# Highlights - Attended and spoke at Stockholm Internet Forum. See the trip report at https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-reports/2014-May/000538.html - Talked to three hardware companies looking to integrate Tor into their products. Estimated customer based is thousands to 75 million devices. - Talked to two software companies looking to integrate Tor into their products. Estimated customer base is 8 to 110 million installs across Windows and OS X. - Helped structure, write, and review 5 proposals for funding. - Had 8 check-in calls with current vendors and existing funders. Overall, pretty happy with our output. - Looked into legality of receiving a large financial donation from a country on the US Treasury embargoed list. Unsurprisingly, we cannot accept such a donation due to the source. - Was interviewed about 18 times from various global news organizations about Tor-related topics. - Acquired an EV code signing cert based on a donation from a well-respected certificate authority. - Finished helping to co-teach this semester's MIT Co-Design class. Worked with an awesome team to produce a functional product to help victims of domestic violence and technology. - Some great, positive articles about Tor were published: - http://motherboard.vice.com/read/tor-is-being-used-as-a-safe-haven-for-victims-of-cyberstalking - http://betaboston.com/news/2014/05/07/as-domestic-abuse-goes-digital-shelters-turn-to-counter-surveillance-with-tor/ - I was named one of the top thinkers and idealists by Boston Magazine, http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/article/2014/04/29/power-of-ideas/4/ - Found 4 more funding sources interested in receiving proposals from us - updated or finished a small pile of trac tickets related to trademark trolls, website updates, and sysadmin tasks - worked on prep work for summer dev meeting - helped think through winter dev meeting
