Tor dev meeting ===============

* Many anti-censorship team members attended Tor's developer meeting. Here are the meeting notes of all censorship-related sessions: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/AntiCensorshipTeam#Tormeetingnotes

* We talked to OONI and asked if they could measure the availability of STUN servers for us. This would help with learning where snowflake is blocked: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/875

* Started working on a "censorship table" that encodes what's necessary to get Tor to work in a given country (or autonomous system). Ultimately, Tor Browser should to use this table to help its users connect to the network while minimising user interaction: https://bugs.torproject.org/28531

* Created a ticket for an easy-to-use Tor bridge meta Debian package: https://bugs.torproject.org/31153 We hope to be done with this before our "set up new bridges" outreach campaign.

Snowflake =========

* Deployed a proxy-go instance that uses the pion WebRTC library: https://bugs.torproject.org/28942 We're evaluating if pion could replace libwebrtc for us.

* Started working on the web extension "infinite loop bug" that currently affects Firefox: https://bugs.torproject.org/31100

* Google's "Safe" Browsing system blocked snowflake's infrastructure domains *.bamsoftware.com. This is a false positive that was apparently caused by an educational article: https://www.bamsoftware.com/hacks/zipbomb/ We migrated to a new domain: https://bugs.torproject.org/31250#comment:13

* Fixed https://bugs.torproject.org/27385 (https://snowflake.torproject.org/embed is confusing).

* Started adding localisation to user-facing snowflake components: https://bugs.torproject.org/30310

* Progress on easier-to-see snowflake icons in Firefox's dark mode: https://bugs.torproject.org/31170

* Revised snowflake's project page: https://snowflake.torproject.org

Bridge operators ================

* Worked with bridge operators who had troubles getting obfs4 to work.

Pluggable transports ====================

* Started fixing a number of issues in our PT 1.0 spec. Here is our canonical list of issues: https://bugs.torproject.org/29285#comment:5 Hopefully, there will be a way to merge these fixes with the PT 2.0 spec. Here's the in-progress feature branch: https://dip.torproject.org/phw/torspec/tree/feature/29285

* Added in-progress wiki page on retiring pluggable transports: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/GuidelinesForRetiringPTs

BridgeDB ========

* Deployed in-progress BridgeDB metrics feature branch which will give us insight into how BridgeDB is used: https://bugs.torproject.org/9316 Found and fixed numerous bugs and eventually published first insights into BridgeDB metrics: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2019-July/013953.html

* Resurrected an old ticket to expose BridgeDB's assignments file again. This would allow bridge operators to see what bucket their bridge is in: https://bugs.torproject.org/29480

Miscellaneous =============

* Reviewed a Tor Research Safety Board submission.

* Wrote a summary of the NDSS'17 paper "Dissecting Tor Bridges": https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/anti-censorship-team/2019-July/000023.html

* Filed ticket to have a single Tor instance support, say, more than one obfs4 instance: https://bugs.torproject.org/31228

* Summarised the MASQUE circumvention protocol: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/anti-censorship-team/2019-July/000027.html

* Cecylia attended the Citizen Lab's Summer Institute 2019 and PETS 2019.

* Philipp will attend the OTF summit in Taiwan, and probably also potential pre and post events.
