# 2020 Application Form
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Your Details
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are excited to have the opportunity to participate in GSoC for 2020. We have been involved with GSoC since 2007 and have seen the benefits that participating in this program can provide, both for us as a hosting organization and the students themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In recent years, The Tor Project has continued to grow, offering interesting new opportunities for summer projects. We have already had interest from volunteers in getting involved with GSoC this year and expect to attract as many smart students as we have done in previous years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We were disappointed to not have been selected for the past few years and we are determined to submit an exciting new list of projects for 2020.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How many potential mentors have agreed to mentor this year?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1-5
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How will you keep mentors engaged with their students?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each project that we are putting forward this year has been proposed by the mentor as something that they are invested in succeeding. Each of these mentors have been leading his or her own projects related to Tor, and they are the most suited for mentoring students working on those modules. Some of our mentors are actually former GSoC students!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. This year we will also require mentors to check in regulary with the organisation administrator to share progress and ensure that, if there are any issues, these can be solved promptly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We additionally plan to assign two mentors per student to provide redundancy in case anything goes wrong. In general, our chosen mentors are Tor staff or have been working on Tor for multiple years now (and for many of them, it's their full or part time job).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== How will you help your students stay on schedule to complete their projects? ===
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. Further, having multiple mentors per student can hopefully give us a better shot at keeping the students on track.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 will also require our students to write bi-weekly status updates with the community to keep us informed of their progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How will you get your students involved in your community during GSoC?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Background
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Technology tags
|
|
The [Open Observatory of Network
|
|
|
|
Interference](https://ooni.org/) (OONI) is a free software
|
|
|
|
project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in increasing
|
|
|
|
transparency of internet censorship around the world. We develop a
|
|
|
|
software, called [OONI Probe](https://ooni.org/install/),
|
|
|
|
that users can run to measure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
c, python, javascript, rust
|
|
- blocking of websites;
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Topic tags
|
|
- blocking of instant messaging apps (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram);
|
|
|
|
|
|
security, privacy, anonymity, anti-censorship
|
|
- blocking of censorship circumvention tools (such as Tor);
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Ideas list
|
|
- presence of systems (middleboxes) in your network that might be
|
|
|
|
responsible for censorship and/or surveillance;
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Descriptions
|
|
- speed and performance of your network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
_See_ [_https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/org-profile#descriptions_](https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/org-profile#descriptions) _for an example of how these are used._
|
|
By running OONI Probe, users can collect data that can potentially serve
|
|
|
|
as evidence of internet censorship since it shows how, when, where, and
|
|
|
|
by whom it is implemented.

## Organisation Application
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why does your org want to participate in Google Summer of Code?
|
|
*Prerequisites:* Knowledge of network programming.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are excited to have the opportunity to once again participate in Google Summer of Code for 2019. We have been involved with GSoC since 2007 and have seen the benefits that participating in this program can provide, both for us as a hosting organization and the students themselves.
|
|
This project idea is about researching and developing new network
|
|
|
|
experiments to be integrated inside the [OONI Probe
|
|
|
|
CLI](https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/). The candidate
|
|
|
|
will write network measurements code and unit/integration tests for
|
|
|
|
OONI's [measurement
|
|
|
|
engine](https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/tree/master/internal).
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
Here are some issues that candidates could consider for proposing
|
|
|
|
projects:
|
|
|
|
|
|
In recent years, The Tor Project has continued to grow, offering interesting new opportunities for summer projects. We expect to attract as many smart students as we have done in previous years.
|
|
- [im: rewrite using primitives from websteps](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1761)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How will you keep mentors engaged with their students?
|
|
- [test-lists: design prototype gardener for maintaining the
|
|
|
|
lists](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1748)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each project that we are putting forward this year has been proposed by the mentor as something that they are invested in succeeding. Each of these mentors have been leading his or her own projects related to Tor, and they are the most suited for mentoring students working on those modules. Some of our mentors are actually former GSoC students!
|
|
- [tlstool: implement iterative network
|
|
|
|
tracing](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1559)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. This year we will also require mentors to check in regulary with the organisation administrator to share progress and ensure that, if there are any issues, these can be solved promptly.
|
|
- [httphostheader: implement comparison with
|
|
|
|
control](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1560)
|
|
|
|
|
|
We additionally plan to assign two mentors per student to provide redundancy in case anything goes wrong. In general, our chosen mentors are Tor staff or have been working on Tor for multiple years now (and for many of them, it's their full or part time job).
|
|
- [fbmessenger: measure HTTPS endpoints](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1611)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How will you help your students stay on schedule to complete their projects?
|
|
- [ssh: write experiment to detect blocking](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1663)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. Further, having multiple mentors per student can hopefully give us a better shot at keeping the students' on track.
|
|
- [middlebox: HTTP PURGE middle box detection](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1671)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
- [whatsapp: measure WebSocket endpoints](https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1587)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
### Resources
|
|
|
|
|
|
We will also require our students to write bi-weekly status updates with the community to keep us informed of their progress.

|
- [A brief introduction to OONI](https://ooni.org/post/brief-introduction-to-ooni/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How will you get your students involved in your community during GSoC?
|
|
- The [ooni/probe-cli](https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli) repository at GitHub
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
- The [ooni/spec](https://github.com/ooni/spec) repository at GitHub
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
- [Tutorials on writing new experiments](https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli/tree/master/internal/tutorial)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further, we require our students to introduce themselves to the community, and to make periodic status reports available in a public format.

|
|
|
|
### How will you keep students involved with your community after GSoC?
|
|
## 3. **OONI Probe CLI Improvements**
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
Mentor: Simone
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
### Background
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Has your org been accepted as a mentor org in Google Summer of Code before?
|
|
The [Open Observatory of Network Interference](https://ooni.org/) (OONI) is a free software
|
|
|
|
project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in increasing
|
|
|
|
transparency of internet censorship around the world. We develop a
|
|
|
|
software, called [OONI Probe](https://ooni.org/install/),
|
|
|
|
that users can run to measure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes.
|
|
- blocking of websites;
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Years
|
|
- blocking of instant messaging apps (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram);
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017
|
|
- blocking of censorship circumvention tools (such as Tor);
|
|
|
|
|
|
### For each year your organization has participated, provide the counts of successful and total students. (e.g. 2016: 3/4)
|
|
- presence of systems (middleboxes) in your network that might be
|
|
|
|
responsible for censorship and/or surveillance;
|
|
|
|
|
|
2007: 4/4 2008: 4/7 2009: 5/6 2010: 5/6 2011: 7/7 2012: 5/6 2013: 6/7 2014: 9/13 2016: 5/7 2017: 4/4
|
|
- speed and performance of your network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### If your org has applied for GSoC before but not been accepted, select the years:
|
|
By running OONI Probe, users can collect data that can potentially serve
|
|
|
|
as evidence of internet censorship since it shows how, when, where, and
|
|
|
|
by whom it is implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018 and 2015

|
|
|
2002
|
|
This project idea is about implementing improvements in the [OONI Probe
|
|
|
|
CLI](https://github.com/ooni/probe-cli). The candidate will
|
|
|
|
research how to implement improvements, refactor existing code, extend
|
|
|
|
or rewrite existing functionality, and write unit/integration tests for
|
|
|
|
the CLI.

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.

The 2008 GSoC was a success, too. One of our successful GSoC 2008 students has written a nice blog post reviewing how GSoC went for him, for the other students, and for the project in general: <https://blog.torproject.org/blog/google-summer-code-2008-review>

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. We wrote a wrap-up report how GSoC 2009 went for us here: <https://blog.torproject.org/blog/gsoc-wrapup-2009>

In 2010 we had 4 students work on Tor and 2 more with the EFF. Unfortunately one disappeared shortly after being accepted, but all the rest were successful and greatly benefited the projects they worked on (jtor, soat, torbel, metrics, and switzerland). A couple of these students also wrote blog posts summarizing their summer:

## What criteria did you use to select your mentors for this year's program? Please be as specific as possible.
|
|
As part of this project you would help us to improve OONI Explorer.
|
|
|
|
Specifically you will work on improving the OONI Explorer country pages
|
|
|
|
to enrich them with data coming from new experiments and make use of new
|
|
|
|
backend API calls to display more rich information about blocking.
|
|
|
|
Moreover this work will entail modernizing the code base, improving the
|
|
|
|
user interface, fixing usability issues, and writing more
|
|
|
|
unit/integration tests.
|
|
|

Seth Schoen, Peter Eckersley, and Micah Lee, and Dan Auerbach are EFF Staff as listed on <http://www.eff.org/about/staff>. The remaining individuals have each worked with Tor, most of them for several years, and most of them are in the "core development team" listed on <https://www.torproject.org/about/corepeople>. Each individual has been leading his or her own projects related to Tor, and they are the most suited for mentoring students working on those modules. Note that five of our mentors and two of our admins are former GSoC students.

## What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?
|
|
- [A brief introduction to OONI](https://ooni.org/post/brief-introduction-to-ooni/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
We hope to minimize the chances of disappearing students by picking students who have already demonstrated commitment and/or interest to our community. Further, having multiple mentors per student can hopefully give us a better shot at keeping the students' interest.
|
|
- The [ooni/explorer](https://github.com/ooni/explorer) repository at GitHub
|
|
|
|
|
|
We want to learn about disappearing students as early as possible. Therefore, we are planning to require our students to write bi-weekly status updates to keep us informed of their progress.

## What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?
|
|
- Open issues: [https://github.com/ooni/explorer/issues](https://github.com/ooni/explorer/issues)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our plan is to assign two mentors per student to provide redundancy in case anything goes wrong. In general, our chosen mentors are EFF's staff or have been working on Tor for multiple years now (and for many of them, it's their full or part time job), so they're unlikely to just disappear.

|
|
|
|
|
|
## What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before and during the program?
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. Further, we require our students to introduce themselves to the community, and to make periodic status reports available in a public format.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What will you do to encourage that your accepted students stick with the project after Google Summer of Code concludes?
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
In past years the students that stuck around afterward were the ones most invested in their project and our development community. We plan to encourage them to actively participate in discussions and connect with the community to improve their chances of staying on after the summer has ended. |
