Hmmm, think I'll start providing blog links. Between images and links
they're a lot nicer than plaintext reports...

None the less if ya just want text here ya go!
======================================================================
Eeek I'm late! Wanted to get the PyCon trip report out first but...
ok, maybe I went a tad overboard there. Oh well, better late than
never. Between summer festivals and health issues tor took the back
seat again this month but still some neat stuff...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PyCon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably wrote way too much on this already so I'll spare ya. If
you haven't skimmed the report yet then check it out - PyCon was
a neat event!

Nyx Event Selection Dialog
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember arm's bizarre and clumsy event selection dialog [1]?
Remember how confusing it was?

Yeah, it sucked. Sambuddha and I have been tossing pull requests
back and forth all month as part of his GSoC project. This is
requiring a lot of my direct involvement but oh well, the new
dialog has turned out nicely!

Few other noteworthy things...
* Thanks to Peter DocTor moved to an IPv6 host this month [2],
allowing me to expand it to check DirAuth ORPort reachability [3].
* DocTor now monitors the reachability of tor's fallback directories. [4]
* Stem's tutorials now show how to reuse the *.onion address for
an ephemeral hidden service. [5]
That's all. Happy hacking! -Damian
