16:59:50 <hellais> who is here?
16:59:59 <jun> Hiya
17:00:38 <sbs> Hi
17:00:53 <willscott> hello
17:03:41 <hellais> many new people today!
17:03:51 <aagbsn> here
17:04:46 <hellais> poly was having some issues with OTF blocking tor so let's see if he is able to join via the vps I setup for him
17:05:03 <hellais> anyways I would say we start with the report backs
17:06:03 <poly> hello :O
17:06:18 <hellais> poly: :)
17:06:28 <poly> hellais: thanks very much for the VPS setup!
17:06:32 <poly> I owe you one
17:07:00 <hellais> :)
17:07:12 <hellais> poly: would you like to give us some updates on the network meter?
17:07:51 <poly> Alright.
17:09:07 <poly> So in the past week I have been working on a network meter branch that added support for installing, listing plugins
17:09:46 <poly> after installing program via the optional "install" tab, they appear as a grid within the "run" tab
17:10:10 <poly> Pull request can be found here: https://github.com/measurement-kit/network-meter/pull/5
17:10:29 <poly> the plan was to have hellais review the code and merge it when ready
17:11:09 <poly> Next setup would probably be integrating the binary execution capabilities already in NM with the installed plugins
17:11:14 <poly> fin
17:12:00 <hellais> excellent
17:12:16 <hellais> I believe sbs is reviewing it and will merge it
17:13:01 <sbs> hellais: True, will do this later this evening
17:13:48 <hellais> so I shall go then
17:13:55 <poly> sbs: thanks in advance
17:14:26 <hellais> last week anadahz and I were in Toronto for the citizenlab summer institute
17:14:28 <sbs> poly: :)
17:15:00 <hellais> it was a very fruitful event and a lot of interesting conversations and very concrete things were made
17:15:03 <hellais> some highlights:
17:15:40 <hellais> * We made a roadmap for the furthering of the citizen lab test-lists project: https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/milestones/test-lists%201.0.0%20-%20support%20user%20URL%20submission
17:17:05 <hellais> * With willscott we converted the satellite data to the OONI data format and he pushed it to the ooni-incoming bucket. Next step is to run it through the pipeline with this branch: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-pipeline-ng/tree/feature/import_satellite
17:17:22 <hellais> * With jun we discussed about some ways to futher our probe operator program
17:18:00 <hellais> * We connected with various potential probe operators
17:18:19 <hellais> anadahz can then perhaps integrate with more details on the event
17:19:11 <hellais> back in the real world, I started convering the setup-dependencies.sh script into a install.sh script to be run to install ooniprobe on any distro/platform: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/pull/399
17:19:21 <hellais> testing of ^^ is highly appreciated
17:19:54 <hellais> </reportback>
17:21:28 <anadahz> Hi
17:21:39 <anadahz> not much from my side this week
17:22:25 <anadahz> I have setup 1 more server for the pipleine cluster
17:22:32 <anadahz> *pipeline
17:23:11 <anadahz> working on the publication of the greek gambling censorship article
17:24:55 <anadahz> regarding citizenlab we have worked a bit more on the test-lists
17:25:43 <anadahz> https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists
17:27:11 <anadahz> apart from the obvious URL lists we aim is to include as many public blocklists as possible and by using hellais implementation to update them automagically
17:28:06 <jun> sorry if that's scope creep but have you guys also thought about keyword based blocking and relevant keyword-lists?
17:29:39 <hellais> jun: yes that is indeed something that would also be useful to build and citizenlab also has quite a bit of data on that
17:29:59 <hellais> though since the keyword based filtering is not as prevalent as just URL blocking we don't currently focus that much on that
17:30:11 <hellais> that said keywords can also be useful to build URL lists
17:30:56 <jun> not as prevalent -> makes sense ! building URL lists -> fuzz !! :)
17:31:23 <hellais> fuzz?
17:32:12 <jun> I meant that it sounds like "fuzz testing" censorship
17:33:45 <jun> I like the programmable scrapers for test-lists by the way. It's really cool.
17:36:27 <anadahz> in other news we had some discussion on how we can probably acquire more hardware for the pipeline cluster
17:37:52 <anadahz> in any case we were planning to have an alpha ready by now but the German post offices are on strike last weeks and we miss some vital hardware parts
17:38:41 <anadahz> s/are/were as of today
17:39:44 <anadahz> EOF
17:39:44 <jun> Hey anadahz, hope we can catch up soon. Is there some code for the pipeline work?
17:39:47 <hellais> jun: yes indeed and it can also be used for crawling search engines withj those keywords
17:40:20 <hellais> jun: here: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-pipeline-ng
17:40:36 <anadahz> jun: yes we could even meet IIRL with hellais next week
17:40:43 <hellais> jun: the bulk of the actual data processing code is here: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-pipeline-ng/tree/master/pipeline/batch
17:41:00 <hellais> yes I will be in Berlin from the 12th-17th 19th-22nd
17:41:52 <jun> 20th should work for me
17:42:19 <hellais> great
17:42:42 <hellais> sbs, nuke: do you have any updates from the measurement-kit front
17:42:44 <hellais> ?
17:43:51 <sbs> hellais: no, sadly, <reportback>last week I was able to contribute a bit on the OTF proposal and then I was sucked up by other activities at work</>
17:44:37 <hellais> ok no worries
17:45:18 <hellais> so that is also another thing that we didn't mention though was also an important achievement for last week
17:45:28 <hellais> the completion of the OTF proposal!
17:46:12 <anadahz> hellais: indeed!
17:47:17 <hellais> are there any questions or commments?
17:47:26 <hellais> are there some things in particular you would like to discuss talk about?
17:47:45 <hellais> (in general, not just about the OTF proposal)
17:51:21 <anadahz> hellais: any updates on ADINA?
17:51:37 <hellais> anadahz: yes
17:51:59 <hellais> so ADINA is A Dive Into Network Anomalies, the OONI data visualization hackathon to happen in Italy in October
17:52:24 <hellais> last week we did at the Italian Parliament (the same venue for ADINA) e-privacy
17:52:41 <hellais> so I got to also learn a bit more first hand what the location is like
17:52:58 <hellais> the cons:
17:53:17 <hellais> * Security is super strict like at airports, you need to pass you bag through a metal detector and they ask for ID
17:53:41 <hellais> * We need to give them a full list of participants 7 days in advance and they will check their ID
17:54:17 <hellais> * You need to be wearing a jacket at all time while inside the room
17:54:22 <hellais> the pros:
17:54:40 <hellais> * The internet is not as bad as I expected. It's super censored, but it's probably manageable to setup a VPN
17:54:53 <hellais> * They will provide buffet and sandwitches for lunch
17:55:29 <hellais> * The room is very cool and every chair has a power outlet
17:56:00 <hellais> I also spoke to our point of contact at hte parliament and she said that on the 9th there is going to be the committee meeting
17:56:12 <hellais> and then we will know for sure if the date 1-2 October are confirmed
17:57:10 <hellais> anything else?
17:59:41 <anadahz> There is  going to be a Measurement team meeting on  Wednesday, July 8, 2015, 14:00 UTC in #tor-project
18:00:36 <hellais> yup
18:00:52 <hellais> you are welcome to join if interested
18:00:56 <anadahz> jun: willscott maybe it's of higly interest to you ^^
18:01:00 <hellais> this is the Tor Measurement team as a high
18:01:05 <hellais> *whole
18:01:09 <hellais> so next steps
18:01:18 <hellais> (since we are a bit short on time)
18:01:31 <hellais> I shall work on implementing the site for ADINA
18:01:53 <hellais> figuring out why the reports submitted manually with oonireport are not being processed
18:02:49 <hellais> To more testing on install.sh and work on the ooni-sysadmin scripts
18:02:51 <hellais> *Do
18:03:02 <hellais> anadahz:
18:03:07 <jun> hellais: I guess that the "site" is dataviz work for the ADINA event you're talking about? where is the code for that?
18:03:43 <hellais> jun: it will be integrate into ooni.torproject.org: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-web
18:03:57 <jun> Ok thanks!
18:04:02 <hellais> some designers made a mockup of the pages
18:04:32 <hellais> jun: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19QR1MY5dFrBsX_YWl2ZtP5NkIxCUW382yCzsaFbPrFA/edit?usp=sharing
18:04:39 <hellais> this is the content of the page and the mockups
18:05:01 <jun> Awesome
18:05:04 <hellais> ah no the mockups are not there
18:05:06 <hellais> just the banner
18:05:19 <hellais> anyways it will soon be published ;)
18:05:57 <jun> The banner rocks.
18:07:07 <hellais> I now realise that actually wasn't the link I wanted to share since it includes the budget for the event, but anyways we are for transparency so whatever :P
18:07:52 <anadahz> I'm planning to finish the lepidopter image script with the Tor HS for managing RasPis
18:07:55 <hellais> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-2bf8UUOkcCM7g1ItzOY-4BYRBkI91QndWSgh8RdEx4/edit?usp=sharing
18:08:00 <hellais> this is the correct link with the mockups at the end
18:08:35 <jun> Thanks and sorry for interrupting the next steps :/
18:08:36 <anadahz> ^G: Upcoming work for this week
18:10:09 <anadahz> jun: no worries it's a public IRC channel mixed with 48 humans and bots ;)
18:10:59 <anadahz> hopefully finish setting up the cluster if hardware are ever going to be delivered!
18:11:10 <anadahz> s/hardware/hardware parts
18:11:31 <hellais> my girlfriend will eat all the food if we don'
18:11:38 <hellais> 't finish the meeting soon :P
18:12:19 <hellais> anybody else have some next steps they would like to state?
18:12:23 <anadahz> Buy/setup a RasPi for hack66 hackerspace in Cyprus
18:12:27 <sbs> hellais: agreed, so here's my quick next steps: I'll review poly's pull request and do some joint work with nuke
18:13:14 <hellais> sbs: excellent
18:14:07 <hellais> so thank you all for attending and if you want to get involved/learn more about other measurement related tor project stuff join us wednesday on #tor-project at 14:00 UTC
