Re: [tor-relays] Launch of new Tor Weather service
Hi
I've hacked together a little script [0] for those of us with many
relays that don't want to wait till issue #17 / #55 are resolved. [1]

Hello everyone!
As indicated on the last relay operator meetup we were close to
re-launching the Tor Weather service. Now, after fixing a bunch of
last-minute issues and double-checking everything is working we can
finally announce that the newly designed Tor Weather service is ready
for public usage.
Feel free to try it out at https://weather.torproject.org and help
improving it!
For those not knowing what this service is about: Tor Weather is
offering subscriptions to keep track of the well-being of relays.
Right now, after registering an account, one can get an e-mail
notification in case a relay goes down or loses some flags or goes
below a certain amount of observed bandwidth. The idea is to help
operators in managing their relays that way and showing them their
contribution to our project is much appreciated.
There a many more things we can potentially offer subscriptions for,
like getting notifications for upcoming relay operator meetups, having
earned a Tor t-shirt, new relay requirements, running outdated Tor
versions... You can find a current list of ideas in our bug
tracker[1]; feel free to add missing ones and pick up issues to work
on. This is a free software project after all. :)
We see Tor Weather as an investment into our relay operator community
and think it will be useful in the future to help growing and
strengthening our community, which is very exciting.
Finally, I'd like to give a big shout-out to Sarthik Gupta who did all
the heavy-lifting and re-wrote Tor Weather during last years' Google
Summer of Code and keeps improving it. Additionally, kez from our
sysadmin team was invaluable in getting all the different pieces set
up and running on our infrastructure.
Thanks as well to all the volunteers, like nusenu, who contributed
with ideas and feedback over the years which convinced us that Tor
Weather is a worthwhile tool to invest time and energy in again.
Georg
