- Juris, qbi, I and others will soon write the OTF concept note for
Tor relay community capacity building. We've had a series of meetings with the different relay operators, and with their help and Moritz's we've got enough material to write the proposal. The objective here is to give support to relay operators worldwide, and that support includes legal resources, in-person meetings, and so forth.
This is awesome! I have an ex-coworker who runs exit node and asked me questions about ISP etc .. and I ended up asking him to email tor-relays because I didn't know for sure what resources we had for it. Such dedicated resource will be great!
Awesome! Yeah, general idea of this proposal is "what do relay operators need besides specifically technical resources and injections of cash?" and based on feedback from them, that seems to be: better ways for them to connect to other people in the relay community, comprehensive legal resources, a point person to serve as a community manager and help facilitate these things, and resources to help convince potential relay operators/organizations that this is a very good thing that they should do.
If our concept note gets accepted, we will write the full proposal with more feedback from tor-relays, so let your friend know!
FWIW, I very often get personal emails from bridge operators asking for advice and assistance, which takes up quite a bit of my time. I would be super stoked if there were a person who could serve as the general point-of-contact for this, and I would also be happy to provide them with regular updates on advice for running bridges and PTs.
