Hello Tor World,
Here's an update from the Community Team for November!
November 2017 Community Team report
Meeting notes November 2017 ================================================================== https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/CommunityTeam#Curren...
Funding community team projects ================================================================== Tommy is conducting the initial research on funding for two of the community team's main work areas: Global South outreach (growing, strengthening, and supporting Tor in the region) and Tor relay operator support.
Support portal ================================================================== The communications team is working with us to finalize the text for the support portal, while the UX team continues to work on design. We continued writing more content for the portal, including explanations for common log errors.
Our Outreachy intern, Parinishtha, is also working on organizing user feedback to better assist with support. She's monitoring things like blog comments, IRC, and questions submitted to frontdesk@ and then cataloging user issues to share with developers and people working on the support portal. Next month, Pari will send the first update to tor-project@lists.torproject.org.
Relay operators guide ================================================================== Last month, we were planning to write a blog post with the steps to running a relay simplified. After a lot of work on the post in November, we realized it would be better to merge it into #24497, and turn the content into information on an organized wiki: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/OperatorsTips.
It's still majorly a work in progress. We need to add to some of the sections, and then simplify the document so it's not just a confusing text block. We'll be working on that in December. And we still plan to write a blog post about it!
Tor talks ================================================================== In November, Alison spoke about Tor at the Freedom of Research Conference in Paris.
We also submitted proposals for Tor talks at LibrePlanet and RightsCon.
Library Freedom Institute ================================================================== Alison worked on finalizing the website, contacting potential guest lecturers, and getting outreach information organized for next month's launch.
Translation/Localization ================================================================== Phoul put the downloads page up on Transifex and then ran into some issues with webml that needed to be troubleshooted. He also worked on a script to allow us to push translations up to Transifex faster.
Community documents ================================================================== We decided to put the code of conduct proposal period on hold until after the Mozilla All-Hands meeting in December; Mozilla has an amazing Diversity and Inclusion team and we want to talk to them about codes of conduct and incident response policies.
