phw: This week (2019-06-27): * Sent "call for new obfs4 bridges" email to tor-relays@tp.o. * One person contacted me directly after setting up a new bridge. They thought the instructions worked very well. * Worked on #30931 so arlo, dcf, cohosh, and I can all manage our snowflake webextension * Arlo already submitted the extension to Firefox and Chrome! * Worked with more operators of broken obfs4 bridges. * Sent ten of BridgeDB's unallocated obfs4 bridges to activist for manual distribution. * Lots of work on #30441, to stop BridgeDB from handing out offline bridges. * The problem may have fixed itself? * Blacklisted 53 broken obfs4 bridges. * Added debug log messages and discovered bot that's scraping bridges. * Brainstormed obfs4 improvements over at #30716. * For now, we decided to understand the "long tail" of network traffic first (#30986) * Once we have a better understanding of the long tail, we'll continue with obfs5 * Attended RACE call in which we discussed all of this. * Filed #30946 to port BridgeDB to Python 3. * Published blog post that introduces the anti-censorship team and our Sponsor 19 report. * https://blog.torproject.org/tors-new-anti-censorship-team-defending-open-int... * Lots of help from gaba and stephw! * Had a brief look at the popularity of an active probe's cipher suite over at #30500. * Caught two probes that had a different cipher suite; one quite common, but not the other * Pushed a feature branch for our BridgeDB metrics (#9316) which is now in 'needs_review'. Next week: * More RACE work (PT spec and network trace "long tail") Help with: * Try requesting different types of bridges from bridges.torproject.org and let me know if you got 0 bridges.
