[tor-project] Communications Report: November & December 2019

[Stephanie A. Whited]

Hello Tor,

Our focus of the past 2 months has been the EOY fundraising campaign.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this a success. Sarah will be sharing
the final count soon.

We welcomed annalee_, the comms team Outreachy intern. There were
several strong Outreachy applicants. Thanks to all who applied. annalee_
is currently helping compile outreach contacts, cleaning up our press
list, and beginning to organize an effort to clean up our blog post tags
by checking for misspellings, redundancies, etc so they can become a
more reliable tool for finding and sorting content.

We worked with the fundraising team to create another page for our
material deck. We applied to the OTF Learning Lab for help with
promoting onion services and demystifying the dark web. Steph worked
with emmapeel to promote calls for translations.
