As part of my new role as Tor's Research Janitor, I'm a bit more
detached from the network team, but still working with them, and also
working more with several other teams. Isa suggested that I write
monthly progress reports here instead of at all those meetings. This
seems reasonable to me. The meeting fatigue struggle is real.
Planned for January:
- Congestion control review
- Mozilla All Hands meeting in Berlin
- Research Janitor role description draft + review
- Metrics roadmap planning assistance
Actually did in January:
- Read a shit-ton about the congestion control history of TCP and Tor
- Wrote this epic mail about congestion control options for Tor:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2020-January/014140.html
- Attended the Mozilla All Hands meeting in Berlin
- Reviewed Cecylia's snowflake traffic analysis mail
- Brainstormed Research Janitor roles, discussed them with folks
- Started planning the Research Janitor's 2020 Goals
- Helped roadmap the metrics team's onionperf improvements
- Worked on cleaning up metrics to analyze Rob's relay experiment:

(thread)
February plans:
- More metrics + graph analysis for Rob's experiment
- Iterate on sbws eval metrics + graphs w/ Karsten
- Funding proposal assistance
- Tor Performance Pipeline R&D migration to gitlab
Blockers:
- Nothing stands in my way!
At Risk of Dropping:
- Fixing circpad bugs that impact external padding research
- Various mails about circuit padding docs + research options
