# Roger's roadmap
## 2023 Objectives
O1, Outreach: increase *awareness* and *appreciation* for Tor, with a focus on *existential threats* i.e. things that could make it hard for Tor to exist or succeed in the coming years.
O2, Community: increase, support, and empower *participation* in Tor.
O3, Sponsors: Help with funded projects and support Tor teams in accomplishing their goals.

### Stretch goals that would be nice to fit in to 2023 but that realistically might get crowded out when something else catches on fire, so I am listing them here so they don't get forgotten but I am not putting them on the 2023 roadmap:
* Bermuda work: Bad-relay monitoring and tooling to help the network
health team (S112). Maintain bermuda, and implement requested new
features. [O3]
* License mapping: Internal free software license mapping, audit,
and decision tree. [O2]
* Core Contributor support: Help assess and reform our "core contributor"
idea. Either help keep it moving forward or help change it. Maybe, do
another 'core contributor' membership iteration, to remove the people who
have gone away in the past couple of years (last iteration was Sep/Oct 2021) [O2]
* AnonBib refresh: Update anonbib with 2021-2023 papers. Introduce best
ones to Pavel and comms@ so we can highlight them to our community,
reward people doing useful Tor research, and have proactive and positive
news to tell our audiences. [O1/O2]
* Sign up to do Tor presentations at FBI/DoJ/DEA/etc events. [O1]
