Hello Tor people! Below you can learn what the OONI team has been up to in November 2016.
Enjoy! # OONI Monthly Report: November 2016 The OONI team made steady progress in November 2016. Some highlights include: * Released 2.1.0 version of ooniprobe that adds supports for running the IM tests together with a set of tests for reachability of the tor network. * Released a beta of the Web based GUI for ooniprobe. * Released an alpha version of the measurements API (http://alpha.measurements.ooni.io) that allows to programmatically query for raw measurement files. * Held an internal meeting and hackathon in Berlin: https://ooni.torproject.org/post/ooni-dev-and-hackathon-2016/ * Made a lot of progress on the Android and iOS version of ooniprobe. You can download a beta of the apk for Android here: https://github.com/measurement-kit/ooniprobe-android/releases/tag/v0.1.0-rc. Send us an email to get an invite to test flight for iOS. ## Released ooniprobe 2.1.0 We have come out with a fresh new release of ooniprobe. In this release we now support: * Running IM tests (whatsapp and facebook messenger) * Testing public tor bridges and directory authorities * Various improvements to the web user interface. For a full changelog see: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/blob/master/ChangeLog.rst#v210-wed-7-dec-2016 ## Alpha version of Measurements API There is now a public alpha of the measurements API. Through this it is possible to: * Have a high level overview of the ooniprobe userbase: http://alpha.measurements.ooni.io/stats * See the distribution of measurements per date a-la github: http://alpha.measurements.ooni.io/files/by_date?view=calendar * Programmatically access the raw measurement data for further analysis: http://alpha.measurements.ooni.io/api/ * See reports by country: http://alpha.measurements.ooni.io/files/by_country * As for the current measurement interface you can list them by date: http://alpha.measurements.ooni.io/files/by_date By the end of this month this new measurements API will replace https://measurements.ooni.torproject.org/ ## Internal meeting and hackathon In November we had an internal meeting and public hackathon in Berlin. Our internal meeting was an opportunity for the core OONI team to meet in person, work together, and redefine our roadmap for the next six months. As part of the hackathon, we had the opportunity to engage many new individuals with our project, and to share skills and knowledge. A report on the activities carried out as part of the internal meeting and public hackathon can be found here: https://ooni.torproject.org/post/ooni-dev-and-hackathon-2016/ Our notes from the sessions we held as part of OONI's internal meeting can be found here: https://github.com/OpenObservatory/gatherings/tree/master/internal/2016-11-berlin ## Mobile client development effort The iOS and Android GUI has been totally redesigned, you can see how it looked before and how it looks now * iOS : https://github.com/measurement-kit/ooniprobe-ios/issues/43 * Android : https://github.com/measurement-kit/ooniprobe-android/issues/19 Furthermore, some algorithms in the app have been rewritten to be more stable and adapted to the new GUI. We also reviewed the roadmap and some milestones for next months have been added, in the ideal app we plan to be able to schedule tests, run them in backgound and also be activated from a remote notification. ## Measurement userbase Our network coverage has been steadily increasing. During the month of November we received measurements from 54 different countries covering 124 unique network vantage points. During the month of November ooniprobe was run more than 8,000 times. _______________________________________________ tor-reports mailing list tor-reports@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-reports
