[tor-dev] Damian's Status Report - April 2015

[Damian Johnson]

Hi all! My April was split between SoP prep and Nyx. Changes for the later
unfortunately aren't yet ready so this is gonna be a shorter status report
than usual.

Tor Summer of Privacy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a thing! Of our twenty-two applicants sadly we only had funding for four,
but all have great projects and we look forward to working with them this
summer!

Personally I'm particularly excited since this will be the first time I've
mentored since 2012. Cristobal's working on a web dashboard for relay
operators - think nyx, but ajax...

Few other noteworthy things were...

* Built on David's hidden service descriptor work by adding a
  get_hidden_service_descriptor() method to Stem. Next up is
  support for Yawning's ephemeral hidden services...

* Sambuddha revised Stem's Twitter example to support Twitter's
  v2 API. (#9003)

* Stem test for installation via our setup.py. (#15258)

Cheers! -Damian
