[tor-reports] Colin's August 2014

[Colin C.]

Hi everyone,

Done this month:
- Resolved 174 tickets on RT.
- Rejected 26 spam tickets on RT.
- Wrote deployment documentation for pups[1].
- Met with OTF Transifex hub coordinators to discuss Tor Project
translations.
- Met with Kelley and Karsten regarding Sponsor O.
- Worked with Kelley on Sponsor O curriculum content development.
- Started recruiting volunteers interested in assisting with curriculum
development.
- Started writing beamer templates for Sponsor O slides.
- Deployed 2 additional private bridges running fte/obfs3.
- Worked on Nagios tests for Pups, more on this next month.
- Investigated running a grsec-enabled kernel on Tails (little progress
made).
- Investigated running Tor Browser on FreeBSD (little progress made).

Notes on RT:
- iOS users continuing to look for an official Tor solution.
- ChromeOS users continuing to look for an official Tor solution.
- Increase in users requiring fte/obfs3 bridges on port 80/443. We need
more people running these[2][3].
- The new Meek bundle seems to work for many users who may have
previously required private bridges.
- Users continue to ask about chaining Tor together with a VPN.
- Many users asking about using plugins in the Tor Browser.
