I think it will be a great way to show off the communities that help Tor in this way. 20:02:52 +1 20:03:00 yo'ure doing great stuff phoul 20:03:11 Thank you! :) 20:03:41 anyone have questions or comments about Phoul's update? 20:03:53 i need a few days to read end-to-end 20:03:57 ;P 20:04:14 lol 20:04:22 One thing I want to make sure people are aware of is the last note about my availability next week. Just so people know, I will be mostly MIA from the 3rd-6th. 20:04:28 for sure 20:04:30 im on a exit slower than the second coming xD just got it popped 20:04:32 it's a holiday week in the US anway 20:04:33 reading ~ 20:04:48 "slower than the second coming" omg i'm ded 20:04:51 lmfao 20:04:54 :') 20:04:58 ha! 20:05:03 one quick thing Phoul... 20:05:14 Sure! 20:05:29 i dont know where you're located... but are you able to conduct one-on-one meetings with relay ops ppl? 20:05:43 i mean, one-on-one to get a better sense of hte individual issues 20:05:53 we tend to rely on the virutal.. overrely 20:05:53 I'm located in Canada, Winnipeg. I'm happy to have 1 on 1 discussions with operators though. 20:05:55 finished reading, +1 phoul :] 20:06:18 would it be useful to help compose 'things to ask'... 20:06:24 not just for you, but for all of us to use? 20:06:36 "any problems you face?" 20:06:50 "things new relays ops should know" 20:07:04 i've thought about that for years... 20:07:12 so many one-off discussions iwht other relay ops 20:07:16 maybe a pad? 20:07:29 That sounds like a great idea! Ideally things relay operators need to know are in the guide, but I will put together a list of things we can ask operators. I've got a list ive been using when interacting with operators responding to my introductions, but could be expanded. 20:07:50 I'll put them into a pad, and get the link shared on community to start. 20:07:59 that is definitely a thing you could delegate to another relay operator though 20:08:03 a blog post for example 20:08:07 "things I wish I knew when I got started" 20:08:19 just saying cause I know you're busy 20:08:25 yes... these questions might *feed* the guide 20:08:30 yes 20:08:32 phoul, gman999: speaking of relay operator stuff. the mozilla folks wanted to know: imagine a graph where the x axis is how much money they put in, and the y axis is how much capacity gets added to the tor network. via the torservers.net trickle-down umbrella. what does this graph look like? 20:08:33 Yup! Sorry, I meant the list of questions to ask new relay operators, but I think that style of post would also be great! 20:08:35 cool. 20:08:50 arma that's a good question 20:08:51 the answer for the graph probably involves figuring out more about each of the torservers.net partners, where they are, etc. 20:08:54 i'll give it some thought 20:09:08 you could also just post the question to tor-relays and ask them to weigh in on a pad 20:09:13 IMHO, i'ts a distortion to start wiht torservers 20:09:15 (the original question gman had) 20:09:37 flexlibris: Yeah, I wasnt sure if community or tor-relays would be best. But tor-relays may be better, I can send to people who are interested on this team directly. 20:09:44 i'll do that question to tor-relays@ after the meeting if it helps 20:10:10 arma: I will add this to my list :) 20:10:38 it's a great question arma.. i was thinking 'around' that issue 20:10:52 i've been running relays for an eternity, but always donated bandwidth 20:11:20 yeah. in theory the money gets stretched by adding it to non-profits that have their own budgets and stuff 20:11:28 and we want that for the diversity goals too 20:11:42 i'm more curious about the volunteers we dont know 20:11:44 think of it like matching donations but matching other people 20:11:50 yes... connected to diversity 20:12:31 anyway, i don't mean to derail. we can chat more about meeting ends. 20:12:43 relevant, not derailing 20:12:43 s/about/after/ 20:12:47 anything else for phoul? 20:12:52 yes 20:12:56 go ahead 20:12:59 I'm reading lots of relay issues from different channels that I'm monitoring, so I can make a list 20:13:24 cy63113: That would be great! 20:13:25 that's it :) 20:13:34 Thank you :) 20:13:47 great 20:13:48 I'll organize and send to you 20:13:54 might be something to add to the relay ops wiki 20:14:01 who has an update and wants to go next? 20:14:46 okay well I can go 20:15:02 so I got the results of the meeting time survey 20:15:15 the two best times are Mondays at 1600 UTC and Tuesdays at 1800 UTC 20:15:32 I have kind of an aversion to Monday meetings, but they are better than Friday meetings, and I think 1600 UTC will be more inclusive 20:15:35 for more timezones 20:16:01 you should send an email to the list, for people who are not here currently 20:16:07 that's an hour before the network team mtg? 20:16:11 but before I choose one I have to find out whether or not there's another meeting at that time 20:16:15 arma that works 20:16:21 so 1530? 20:16:21 Samdney yes of course i will do that 20:16:28 valid concern IMHO arma 20:16:34 could do 1530 20:16:51 okay 1530 it is 20:16:53 an hour before shouldn't be an issue 20:16:59 the tor browser team is an hour after the network team mtg 20:17:08 just block off the channel and meet meet meet 20:17:10 keeping people to 1 hour meetings is good 20:17:35 okay then i'm keeping it to 1600 20:17:39 and i will update everyone 20:17:55 okay other stuff 20:18:26 planning the mexico city meeting. feeling pretty overwhelmed with tasks for that if anyone is dying to help plan the meeting 20:18:28 come see me 20:18:57 LFI just started its 4th week. today we had april glaser come and talk about the business model of the internet. she was awesome. 20:19:22 got our timeslot for HOPE and am gonna finish organizing our talk and booth 20:19:29 there's a time? 20:19:32 not on www 20:19:37 yes i updated the group 20:19:44 oh, shit.. i'll reread 20:19:50 so i can sort out social event 20:19:58 yeah i'm gonna ping the group again tomorrow 20:20:06 i just wrote quickly yesterday to say we'd been given the time 20:20:42 okay the last thing i need to update everyone on 20:20:54 the support portal is in its soft launch! that means it needs your feedback 20:20:58 support.torproject.org 20:21:01 huge! 20:21:15 yeeey :] 20:21:20 take a look and then report whatever is wrong: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/community/HowToReportBugFeedback 20:21:31 it definitely needs translation help if you want to work on that 20:23:07 that's basically it from me 20:23:08 best way to report feedback is mail to the community team list? 20:23:42 that works! or one of the other methods listed in the bug feedback thing 20:23:45 related question: how does the translation system work? sorry if I missed this 20:23:48 but feedback to the list will get to the right place 20:23:50 is it Transifex?

20:40:04 yo! 20:40:15 ggus do it! 20:40:31 yesterday we finished the tor training week in colombia 20:40:58 excellent 20:41:08 besides the training, we made a lot of contacts here 20:41:53 in some cities, some ppl didn't even heard about Tor before 20:42:28 in other places, some ppl had contact before with Tor 20:43:30 cool, really excited to see what you all learned there 20:44:22 i guess we made 6 trainings + meetings 20:44:27 wow that's a lot 20:44:31 if only we could map out 'dead zones' for tor awareness 20:44:54 in cali we could have more, but didn't had time 20:44:54 we can use relay and user distribution as a guide to some extent 20:45:08 thats true ^ 20:45:23 "know what tor is" and "use tor" are somewhat overlapping but not at all the same 20:45:33 i worry especially about "think they know what tor is but are wrong" 20:45:45 yeah, which is common 20:46:01 one is issue of abstract publicity, the other is part of a threat model 20:46:32 what you read in Time magazine (US) v "i'm being targeted" 20:47:02 what I read mostly is something with "dark..." ;) 20:47:27 yes, some knew about "tor and deep web" perspective, but we had the chance to change this misconception. 20:49:08 anything else for ggus? 20:49:12 i have some minor updates about: tor meetup porto alegre; inviting osu (derechos digitales) to community meeting 20:49:17 sure sure 20:49:21 and mexico meeting 20:49:22 but 20:49:33 my internet is pretty bad right now. 20:49:38 so (done). 20:49:41 :) 20:49:52 one more thing from me... 20:50:02 well, now that we have chosen a new meeting time, you can give us your update on monday at 1600 utc ggus :) 20:50:05 gman999, sure 20:50:09 i started to consolidate 'annual event' schedule 20:50:10 oh, i read on the mexicocity wiki page about a thing gwolf is doing at his university after? should i volunteer to do a talk there? 20:50:19 would include HOPE, defcon, ccc, etc... 20:50:31 arma i'm sure he'd love that 20:50:34 i am hoping to speak at it 20:50:35 arma: looks a great idea! 20:50:35 outside events that we should intervene in on some level 20:50:46 i'l have update soon on that .. and post to community@ 20:51:04 cool! 20:51:30 plus social space for Friday at HOPE, since panel is at noon on friday 20:51:54 and i will take lead in getting more informal workshops by TPO attendees 20:52:24 (all have bene on my list for a while) 20:52:45 yay 20:53:26 rachel is wanting to do some trip to previous-civilization ruins nearby 20:53:35 Teotihuacan?
