The entire Tor network would benefit from a "Tor Weather" service to notify relay and bridge operators when the state of their relays has changed.

This project already existed and was known as "Tor Weather". It was unfortunately discontinued due to lack of maintenance and resources to keep the project alive. However, we think that this is still a great idea and the most efficient way to achieve and maintain a healthy Tor network on the long run. The resulting service should conform to our current styleguide. This project already existed and was known as "Tor Weather".

There is a repository, maintained independently from the Tor project, with code that we could think about reusing and expanding upon for implementing this proposal. It's at https://github.com/thingless/torweather/. There are additional resources below which should get evaluated to find the right design choice for a new Tor Weather service.

This notification service should support subscribing via single relay fingerprint or MyFamily groups. Additionally, it should not need any subscription change if a new relay gets added to the family. As this service would store email addresses of potential tor relay operators, they should be kept private and safeguarded. However, a passive observer can collect them by watching outbound email traffic if no TLS is used. As such, this service should suggest using a dedicated email address for this service.

Once a basic email notification service is implemented, these are some ideas for potential notification types that could be implemented within it: Once a basic email notification service is implemented, these are some ideas for potential notification types that could be implemented within it:

Tor has many open development tasks that are well-suited to summer projects, and also many students who are excited to work on them. As a non-profit, we are used to engaging with volunteers for standalone projects which then become part of the larger Tor ecosystem.

We understand that in order for students to stay on schedule they need to be engaged and invested in their projects, we hope to capitalise on this by picking students who have already demonstrated commitment and/or interest to our community.

As part of the student application process, we will ask students to break down their project into manageable steps, ideally with timelines. This is a pre-requisite first step before any work is started. We will use this timeline to track progress throughout the project.

We will ensure that students have a regular check in time with their mentors in order to check status and share any blockers. We will encourage students to be open about any issues that they may encounter so that a solution may be found.

We encourage GSoC students to start off by interacting with us on IRC to help us get to know them and them to get to know our community. We encourage GSoC students to start off by interacting with us on IRC to help us get to know them and them to get to know our community.
Tor already has an active community on IRC and the mailing lists, and there's also an active research community of scientists trying to improve security of systems like Tor. We can draw on this community---the current active Tor volunteers as well as the graduate and undergraduate students at the research institutions to engage with our GSoC students.

We can draw on this community---the current active Tor volunteers as well as the graduate and undergraduate students at the research institutions to engage with our GSoC students.
Further, we require our students to introduce themselves to the community, and to make periodic status reports available in a public format. Each development team at Tor has weekly team meetings on IRC. GSoC students will be attached to a particular development team at Tor depending on their mentor and project and will be encouraged to participate in these weekly meetings to share their progress and any blockers on their project.

### How will you keep students involved with your community after GSoC? ### How will you keep students involved with your community after GSoC?
We have quite a good track record of past GSoC mentees staying on as volunteers and contributing code, some have even ended up becoming core contributors to Tor.

From past experience, the students that were most invested in their project and our development community were the most likely to stick around after the GSoC program ended. Our plan is to encourage them to actively participate in discussions and connect with the community throughout the course of GSoC in order to improve their chances of staying on after the summer has ended.

Tor has many open development tasks that are well-suited to summer projects, and also many students who are excited to work on them. As a non-profit organisation we are used to engaging with volunteers for these sorts of standalone projects which then become part of the larger Tor ecosystem. GSoC can help these students work on important new free software work while also paying rent.

We have a structure in place, from our many years of previous participation in GSoC, whereby mentors and mentees check in regularly to ensure that both parties are engaged with the project.

We additionally plan to assign two mentors per student to provide redundancy in case anything goes wrong.

We understand that in order for students to stay on schedule they need to be engaged and invested in their projects, we hope to capitalise on this by picking students who have already demonstrated commitment and/or interest to our community.

As part of the student application process, we will ask students to break down their project into manageable steps, ideally with timelines. This is a pre-requisite first step before any work is started. We will use this timeline to track progress throughout the project.

Tor already has an active community on IRC and the mailing lists, and there's also an active research community of scientists trying to improve security of systems like Tor. We can draw on this community---the current active Tor volunteers as well as the graduate and undergraduate students at the research institutions to engage with our GSoC students.

We have quite a good track record of past GSoC mentees staying on as volunteers and contributing code, some have even ended up becoming core contributors to Tor.
From past experience, the students that were most invested in their project and our development community were the most likely to stick around after the GSoC program ended. Our plan is to encourage them to actively participate in discussions and connect with the community throughout the course of GSoC in order to improve their chances of staying on after the summer has ended.

We participated in GSoC 2007 through 2014. In 2007 we had a pretty successful group of four students. We had one student working on making Tor servers scale better (and not crash!) on Windows, one working on a library and tool to choose paths through the network according to various rules like "cross at most one ocean", one working on a fuzzing library to look for parsing problems (it's found three so far), and one working on a new way to improve scalability and privacy for Tor hidden services. All four passed and have produced useful code. We participated in GSoC 2007 through 2014. In 2007 we had a pretty successful group of four students.

In 2009, we had 5 students to work on Tor, plus 1 more working for The Electronic Frontier Foundation. We had to pick these 6 out of 32 applications, which was a pretty hard process for us. In retrospect, there were at least 2 more students that we'd really have wanted to work on Tor but that we were not able to pick. Fortunately, they stuck with the project anyway, with one writing a neat relay monitor (and who is now our primary gsoc admin!) and one helping reimplement Tor in Java for mobile devices.
