[tor-reports] Andrew's August 2012

[Andrew Lewman]

# Top 5 things I did in August 2012

 1. Responded to a flood of press calls about the scary "dark web".
 Educated reporters on the deep web and explained that anything behind
 a login prompt counts as the deep web. Just because Internet search
 engines cannot crawl it easilyt, doesn't mean it is "dark and
 scary". This includes Tor hidden services. PBS Marketplace, CBS,
 McCleans, and others did stories. Our media page is generally at
 https://www.torproject.org/press/inthemedia.html.en.

 2. Helped Karen write two major proposals for 2-3 years of funding, if
 awarded to us.

 3. Worked on 2013 budget with Melissa.

 4. Talked to legal advisors about exit relay funding and logistics,
 liabilities, and risks of this project.

 5. Talked to legal advisors about using our registered trademark to
 play whack-a-mole with this growing list of fake torbrowser creators.

# Top 5 things to do in September 2012

 1. Write blog post about fake tor software.
