Hi all! I'm heading home this next weekend for my favorite holiday (happy pumpkin day!), so sending this a tad early. Personally my favorite thing about dev meetings are the collaborative projects they inspire afterward. This month I set aside Nyx in favor of working with the rest of ya.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Metrics Collaboration with Karsten ---------------------------------------------------------------- As part of our devious schemes to benchmark our various descriptor libraries [1] I wrote a comparison of their capabilities... https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/mirror_mirror_on_the_wall.html#are-there-any-other-parsing-libraries Been a while since I used Eclipse. Got metrics-lib set up and sent a minor patch to note its dependencies (#17370). Next need to script up the benchmark scripts we discussed. Also discussed our CollecTor index (#17321) and thanks to Karsten it's now a thing! ---------------------------------------------------------------- List Administration ---------------------------------------------------------------- During our dev meeting we had several discussions around our email lists. This month set up tor-project@ [2] to both... a. Improve transparency a tad by providing a place for our internal community to discuss things that don't need to be so secret. b. Lessen the need to add everyone and their dog to tor-internal@! Jury's still out on if this'll work, but I hope so. Also followed up on the thread about trimming tor-internal@. The community seems pretty split on this so doubt anything will come of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DocTor and Directory Authorities ---------------------------------------------------------------- * DocTor check for network latency to help surface issues like Faravahar's ongoing sluggishness (#17338). * Took a quick stab at an IPv6 ping for authorities. Presently stumped on IPv6 support on cappadocicum (#17298). * Sending the fingerprint change notifications to bad-relays@ and bumped its threshold to cut down on false alarms. * Made a DirAuth wiki to help coordinate tickets. Was worth a shot but personally doubt this is gonna go anywhere. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/directory_authority ---------------------------------------------------------------- Few other noteworthy things were... * Tor SoP concluded this month with everyone passing! Worked with Cristobal to settle on a license for Erebus (#17314) and now in the process of moving it to tpo infrastructure. * Attended TA3M and SeaGL [3] but sadly didn't stick around late enough to hear Richard Stallman. Cheers! -Damian [1] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2015-October/009606.html [2] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-project [3] http://seagl.org/ _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list tor-reports@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
