[tor-project] Cecylia's Monthly Status Report, March 2022

[Cecylia Bocovich]

Hi everyone,

This is my status report for March 2022.

My work falls into three main areas:

1. Progress on Conjure pluggable transport

I have begun adapting Conjure[0] to a Tor pluggable transport, using 
their Go API[1]. The work in progress client is so far mostly a stub PT 
and lives on Gitlab[2].

I have also been working on setting up a robust local testing 
environment to run the Conjure refraction networking station[3] that the 
registration with Conjure station works as expected.

2. On-boarding and knowledge transfer for sponsor 28 deliverables

Since Tor Project hired a new developer to take over the remaining 
sponsor 28 work, I've been documenting and helping transfer knowledge of 
the unique sponsor 28 requirements and evaluation environments.

3. Snowflake simulations in Shadow

Not much progress on this during the last month. I spent a very small 
amount of time helping the Shadow team test out fixes for Go simulations 
in Shadow [4].

Thanks,
Cecylia
