OONI Monthly Report: March 2019
by Maria Xynou 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hello, The OONI team made steady progress in March 2019. ## OONI Explorer Over the last year, we have been working on revamping OONI Explorer entirely. This has involved re-writing all of the OONI Explorer codebase in react.js (using next.js), re-designing the platform entirely to improve its UX, creating a more powerful search tool (which required a series of improvements to the OONI data processing pipeline), and adding a number of new features (based on community requests). During March 2019, we: * Worked on the new country profile pages * Worked on the the landing page and highlights page * Created the initial design of the mobile version for all major pages We expect to launch the revamped OONI Explorer in May 2019. ## System for sharing OONI metadb with third parties We have been working on setting up a system for sharing OONI's metadata database with third parties. This will allow external people to setup their own instance of the OONI measurement database that powers OONI API and OONI Explorer. The progress of our work on this can be tracked via the following ticket: https://github.com/ooni/sysadmin/issues/272 ## ndt7 OONI's Simone has been working on an improved performance test called ndt7, which is meant to replace the NDT test currently available in the OONI Probe mobile app. This development activity started during his OTF fellowship at Measurement Lab and he has continued to work on it since. During March 2019, he worked on the Golang server and on the Golang and JavaScript clients. By the end of the month, the code quality and readiness was near a first alpha version. See https://github.com/m-lab/ndt-server and https://github.com/m-lab/ndt7-client-golang/pull/3. ## OONI pipeline We worked on improving the testing and documentation of the OONI pipeline: * https://github.com/ooni/pipeline/pull/145 * https://github.com/ooni/pipeline/pull/144 * https://github.com/ooni/pipeline/pull/147 * https://github.com/ooni/pipeline/pull/149 ## OONI Probe mobile apps We worked on adding support for uploading non-uploaded measurements in OONI Probe Android and iOS: * https://github.com/ooni/probe-ios/pull/258 * https://github.com/ooni/probe-android/pull/214 We finalized the implementation of unit tests for OONI Probe Android and iOS: * https://github.com/ooni/probe-ios/pull/246 * https://github.com/ooni/probe-android/pull/195 We released OONI Probe 2.0.6 iOS with an OONI Run fix: https://github.com/ooni/probe-ios/pull/261 ## Backend Engineer interviews We interviewed a number of backend engineers who applied for the OONI job opening (https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/) We are now finalizing the interview rounds and hope to hire an engineer by mid-May 2019. ## Community activities ### Vietnam Cyber Dialogue (VCD) OONI's Maria & Arturo participated at the Vietnam Cyber Dialogue (VCD) in Valencia, Spain, on 31st March 2019. As part of their participation, they facilitated a session on censorship measurement. Information about the event is available here: https://internetfreedomfestival.org/vietnam-cyber-dialogue/ ### Localization Lab Summit OONI's Elio participated at the Localization Lab Summit in Valencia, Spain, on 31st March 2019. As part of his participation at the Summit, he met with translators and facilitated sessions about how UX and localization can play better together in order to have better internalization support. Information about the event is available here: https://www.localizationlab.org/blog/2019/2/22/join-the-localization-lab-su… ### Community meeting On 26th March 2019, we hosted an OONI community meeting on our Slack channel (https://slack.openobservatory.org/) As part of the meeting, we shared updates on OONI sessions facilitated at the Internet Freedom Festival (IFF) and information about the OONI job opening for a backend engineer position (https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/) ## Userbase In March 2019, OONI Probe was run 700,880 times from 5,115 different vantage points in 211 countries around the world. This information can also be found through our stats: https://api.ooni.io/stats ~ The OONI team. -- Maria Xynou Research & Partnerships Director Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) https://ooni.torproject.org/ PGP Key Fingerprint: 2DC8 AFB6 CA11 B552 1081 FBDE 2131 B3BE 70CA 417E

March Fundraising Report
by Sarah Stevenson 18 Apr '19

18 Apr '19

Hello from the Fundraising Team! Below you will find our March report. ## Cryptocurrency As mentioned last month, we launched our new cryptocurrency page[1]. This took a lot of work to understand and set up wallets and a mechanism to exchange coins to USD. We also had to create a workflow for acknowledging and recording donations in our CRM. So far, we have raised close to $18,000 by connecting with cryptocurrency enthusiasts on Twitter and have a few prospects for major gifts in the coming months. We also received some blog mentions[2][3][4][5][6] that have helped drive donations. We have received many suggestions for revisions and additions that we will tackle soon. ## Welcome email We created a welcome email[7] that gets sent to people who have just joined our email list. The intention is to set the tone for our relationship with the person, teach them a bit about what we do, and talk about how we are a nonprofit that depends on contributions from individuals. The communication about being a nonprofit organization came from the research done by The Berkeley Group who found most people they surveyed were unaware of that status. This message has gone out to over 22,500 new subscribers so far and has been well-received. ## Grants Al and the grants team wrote and submitted proposals to the following funders for the following projects: Indela Fund for LFI, craigslist Charitable Foundation for general operating funds, and the British Embassy of San Jose for digital security trainings in Costa Rica. We also submitted a letter of intent to the Charles Koch Foundation and two SOIs to DRL - one for OONI and another for UX/Community work. We also had a meeting with our program officer from the Media Democracy Fund. ## Administrative We worked with Isa and Sue to create fundraising projections for the remainder of this fiscal year and the next. This will allow us to better track our progress and create project budgets. Sarah attended the Data Privacy Summit in DC, hosted by Access Now, which was primarily about policy, but we have a few new contacts for potential collaboration. - Fundraising Team [1] https://donate.torproject.org/cryptocurrency <https://donate.torproject.org/cryptocurrency> [2] https://www.coindesk.com/tor-project-takes-cryptos-after-donors-request-new… <https://www.coindesk.com/tor-project-takes-cryptos-after-donors-request-new…> [3] https://dashnews.org/tor-accepts-dash-donations-advancing-privacy-initiativ… <https://dashnews.org/tor-accepts-dash-donations-advancing-privacy-initiativ…> [4] https://lumenthropy.com/tor-project/ <https://lumenthropy.com/tor-project/> [5] https://cointelegraph.com/news/tor-digital-privacy-project-accepts-donation… <https://cointelegraph.com/news/tor-digital-privacy-project-accepts-donation…> [6] https://z.cash/blog/zcash-empowers-charitable-giving/ <https://z.cash/blog/zcash-empowers-charitable-giving/> [7] https://crm.torproject.org/civicrm/mailing/view?id=165 <https://crm.torproject.org/civicrm/mailing/view?id=165>

Send gaba a msg if you want to attend. Can people add themselves as owner of the ticket when they start working on it? for example, is somebody working on #29223 (nickm?) [done -nickm], #29210 (nickm?) ? [shared between nickm and catalyst -nickm] thanks teor says: I can't do bug triage on 29 April, because I'll be away. Rotation updates (from nickm): Bug triage Started with 4 no-component items, some 3 months old. Started with 55 no-milestone "core tor/tor" items, some 3-7 months old. Many but not all from Brussels. Some but not many marked 04x-proposed. Had over 100 new incoming emails with bugtracker events to look at. Tried to assign tags as appropriate; worried that I missed some. Worried that if I missed some, there's no way to see what the backlog is for assigning tags. I don't know how to assign milestones to SBWS tickets. Current Status: 0 no-component, 0 no-milestone. CI Mysterious i386/xenial failures -- not sure how to procede. (If it's still happening.) Resolved #29922, delegated #29645. Told weasel about a disk-exhaustion condition on jenkins; he resolved it. Current status: travis and appveyor are passing. Current Tor jenkins failures are tor-ci-linux-0.3.5-extra-arm (stretch, armhf) -- Java exception, seems like a Jenkins issue. tor-ci-freebsd-amd64-0.2.9/ -- longstanding failure, two unit tests failing. (test_bt and fgets_eagain) Coverity Started the week with 44 pending coverity issues. Opened 30146 to work on the most important-looking. Some children in needs_review. Will work on more once the current children of 30146 are solved. Current status: 42 pending coverity issues; 30146 should solve many, I hope. == Recommended links == "The way you address the problem is by shipping changes not more slowly, but more QUICKLY. Fewer, smaller changesets turn into debuggable, understandable deploys."

Notes from April 11 2019 Vegas team meeting
by Karsten Loesing 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Notes for Apr 11 2019 meeting: Roger: 0) I had a good meeting with phw last week, to get him going on the new anti-censorship team. 1) Need some Apple contacts? For making webkit adhere to Tor Browser guidelines, or for helping get rid of the fake Tor Browsers on the app store? [I think we do, at least if we have them we should give to guardian project and mike tigas -isabela] 2) I keep encountering threat intelligence CTOs who admit that their company's marketing team is misleading people about "the dark web" and how it relates to Tor. It seems to me that we should be able to align the incentives from the marketing teams better: all it takes would be one of them realizing that they can differentiate themselves by pointing out that "all the *other* ones are misleading you". Next possible steps include doing a joint blog post with one company that wants to, and/or doing a talk to an NYC-based threat intelligence company. 3) May 1 is the deadline for mainline Defcon talks. I am pondering submitting one -- a retrospective of some sort maybe. A brainstorming session seems smart. Gaba: 1) follow up on sponsor 13 reporting. 2) worked over a summary from ideas for funding for grants strategy meeting. 3) looked at capacity for network team for the year. 4) follow up on tor-scalability (will open mailing list today) 5) started weekly syncs with phw Georg: 1) Work on Tor Browser 8.5 2) Helping OTF with proposal review and recommendations 3) Dealing with HackerOne bug bounties and additional HackerOne help with out bug bounty program Nick: 1) team continues to be somewhat strained for resources, but great work is still getting done. 2) I'll be off from next wednesday through the following monday (17th through 22nd), though I could be available for meetings if really needed and we schedule in advance. Pili: 1) Sponsor 27 organisation 2) Google Season of Docs - started filling out application form - working on fleshing out projects - blog post - recruiting mentors 3) New Website Launch Retrospective 4) Working on funding ideas for teams Alison: 1) Refining LFI curriculum 2) Making the public announcement about the new cohort soon 3) Still redesigning the website 4) Writing a piece on facial recognition for ALA Choose Privacy Week 5) Gus is traveling; we will go to Mexico together in May Steph: 1) Helped with irl’s and juga’s blog posts 2) Responded to inquiry about CIPA 3) Will be presenting at a cryptocurrency gathering (post Ethereal Summit) doubling as a Tor fundraiser in NYC may 15. Gman will join me. 4) def con prep 5) Talking with a librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library about possibly running a workshop or talk isabela: 1) I have been sick this week so I am behind on some things. 2) Catch up to do list, emails and meetings. 3) Plan on start inviting people on 'waiting list' of dev meeting invite list. 4) Plan to meet w/ Alison to kick off the process to organize the schedule for the dev meeting. 5) Work on Sida phase3 plan and review proposal for general ops fund Sarah: 1) More admin to finish up state registrations. 2) Sending out new welcome email to new email list subscribers. We are now up to 45,424 people on the main email list. 3) Al submitted proposals for general operating funds from the CS Fund and funds for ESR migration from Open Source Center. 4) Researching Handshake details 5) Postal letter to lapsed major donors and small foundations went out last week. Sue: 1) General Accounting processes Erin: 1) General HR stuff Karsten: 1) Decide how to proceed with TorDNSEL replacement: a) our hope to upgrade the Haskell code from 7.6 to 8.0 did not work out; b) the rewrite is at least a few weeks away if we want it to work properly; c) the metrics team might take ownership of the oldstable VM from the admins, but running machines is not what we're good at; d) we could let it die and put up the replacement once we have it, even though that will make at lot of people sad; e) we get an extension for the shutdown as long as we make progress (Brexit style); f) do a quick-and-dirty thing (maybe exitmap + stem + some duct tape, possibly leaving out the DNS server at the beginning) that keeps working until we have the proper rewrite in place. Antonela: 1) Coordinating user research in Colombia with Nah and Gus 2) Reviewing Caroline's report for Q1 user research 3) Preparing outreach material in Spanish to print for Colombia 4) website tickets triage, working on /download 5) S27 meeting, starting with O2A1 6) Following up with IFF people 7) Working on TB8.5 release 8) Working on OONI Explorer ux issues with Arturo 9) Reviewing community.torproject.org 10) Reviewed research.torproject.org with irl Mike: 1) Trying to organize next tor-scalability meeting 2) network team development 3) @steph: vanguards should be in the next debian/stable and debian backports; I would like to do a blogpost and tweet when that happens. Not sure if it will happen this week or next yet. [great, lmk when you've got a draft -steph]

Started reading code and re-assigning tickets to me. - Inquired about status of ICLab and if the project could help us scan our bridges. - Wrote a small script that helped us analyze the throughput of a download over time. - Figured out who runs our default bridges and contacted operators of broken bridges. + See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorBrowser/DefaultBridges + Filed #30121 to improve how we manage list of default bridges. + Some progress in #30006, which is about monitoring our default bridges. - Started working on a fix for #26154. Breaks many unit tests -- more thinking required. Next week: Help with: - #28655 review (If a bridge supports obfs4, don't give out its other flavors) - Need to talk to sysrqb and/or dgoulet to learn more about BridgeDB deployment. Gaba: This week (04/11): ahf (gonna be missing at the meeting, but will read backlog): Last week (2019/4/4): - Meeting with gaba, cohosh, & phw Monday - Went over roadmap items in new roadmap docs. - Lots of tiny network team tasks. - Continued work on #t/#29206.

I'm happy to do the leg work with designing and running the study, though you're probably in the best position to handle (2) at the moment. It's probably worth our time at this point to design it carefully. Also, do we want to have actual people doing probes instead of just our VPS probe site? catalyst: week of 4/4 (planned): - focus on sponsor31 stuff (like control.c refactor) that might be blocking nickm; please let me know if i should reprioritize - work on #29276 (bridgedb release) if there's time week of 4/4 (actual): - mostly sponsor31 stuff like control.c refactor week of 4/11 (planned): - more sponsor31 work; maybe also #29976 as prep work for more bootstrap reporting improvements

march 2019 report for the sysadmin team
by Antoine Beaupré 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Hello, Here are the minute from our last meeting, which we have just decided might double as a report for the larger project as well. I hope that's still useful! Agenda: * What has everyone been up to * What we're up to in April * Other discussions * Next meeting What has everyone been up to ============================ anarcat ------- 1. lots of onboarding work, mostly complete 2. learned a lot of stuff 3. prometheus research and deployment as munin replacement, mostly complete 4. started work on puppet code cleanup for public release lots more smaller things: 5. deployed caching on vineale to fix load issues 6. silenced lots of cron job and nagios warnings, uninstalled logwatch 7. puppet run monitoring, batch job configurations with cumin 8. moly drive replacement help 9. attended infracon 2019 meeting in barcelona (see report on ML) hiro ---- 1. website redesign and deploy 2. gettor refactoring and test 3. on vacation for about 1 week 4. IFF last week 5. many small maintenance things ln5 --- 1. nextcloud evaulation setup [wrapping up the setup] 2. gitlab vm [complete] 3. trying to move "put donated hw in use" forward [stalled] 4. onboarding [mostly done i think] weasel ------ 1. brulloi decommissionning [continued] 2. worked on getting encrypted VMs at hetzner 3. first buster install for Mandos, made a buster dist on db.tpo, cleaned up the makefile 4. ... which required rotating our CAs 5. security updates 6. everyday fixes What we're up to in April ========================= anarcat ------- 1. finishing the munin replacement with grafana, need to write some dashboards and deploy some exporters (trac #30028). not doing Nagios replacement in short term. 2. puppet code refactoring for public release (trac #29387) 3. hardware / cost inventory (trac #29816) hiro ---- 1. community.tpo launch 2. followup on tpo launch 3. replace gettor with the refactored version 4. usual small things: blog/git... ln5 --- 1. nextcloud evaluation on Riseup server 2. whatever people need help with? weasel ------ 1. buster upgrades 2. re-encrypt hetzner VMs 3. finish brulloi decommissionning, canceled for april 25th 4. mandos monitoring 5. move spreadsheets from Google to Nextcloud Other discussion topics ======================= Nextcloud status ---------------- We are using Riseup's Nextcloud as a test instance for replacing Google internally. Someone raised the question fo backups and availability: it was recognized that it's possible Riseup might be less reliable than Google, but that wasn't seen as a big limitation. The biggest concern is whether we can meaningfully backup the stuff that is hosted there, especially with regards to how we could migrate that data away in our own instance eventually. For now we'll treat this as being equivalent to Google in that we're tangled into the service and it will be hard to migrate away but the problem is limited in scope because we are testing the service only with some parts of the team for now. Weasel will migrate our Google spreadsheets to the Nextcloud for now and we'll think more about where to go next. Gitlab status ------------- Migration has been on and off, sometimes blocked on TPA giving access (sudo, LDAP) although most of those seem to be resolved. Expecting service team to issue tickets if new blockers come up. Not migrating TPA there yet, concerns about fancy reports missing from new site. Prometheus third-party monitoring --------------------------------- Two tickets about monitoring external resources with Prometheus (#29863 and #30006). Objections raised to monitoring third party stuff with the core instance so it was suggested to setup a separate instance for monitoring infrastructure outside of TPO. Concerns also expressed about extra noise on Trac about that instance, no good solution for Trac generated noise yet, there are hopes that GitLab might eventually solve that because it's easier to create Gitlab projects than Trac components. Next meeting ============ May 6, 2019, 1400UTC Meeting concluded within the planned hour. Notes for next meeting: 1. first item on agenda should be the roll call 2. think more about the possible discussion topics to bring up (prometheus one could have been planned in advance)
