Hi Alessandro,

Welcome to the Tor community!

>From a glance, I see you've already been active on the tor-dev mailing
list. [1][2][3][4][5] Cool :)

I see komlo recommended [6] and that you added [7] a reference to your
project on the wiki page [8]. Also cool!

The maaaaaany email lists Tor has can be overwhelming, so I wanted to
point you to yet another email list: tor-relays [9]. This is one of the
main ways the relay-operators Tor "subcommunity" stays in touch.

There's also the #tor-relays channel on IRC - another major
communication medium for relay operators.

Info about Tor's various IRC channels can be seen on the Contact page.
[10]

Finally, I'm cc'ing Phoul (Colin Childs) on this email. (He's a member
on the community team, so would probably see this thread, but a cc
can't hurt!)

Phoul is Tor's Relay Advocate - whose very role it is to foster and
support the relay-operator community! He wrote an intro on the Tor blog
last year that you may want to check out. [11]

I'm not on IRC much presently, but I'd suggest you try to reach out to
him either there, on the tor-relays email list, or privately via email
if you prefer.

Back when I was more active, there were even IRC meetings for relay
operators - those may still be going on. I'm sure Phoul could chime in
there :).

Also feel free also to contribute to this email list
(tor-community-team), but note that this team is focused on the Tor
community at large - not just the relay-operators "subcommunity" - so
conversations on this list are typically broader in nature.

Thanks, and once again: welcome!
Dave
