Hello, this status report contains some items from April as well, since it seems like I never managed to send out that status report on time...
# Activities of May 2016 - Attended the Montreal hidden service hackfest where we did tons of hidden services development. Check out the corresponding blog post: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-montreal-building-next-generation-onion-services - Did lots of testing and bug fixes on the shared randomness system (prop250). Our branch has already been reviewed a few times, and it's now revised and back in needs_review. Exciting stuff! - Did lots of design work for prop224. See relevant threads and commits in torspec.git: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-May/010913.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010713.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010719.html - Did some code review and design discussion on the new guard algorithm project (prop259). Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to spend on this during May... https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010714.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010773.html - Seems like I'm the secondary mentor of two GSoC students this year. Here are their introduction letters: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010832.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010822.html - Tried to contribute to the onioncat thread but apparently I didn't get the concept: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-May/010999.html - Did code reviews (#17799, #18620, #13239, #15621, #17101, #18761) and wrote patches (#18756) for miscellaneous Tor tickets. - Spent time engaging in hackerone bug bounty discussions and triaging. - Helped Kate with some press stuff about hidden services. # Activities for June 2016 - Finalize the prop250 branch and maybe even deploy it on an actual dirauth. - Work more on design and development of prop224. - Hopefully get back on prop259 and try to understand how future development in that space can be organized. - Spend more time doing code reviews, triaging bug bounties and GSoC. _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
