Hello,
here is the May 2016 report for SponsorR:
- We organized a small focused hidden service hackfest in Montreal. We
feverishly worked on all things hidden services, and we wrote a blog
summarizing our activities:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/mission-montreal-building-next-generation-onion-services
Enjoy!
- Did tons of testing and bug fixes on our shared randomness system (prop250).
Our implementration has already been reviewed a few times, and it's now
revised and back in needs_review. Exciting stuff!
- Did lots of design work for prop224. See relevant threads and commits in
torspec.git: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-May/010913.html
- Discussed our renaming strategy with "onion services" vs "hidden services":

- Discussed onioncat operation after prop224 gets implemented. It would be nice
to keep on supporting onioncat. It can enable various fun use cases for hidden
services: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-May/010970.html
- Continued mentoring our hidden service GSoC students:

- Defended the network against malicious HSDirs/Relays (the usual monthly
battle...)
