Subject: GSoC Introduction - Extending Tor Network Metrics
From: xckj...@gmail.com
To: or-talk@freehaven.net

Hey everyone,
I'm Kevin Berry, one of the GSoC students working for Tor this summer. 
Originally from New Jersey, I'm currently a junior at Villanova University in 
Philadelphia. I will be guided by Karsten on "Extending Tor Network Metrics." 
My plans revolve around porting Ernie (the metrics portal software) to a 
dynamic web application. I will add a search feature to the *large* amount of 
relay descriptor data (for specific items like server names, characteristics), 
and automate the collection and publishing of a few high-level network 
statistics. If you haven't yet read my initial proposal, I'm including it here: 
http://kjb.homeunix.com/files/gsoc2010_tor_application.html . The timeline was 
made a bit more specific since I submitted it. Lots to do!

I plan on hosting my GSoC blog and project at http://kjb.homeunix.com . Since a 
bit of my project involves web development, I plan to have snapshots of my 
project hosted there. It's a dynamic dns domain pointing to a box at home, so I 
apologize if it is slow/unreliable at times. 

I'm usually idling in oftc and freenode as kjbbb. I've already met a few of 
you, but definitely feel free to drop me a line. I will be around a lot more 
often after finals end next week, so I will have time to set up, ask questions, 
and get ready to begin working this summer. I'm excited to be able to dedicate 
my full time to open source and Tor, so thank you Google and everyone else 
involved for giving me this great opportunity! 

Kevin

It's good to read that people are working to improve Tor. Welcome.
However, that's the second unexplained reference to OFTC - do you mean
http://www.oftc.net/oftc/ ?
It's best not to assume that acronyms are understood by everyone...we don't all 
move in the same circles.
