Isabela:
- meeting Laura w/ Shari this Friday. Hope to hear better news from
her. I emailed DRL requesting the follow up phone call they offered in the rejection email. I also pinged Dan to see if he is around, should be good to check in with him as well.
...
- Next week on implementers meetings at DRL till the 20th (Wed). 20th
is also the soft deadline for OTF full proposal and deadline for sponsorT report.
From my perspective in hindsight, I think neither of the SoIs emphasized
mobile enough, based on the previous excitement and interest DRL seemed to express earlier in that area.
I think writing a "Funding All Things Mobile Tor" SoI would likely be funded by DRL and/or OTF. We would need to go very big in the vision of supporting both Android and iOS as first tier platforms, including support for community projects like OnionShare and Ricochet. All of the core work on little t-tor, infrastructure, metrics, etc would be supported by this funding, but it is just that instead of starting with those things as end results or outputs, they become highly funded critical dependencies.
If Tor Project as an organization isn't prepared to propose such a thing directly, then I am happy to, either as Guardian Project or through a partner like Internews who is currently funding our work on pluggable transports and mobile browsers.
All the best, Nathan
