Tor in Google Summer of Code 2016
by Damian Johnson 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Interested in coding on Tor and getting paid for it by Google? If you are a student, we have good news for you: we have been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2016! https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6655685232164864/ Here's the facts: GSoC gives you the opportunity to work on your own Tor-related coding project with one of the Tor developers as your mentor. Your mentor will help you when you're stuck and guide you in becoming part of the Tor community. Google pays you 5,500 USD for the three months of your project, so that you can focus on coding and don't have to worry about how to pay your bills. https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#Projects Did we catch your attention? These are your next steps: Go look at the Google Summer of Code FAQ [1] to make sure you are eligible to participate. Have a look at our ideas list [2] to see if one of those projects matches your interests. If there is no project on that list that you'd want to work on, read the documentation on our website [3] and make up your own! Come to #tor-dev on OFTC [4] or let us know about your project idea here. Communication is essential to success in the summer of code, and we're unlikely to accept students we haven't heard from before reading their application. So really, speak up on this list or come to our IRC channel and talk to us! Finally, write down your project idea using our template [5] and submit your application to Google before March 25th [6]. We are looking forward to discussing your project idea with you!

Set up Tor private network
by SMTP Test 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi all, I try to set up a Tor private network. I found two tutorials online ( http://liufengyun.chaos-lab.com/prog/2015/01/09/private-tor-network.html and https://ritter.vg/blog-run_your_own_tor_network.html) but seems that they both are outdated. Could anyone please give me a tutorial or some hints on building a private Tor network? Another question is: what is the minimum number of required directory authorities for a private Tor network? I am wondering if one directory authority is enough. Thanks
