How can I help? o/ 16:17:13 I was about to suggest maybe we can just port what we think should be ported as an article 16:17:19 and then review 16:17:21 i can do that, but i'll need time. 16:17:38 emmapeel this is great 16:18:03 where are you gathering these from? 16:18:15 some i have created, some i found while searching 16:18:18 hiro we could have articles too 16:18:30 i add the component community/tor support 16:18:31 or we could just reframe the website content as questions 16:19:02 emmapeel so these should definitely become support portal q&as 16:19:30 maybe Samdney can go through them, write a text, pass it through stephw, propose it on the ticket 16:20:26 not all of them, for example i dont think https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27292 is about the new support portal 16:21:26 mmm,... 16:21:36 hi, I'm here, sorry I'm late 16:21:43 so i think i will add this to the list of things that it would be ideal to have a contractor for 16:21:45 reading backlog... 16:22:20 hey pili ! 16:22:23 hi pili 16:22:33 okay moving along 16:22:50 I can have a look at this if you explain me what exactly what you want ;) 16:22:59 I don't have much to update about the LFI stuff right now, everything ongoing is still ongoing. I hope we will have the website updated by the end of this month 16:23:02 Hello Pili! 16:23:49 I did finalize the Tor meeting location so that's cool 16:24:00 although I guess some people think Athens in May will be too hot :) 16:24:04 flexlibris is it going to be athens? 16:24:10 ah ok that's fine... 16:24:16 it's going to be 20/25 16:24:21 emmapeel: can you send me an email? 16:24:22 hiro yeah i updated via email 16:24:28 hiro that is perfect for me :) 16:24:29 flexlibris: just out of curiosity, why Athens over Lisbon? (not complaining!) 16:24:37 because that's what won in the survey 16:24:47 Samdney: just go through the link and try to see if you can write a text about any of the things missing on the support portal 16:24:59 ok 16:25:03 Okay! 16:25:29 personally i voted for both of them :) 16:25:34 me too :D 16:25:38 they were both quite popular 16:25:41 athens won by just a few votes 16:25:45 (actually I voted for everything :P) 16:25:48 haha yeah 16:25:54 both sets of dates in athens won 16:26:10 it was tied athens may/march, then went lisbon march, lisbon may, tbilisi may 16:26:26 I want to thank you for this big tor party on my birthday 16:26:32 i chose may because both arma and shari could not make the march dates and it seemed important to have them there 16:26:32 hahah 16:26:34 wayward: wooo 16:26:39 wayward that was the real reason for the dates :) 16:26:43 +1 16:26:45 Thanks! It's going to be great! 16:26:51 yay wayward! 16:27:58 okay let's move on to outreach stuff 16:28:27 since there are a lot of items under outreach, let's just discuss what people have to share 16:28:33 updates/issues etc 16:28:52 for me, i will follow up with the sponsor9 group after this meeting so we can finalize our travel dates 16:29:11 i am also going to work on the sponsor9 report for pili over the next few days 16:29:34 thanks, I want to ask a few questions about that, but can wait until after :) 16:29:49 until after this meeting? 16:30:06 or until towards the end of the meeting :) 16:30:08 whenever works 16:30:15 i've been receiving a lot of request about trainings in brasil, so idk if we should keep it to january or decide that this is already done. 16:30:49 ggus i think if it addresses all of the sponsor9 tasks, like doing user testing and whatnot, then it's fine 16:31:08 sure pili we can talk about it at the end of the meeting 16:31:18 +1 16:31:40 ggus maybe just coordinate with the UX team to make sure you're addressing everything they need from those trainings? 16:32:02 flexlibris: ok!, i'll ping antonela 16:32:04 Guest2851 fab do you want to talk about IFF now that we're talking about outreach? 16:32:43 ggus: are you planning to run those in december? or january? 16:32:47 also about iff: ppl from derechos digitales submitted a proposal to IFF about tor in global south, and also included me. 16:33:09 antonela: november, december, january, i'm receiving a lot of requests 16:33:53 ggus: nyinz is working on having the user testing we are going to run done, lets sync about the dates so we can have it ready asap 16:34:08 ggus: re:months, oki 16:35:22 i hope the derechos digitales proposal is not too similar to the one we already submitted 16:36:00 antonela: i was thinking to open a survey in ptbr and let people answer 16:36:00 is fabi still here? 16:36:24 maybe she stepped away, so fab if you come back and want to say more about iff you should 16:36:31 we are hoping to have the tor ux and community teams both there 16:36:33 i think fab is Guest2851 16:36:42 yes and i pinged her a few seconds ago 16:36:53 ggus: a survey for what? 16:37:25 antonela: ux survey, to map their common problems, idk. 16:37:33 sorry I'm still here 16:37:43 but if you want a general public attention in brazil, the moment is now. 16:39:23 For the IFF joined session with you we would like to talk about the future of Orbot as a VPN way to route your apps to the Tor network 16:39:38 and also about the Onion Browser for iOS 16:39:42 ggus: oh yes cool, lets talk about it tomorrow during the ux meeting with nyinz 16:39:53 Guest2851: joined session? 16:40:01 i didnt know we were doing one! 16:40:07 (i think we could though) 16:40:35 Unless you would prefer for us to submit a separated session 16:40:54 no i dont have any preference, i just didnt know about this plan 16:41:06 * Samdney moment, an Onion Browser for iOS!

I knew a ton of people were going, but I took your comment upthread to mean we all were. 16:50:00 not sure if this is related, but when I was looking at the orgs we worked with for sponsor9 I noticed a lot didn't have https certs on their sites 16:50:12 and that got me thinking about letsencrypt and onion services for them :) 16:50:20 (but it's not really what we're supposed to do I know...) 16:50:39 just a thought I had about whether we could incorporate anything like that when we work with people 16:50:48 it isn't exactly addressed in the sponsor9 workplan, though we have been doing more general security trainings at those partners' requests 16:51:09 Antonela, I'll include you in our submission if that is ok with you. 16:51:15 though letsencrypt and onion services depend on whether they have sysadmin help 16:51:35 Guest2851 fab, yes sure! 16:51:58 Awesome, good talk, see you soon everyone! 16:52:05 bye fab! 16:52:07 bye fab! 16:52:08 thanks for coming fabi! 16:52:10 okay seems nothing else for outreach 16:52:24 kat5, anything to share about sponsor19? 16:52:53 I'm getting lots of feedback from arma1. I still expect to be done this week. 16:53:13 cool 16:53:45 wayward anything to update about volunteers? 16:54:06 yes! so the trac tag is all set to go, 'easy' is still being updated so I think we should keep using it 16:54:13 awesome 16:54:22 wanted to sync during this meeting about the volunteer page timeline 16:54:39 but ALSO, question: have we considered using a wiki instead or in concert with the volunteer page? 16:54:55 because I think a wiki would be better - easier to update 16:55:10 so maybe you should come to the meeting we're having on friday about the community portal so that you can understand the timeline 16:55:13 pili is organizing that meeting 16:55:36 wayward i think in general we are trying to move away from using the wiki for everything 16:55:38 the main idea is to have community.tpo as a hub for people who wants to volunteer 16:55:38 that would be super helpful! thank you 16:55:39 wayward: like the tor relay page? 16:55:47 the idea is that the new website WILL be easy to update 16:55:56 omg amazing, easy updates is all I want 16:55:57 wayward: what timezone are you on? so I can take that into account when scheduling 16:56:01 I'm in EST 16:56:05 cool 16:56:49 ok, those are my current updates re volunteer stuff - will have content ready to send to the vegas team by the end of the week for sure 16:56:57 * Samdney hi Phoul 16:57:02 awesome, thank you for all that wayward 16:57:46 np! 16:57:50 Phoul, maybe you didn't see the email about how last week's community team meeting was actually at the wrong time 16:57:55 because i didnt correct for dst 16:58:03 our meetings are continuing to be at 1600 UTC 16:58:14 but since you're here, do you have an update about relay advocacy tasks for this month? 16:58:35 Yup! 16:59:14 i think it could be a possibility to use the wiki to create a page, then when is ready we can add it to the portal 16:59:15 I was in contact with the VPN company last week, I've reviewed their first relay and sent feedback; the others should be coming up soon. I also spent last week talking with various operators about their costs and collecting this information for a potential funder. The obfs4proxy guide now has FreeBSD and OpenBSD instructions. 16:59:24 (Sorry for missing that email until late, was not paying attention to my inbox) 16:59:26 emmapeel yes that would be fine cc wayward 16:59:42 I also did an RT training last week with pili / wayward / sstevenson 16:59:52 awesome phoul how many relays are they bringing online? 17:00:07 They have nto given a number, but I believe they are starting with around 5Gb/sec 17:00:11 (oooh good idea emmapeel) 17:00:26 It should be under 15 relays to begin. 17:01:33 cool 17:01:40 okay we are over time actually 17:01:41 just noticed 17:02:04 oh and pili didn't get to update about the sponsor9 report 17:02:11 well i dont think there is another team waiting to use this room 17:02:15 in case you want to discuss that now pili 17:02:18 sure 17:02:44 so I've started putting stuff together in a google doc here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ne5rbVdpIW4IhKb6GpkZEWcmi2ozmETMlONeC2rfxnA/edit?usp=sharing 17:03:04 and I had some questions for the community team :) 17:03:10 sure 17:04:02 to begin with I'm looking for any onsite materials that we produced, I think it would be nice to add some of them to the report 17:04:19 sure we have slidedecks 17:04:43 is there somewhere where all the sponsor9 material is collected? 17:05:09 pili no, but is a good opportunity to have one :) 17:05:12 I was looking in trac to see if there were any tickets also :) 17:05:25 antonela: I'll ask for the UX material tomorrow :D 17:05:58 pili ok 17:06:52 maybe git repository? :) 17:07:02 do you want one? 17:07:15 * antonela puts her name to work on s9 with pili 17:07:22 a git repo would be good i think 17:07:46 depends on the kind of material you peeps have 17:07:49 hiro: yeah, where? 17:08:01 text, pdfs, a few picts 17:08:03 I can create one on gitweb synced with github 17:08:10 lets do it 17:08:37 ok 17:08:43 will do 17:08:47 btw, ggus is it safe to mention the organisations we worked with in the s9 report? 17:08:50 we need to clean our debriefs from sensible information 17:10:00 also ggus antonela alison (anyone else?) should we have another meeting this week to coordinate on this? 17:10:01 pili: i remember talked with isabela and the s9 didn't want to know who we worked. 17:10:14 sure we can have another sync 17:10:24 and in that sync let's plan our travel dates for 2019 17:10:27 ok, that's good to know ggus 17:10:38 flexlibris: +1 17:11:06 okay anything else to discuss here? 17:11:20 not from my notes 17:11:25 anyone else? 17:12:00 seems not 17:12:09 okay, going to kill the bot. thanks everyone :) 17:12:12 #endmeeting
