It seems like we got a bit too carried away and did not write a status
report for 2 months.

So here is the report for January and following this mail will be the
progress report for February.

# What we did in January

## What we said we would do:

* Create the ooni-probe operator mailing list and subscribe all relevant
people to it.

* Improve the consent disclaimer for ooni-probe
Work was started on this, but is not yet finished as we are waiting to
also have a professional legal opinion:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/ooni-dev/2015-January/000208.html

* Work on visualizations for the tests
Some progress has been done on this. Mainly the existing code was moved
to TheTorProject github account here:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-app

* Automate the report publishing and synchronization tasks
The changes needed in ooni-sysadmin were implemented, but we did not
complete in January the ooni-pipeline stuff (see new report for details
on that).

* Setup monitoring of ooni infrastructure:
No progress on this was made
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12549

* Add support for obfs4
Progress on this has been made, but it is not yet merged into master
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13597

## What else we did

* Migrate the pipeline and bouncer to a new machine since we had run out
of disk space.

* Restructure directories where ooni software writes/reads from needed
for releasing the new debian package:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/14086

* Various bugfixes and improvements to fix issues with the debian package:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/commits/master
