Google Summer of Code 2009
Hi everybody, I'm excited to be able to work for the Tor project in this year's Google Summer of Code! I would like to say thank you for giving me this opportunity and for helping me get more familiar with Tor, and a special thanks to Jacob Appelbaum for being my mentor. My name is Runa Sandvik and I am studying computer science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I am currently in my second year of a bachelor's degree. I plan to continue on to a master's programme, in either networking or information security once I have graduated next year. This summer I will be working on the translation wiki for the Tor website - making it possible to translate the website via Pootle. My application abstract can be found here: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/eff/t124022248835 I will post some notes to this list about my progress during the summer, as well as blog about it on http://gsoc-tor.blogspot.com/ Feel free to find me in #tor on OFTC (or write an email) should you want to discuss this project or ask any questions :) -- Runa Sandvik

Glad to have you with us! :) And thank you for starting the introductions on this list. It would be neat if the other GSoC students did the same. A paragraph or two about you and your projects would be nice. Just go ahead, it's the community bonding period [0]. Community meet $student, $student meet community!

Google Summer of Code 2009
Hi Everybody, I want to start by saying thank you. It is an honor to be selected for Google Summer of Code on the Tor Project. I only hope that this project can be the start of my larger commitment to Tor. You've all placed your faith in me to complete the project before summer's end. With my mentor Matt Edman's assistance I intend to do just that. My name is Stephen Tyree and I'm a second year PhD student in Computer Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My research interests deal with general cryptography, secure information processing schemes and information anonymity schemes. The project I will be working on requires three tasks. The first task will be the creation of a plugin API for Vidalia. The end goal of this would be increased modularity in the Vidalia codebase as well as an expansion of the developer community. The second task will be the creation of a Tor Browser Bundle plugin for Mac OSX. The purpose of this plugin is fairly self-explanatory. The third task will be the creation of a plugin for HerdictWeb. HerdictWeb (http://www.herdict.org/web/) is a web application designed to allow easy reporting of website availability and thus censorship based on ones location. The security of this reporting is increased when coupled with the Tor network making a Vidalia plugin for this a natural fit. If you have any questions or comments about the project you can find me hanging around #tor under the guise "tyree731". I want to say thank you again to everybody involved for selecting me for this year's Google Summer of Code. Let's Hack! ;-) -Stephen Tyree
