a)scottainslie.me.uk> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJaC1NSAAoJEM18vpeSzTzCHowQAIbEubNq2+jejdO0+7+FDmWM 3BRru25qHSwGbjYOIGv0tTCpyFR8Yk6kZUfTDt+LUdZ8WlDw+ZPafSi0pImUzuSc 6zEjYY1E3vaR0a/Gf5y4d9+lnpQbnf3U4iTL2mQF2AkJ3ZhYkHDbm0G3Ttjmyb7K 88tT97z2WC/0COtknB0pARC4nj6Gjd1pdRCH3A6/aljPwk7api5hPE6IrHxAfErh 08ekWOk65ZD4j55Zz9BxBLpUU9U2XK70IySbR8C7LOTtUnSiarTYyouz3Cm3iX27 PNmYOpxz082N/duaqR1Wp0Ac+re37tHjrEvAhWOVlNw2by1G2EeBeYGz+JDbsImb mg9jZl5vq6iciunZ05HNHYGBcWp/tNLmXULMMxeuvdprXf4nKjLZyrr2UH04sjpm dzQ1Ryc9B8QVEyAfmCRMv33rjZAeGOzbKjR6DHMSFkEa6kgTM0iINYkeUIVtCGvD IhApYm3yZ3TqXFRpFUs8zzYVtfWD3r0nDYoUevzMbW3AV3VZNdPY/mrfubO9y5rk w4LcoH4xAhwpYRozivL0TKh9jFK6CGhijYoT7eFjGsHBo7bptI/rgod4HCaL0eAG 0gB7CMKPkIJp1z1U7NOISr6qbur4qlKndSv6/M66WrNjKd2o/VfFNzLUDmNsJ81e ulLh+FmUiuO9LQeSxkG3 =oKLF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Next week's meeting
by Alison Macrina 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Hi all, just a heads up that I will be traveling on Wednesday November 15th, so I will miss our regular meeting. Phoul has graciously stepped in to run the meeting, so he'll send a reminder out sometime early next week. Also, while I have you all here: Phoul and I are working on a blog post to encourage more people to run relays by organizing a lot of the how-to information in one place, and filling in some of the details on best practices and things like that. We're trying to make this as comprehensive as possible, which means it would really benefit from additional people adding to the text. Please contact me if you are interested in helping out with this. Alison -- Alison Macrina Community Team Lead The Tor Project

Tor talk/workshop at CJFE Toronto
by Sukhbir Singh 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

Hi, On Sunday (29 Oct) I am giving a Tor talk at the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) workshop on digital self defence in Toronto, Canada. http://www.cjfe.org/workshop https://blog.torproject.org/events/sukhbir-cjfes-digital-self-defence-2017 I will be talking about secure web browsing, Tor, and Tor Browser to an audience of journalists and human rights activists. The duration will be three hours and here is the description of the talk: The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Microsoft Windows, Apple MacOS, or GNU/Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained (portable). In this workshop, we will discuss secure web browsing and how to maintain your anonymity online using Tor and Tor Browser. This will be an interactive workshop and we will walk through these tools so please feel free to bring your devices (laptop and/or smart phone). The slides for the talk: feedback is welcome, and let me know if you want me to change anything. Be critical, please! https://people.torproject.org/~sukhbir/talks/toronto-cjfe-draft1.pdf (There is one section remaining on the slides, and that will be on onion services.) Other than the talk and the general discussion on anonymity, I am going to be giving a Tor Browser demo. I have planned to show what kind of information can be gathered without using Tor, and then later show how Tor Browser prevents that. For this, I have planned to show website logs (my own) and browser fingerprinting, with and without Tor Browser. Any other suggestions on how to make the talk more interactive? Or any other topics I should talk about? Thanks! -- Sukhbir

Meeting time
by Alison Macrina 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

Hi all, I want to propose changing our meeting time to make it more accessible to people across timezones. Right now, we meet every other Wednesday at 18:00 UTC. I'd like to keep the meetings to every other Wednesdays, but perhaps there is a more convenient time than 18:00 UTC. Please reply only to me and tell me what times on Wednesdays in UTC you're available for the meeting. For example, I'm available from 13:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC. -- Alison Macrina Community Team Lead The Tor Project
