Community Team November & December 2019 =======================================

Support and Documentation -------------------------

In December, Cleopatra (c1e0 on IRC) started as Outreachy intern in the project "Help Tor support our users" https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/Outreachy#Project1:HelpTorProjectsupportourusers. In the last month, Gus introduced C1e0 in the Frontdesk world, and we worked together to answer users requests. We've narrowed the queue for less than 90 new tickets. C1e0 will compile our users feedback in a monthly report, see https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2020-January/002645.html.

During the Outreachy contribution period, MacTavish started the Tor Browser for Android Manual, Cleopatra and Gus are reviewing it and in January we will have as a new section inside Tor Browser Manual https://tb-manual.torproject.org.

Trainings ---------

In November we met with training partners in Global South to organize and schedule digital security trainings. And Tails and Tor were presented (among other tools) to journalism students at IUT Lannion (Lannion, France), Sciences Po Rennes (Rennes, France) and Bordeaux Aquitaine Institute of Journalism (IJBA) (Bordeaux, France).

In December Fundación Karisma (Colombia) and Zaina Foundation (Tanzania) organised digital security trainings about Tor in their local communities. They used our training materials and followed our User Research guideline to collect feedback to UX team.
