Distributed teams
by Kate Krauss 05 Jan '16

05 Jan '16

Hi, Here are a few articles I've collected about the special situation of distributed teams--I'm forwarding them in case they are useful to any of us (most of us are on such teams). They are worth a read, though each organization is different; some of these ideas would be great for Tor, while others would be terrible. 1. Work to do in person vs work to do remotely (some of these things we do already): https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/software-in-person by Sumana Harihareswara 2. From 18F, on best practices for distributed teams: https://18f.gsa.gov/2015/10/15/best-practices-for-distributed-teams/ The person I've found who has really thought through the stresses and pressures on remote workers, and what to do about this organizationally is Oktavia Jonsdottir (https://www.irex.org/person/oktavia-jonsdottir). She manages a very large, international, distributed team of people who train human rights activists to use online privacy tools under high risk, pressure, and time zones that span 14 hours (none of this is documented on the web). Her management decisions are based on peer-reviewed research as well as her direct experience as a manager. 3. Finally, this classic--The Tyranny of Structurelessness: http://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm Sincerely, Kate -- DONATE TO THE TOR PROJECT Join our first-ever crowdfunding campaign! https://torproject.org/donate Kate Krauss Director of Communications and Public Policy kate(a)torproject.org @TorProject 1-718-864-6647 (works for Signal also) PGP: CC0D 9B42 DE89 D4D0 619B A606 DDEB 3937 7D18 973B

maatuska starts voting BadExit
by Linus Nordberg 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hi, There are three directory authorities voting BadExit (tor26, gabelmoo and moria1). As announced at the dev meeting in Berlin earlier this year, another dirauth (maatuska) will start voting BadExit. This will happen today or tomorrow. maatuska will start out by voting BadExit exactly like the other three are doing now, including AuthDirBadExitCC sy,ir (see ticket #4923). One effect of this is that three out of four voting dirauths will have to vote BadExit in order for an exit to lose its exit flag. I have high hopes in longclaw will start voting too soon, improving the balance some.

Money raised at Hackadon in Paris
by Lunar 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Hi! I have been invited to present Tor at the “Hackadon” [1] organized by Without Model [2] this evening. Sarah Gold [3] did an introduction talk were she addressed topics like privacy and control over computers and data, developping free software tools by working closer with users, cooperation between designers and developpers, funding and sustainability. She very recently started a new company called IF to work on these topics. We most likely will have the chance to meet in Valencia. Six different projects working on open culture and tools then had five minutes to pitch what they were up to. After rounds of questions, the audience was invited to distribute money that the organizers had collected between the projects. 620€ were gathered for The Tor Project and several attendees came to me to say how much the appreciate our work. :) [1]: It's a word play as “don” in French means donation, and as the whole sounds close to “hackathon”.

Kazahstan will setup MITM goverment SSL CA root from 01.01.2016
by Matthew Finkel 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

This caught my eye... Looks like there are ~8000 direct users, and 100-200 bridge users now. There aren't many details, and the English version of the press release is a direct Google Translate from the original. I couldn't find the step-by-step guide mentioned, I'm thinking it's accessible after you log in but maybe it's not published yet.
