[tor-project] Rhatto's Monthly Status Report, April 2023

Hi all :slight_smile:

This is my monthly status report for April 2023 with the main activities I
have done during the period.

## 0. Research

* Onion Plan session in Costa Rica:
  * Slides and notes:
    Wiki · The Tor Project / Organization · GitLab

  * Issue:
    Onion Plan Session at the 2023 Costa Rica in-person meeting (#7) · Issues · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Plan · GitLab

  * I'd like to thank everyone that attended the session and also those who
    gave valuable feedback :slight_smile:

* Onion Plan updates: while preparing to the session, I made a number of
  updates, but there's still many things in the TODO list.
  * Website:
    The Onion Plan

  * Recent changes:
    Activity · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Plan · GitLab

* Onion-Location: problems and fixes session in Costa Rica:
  * Helped with note taking and with the discussion:
    Wiki · The Tor Project / Organization · GitLab

## 1. Development

* Onionprobe: 1.1.0 and 1.1.1 releases:
  ChangeLog.md · main · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onionprobe · GitLab

* Helped with the internal Security Policy Session at the Tor In-person
  meeting.

## 2. Support

* For the Community Day in Costa Rica,
  * I helped writing the `cebollitas` project, with some small Onion Services
    examples currently based on Docker:
    The Tor Project / Onion Services / Cebollitas · GitLab

  * We had a nice workshop about setting up Onion Services and we did a small
    exercise about how a very basic distributed chat system could work. It was
    just people writing messages on HTML files and refreshing each other Onion
    Service tabs on their browsers, but was enough to teach the mechanics and let
    people know how the technology can easily enable them to send content without
    having to run a centralized service.

  * We collected feedback about how to improve the workshop and also how
    deploying and developing system with Onion Services technology could
    be made easier.

## 3. Organization

Time spent (from the total available for Tor-related work):

Category | Percentage
---------------|------------
Research | 19
Development | 7
Support | 17
Organization | 57
---------------|------------
Total | 100

(Despite lot's of research, development and support, the Costa Rica meeting
made me track most of my time as "organization" work).
