Hi Torix,

Thank you for your ideas, I have made note of this and will review this list 
early next week.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

good idea, Torix

Re: [tor-relays] Relay advocate introduction

Dear Colin,

Perhaps your new role would cover this - I understand from the list that the 
uneven distribution of the Tor network around the world is a concern.  My first 
thought is that I should run a relay in India, which has a robust internet, and 
speaks English.  However, I don't know whom to contact over there to set 
something up.  I was wondering if it might be worth producing a list of ISPs 
and urls in preferred geographically distributed countries.  

Maybe we have this resource already, but the closest page I've found is the 
Good/Bad ISPs page:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs
but that includes mostly countries with  high percentages of tor relays, and is 
mostly about ISP responses to exit nodes.

If I were a new person who wanted to run a relay, I would probably use the 
cloud provider I know about or have connections with already.  If I had a list 
of providers/urls in other countries, however, there would be a better chance I 
would set it up somewhere else.

Just thinking..

[tor-relays] Relay advocate introduction

[Colin Childs]

Hello tor-relays!

My name is Colin Childs, I have been the support and translation coordinator at 
the Tor Project for a number of years. I am also a founding director of a 
TorServers partner named Coldhak here in Canada.

Recently, my role within the Tor Project has changed, and I am starting as the 
new relay advocate (as well as localization coordinator, until this 
responsibility can be reassigned). My job will be improving the health / 
happiness of the relay operator community, expanding the relay operator 
community, and helping improve the community bonds between operators.

A few of the things I will be working on are:

1. Open a #tor-relays IRC channel (this is now open, everyone should join!)
2. Reach out to realy operator groups / individuals to introduce myself and 
solicit feedback (beginning today)
3. Plan a relay operators meet-up at PETS in July (details to come in another 
email)
4. Form a team of trusted technical and legal volunteers able to help operators 
around the world.
5. Organizing a larger "relay operator summit" event
6. Working with operators to resolve some of the recent issues brought up on 
this list (DNS provider, DNSSEC, EOL releases, etc..)

While reaching out to operators is point 2 in that list, if you have 
suggestions or feedback that you'd like to send, please do not hesitate to 
reach out to me! I would love to hear from all of you with the things you would 
find most helpful from me / the Tor Project. While I cannot guarantee we can 
facilitate every request, we will do our best to help!

I look forward to working with all of you in the future, and I hope you're 
having a great week!
