Community Team

Welcome to the Community Team page!

The Community Team is for helping people who help Tor, and growing and sustaining the Tor community. We work on things like outreach, advocacy, teaching, user support, getting relay operators what they need, and community governance.

Community Team Projects

Communication

Our synchronous medium of communication is (#tor-project:matrix.org) on IRC/Matrix/OFTC. If you've never been on IRC/Matrix before, ​here are some instructions to get started. The Tor Project Community Team meets every Monday at 14 UTC (other timezones) in BBB.

Our asynchronous medium of communication is the Tor Forum. Feel free to register and to post if you want to say something that you think is on topic.
