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

[Cecylia Bocovich]

Hi everyone,

This is my status report for contract work in April 2022.

1. Onboarding itchyonion onto sponsor 28 deliverables:

   * RACE v2.1.0 was released in early April. We did a few pair 
programming sessions to walk through the update and release project for 
our Snowflake plugin deliverable for this sponsor. 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/team/-/issues/56

   * Discussed Snowflake patches necessary for integration with the RACE 
API in preparation for an update to the snowflake libraries used in the 
Snowflake plugin.

   * Was available to answer general questions about s28 workflow and 
scrimmage events.

2. Conjure pluggable transport for Tor

   * Continued work on getting a conjure station up and running in a 
development environment. This task has been complex and time consuming 
due to a lack of documented non-proprietary development workflows. I've 
experimented with virtual machine networks, but some of these 
experiments were dead ends due to the need for specific NIC drivers. 
Work on this continues...

Thanks!
Cecylia
