<p>At the non-profit organization level, the Tor Project
consists of several teams. The <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam";>network
team</a> works on part of the back-end: the program called tor, network
simulators, onion services, etc.; the <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/MetricsTeam";>metrics
team</a> collects and publishes Tor network metrics; the <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/ApplicationsTeam";>applications
team</a> maintains Tor Browser and other user-facing applications; the <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/UxTeam";>UX
team</a> improves user experience across all projects; the <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/CommunityTeam";>community
team</a> fosters a healthy community around Tor; <a
href="https://ooni.torproject.org";>OONI</a> maintains a global observation
network for detecting censorship, surve
illance, and traffic manipulation on the internet; the communications team
gets our message out to the world; and the <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/FundraisingTeam";>fundraising
team</a> rallies people to financially support our vision so we can keep Tor
strong for millions around the world.</p>
+
+
<p>All of our teams share a common vision: for people around
the world to enjoy privacy and freedom online. As censorship has increased
around the world and <a
href="https://blog.torproject.org/strength-numbers-internet-freedom-line";>internet
freedom has declined</a>, <a
href="https://blog.torproject.org/expect-more-tor-2019";>we realized</a> we
needed to step up our game to outpace the censors preventing people from
enjoying the human right to freedom of expression and access to information on
the internet.</p>

+
+
<p>In February, we created a brand new <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/AntiCensorshipTeam";>anti-censorship
team</a>. This team consists of two software engineers with research
backgrounds and a project manager, but there are many other people who
contribute to the team’s work—by adding valuable code, insight into
past work, infrastructure, and resources. The goal of the anti-censorship team
is to understand network censorship and build technology to circumvent it so
the Tor network can be accessible to everyone.</p>
+
+
<p>To kick things off, we've released a technical report
called "<a
href="https://research.torproject.org/techreports/dos-censorship-report2-2019-05-31.pdf";>Addressing
Denial of Service Attacks on Free and Open Communication on the
Internet.</a>" This report, part of the first project the team engaged in,
provides a comprehensive overview of the state of our anti-censorship roadmap.
The report outlines recent improvements and open challenges around BridgeDB,
GetTor, snowflake, pluggable transports, censorship analysis, and
censorship-related user experience.</p>
+
+
<p>Are you interested in following the anti-censorship
team's work or joining the team? Then <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/AntiCensorshipTeam";>check
out our wiki page</a>. It has all details regarding our weekly IRC meeting,
our public mailing list, and the software projects we maintain.</p>
+
+
<p>We are determined to make privacy and freedom online
accessible to all, and we hope you’ll join us. If you’re unable to
volunteer, <a href="https://donate.torproject.org";>your donation</a> can help
us tackle this critical challenge.</p>

<h1>Reflections from Our Stockholm All-Hands</h1>
+
+
<p><a
href="https://blog.torproject.org/reflections-our-stockholm-all-hands";><img

src="https://blog.torproject.org/sites/default/files/styles/full_width/public/image/tor-meeting-pic-stockholm.png?itok=IHgugMwu";
style="width: 640px; height: 320px;" /></a></p>
+
+
<p>This month, the Tor Project held our biannual all hands
meeting, this time in Stockholm, Sweden. During our all hands meetings, we
bring together staff, key volunteers, and collaborators from partner
organizations like <a href="https://freedom.press";>Freedom of the Press
Foundation</a>, <a href="https://tails.boum.org";>Tails</a>, <a
href="https://guardianproject.info/";>the Guardian Project</a>, and <a
href="https://mozilla.org";>Mozilla</a>. Our goal at our all hands meetings is
to reflect on the last six months, address challenges and successes, plan our
work for the next six months, and have important in-person conversations that
are only possible when all teams are in the same location.</p>
+
+
<p>For this meeting’s location and venue, we relied on
one of Tor’s biggest strengths--our people.</p>
+
+
<p>On the first night in Stockholm, one of our local volunteers
organized a ‘do it yourself’ welcome dinner for all attendees at
Kafe 44, a long-standing nonprofit co-op cafe operating as a cultural social
center in the heart of Stockholm.</p>
+
+
<p>We were also blessed with an amazing donation from KTH Royal
Institute of Technology, which let us use their facilities for our three day
meeting where we spread out across classrooms and engaged in back-to-back
sessions organized and led by peers.</p>
+
+
<p>During these three days we had a local collective,
Kafé Ingenstans, responsible for our lunch. They only cook vegan food
with local ingredients and we had the most amazing food. We were even able to
give them a big tip that we heard they will use to buy bicycles for their
delivery. They also got connected with Kafe 44 after our welcome dinner and now
will be serving food there.</p>
+
+
<p>Through partnership with our community and our
community’s broader connections, we turned limited resources into a safe
space to cultivate connections, collaboration, and progress toward the vision
and values that we are all working towards at Tor. <a
