The Tor Project and Tor community is going to be gathering online from June 27th to July 1st this year for a 5 days hackweek.

This is a call for projects for whoever wants to participate, put together a team and hack through that last week of June with us. In the context of this hackweek, a project is anything related to Tor that you can work with other people in 5 days. It could be a coding project or something to analyze data but it could also be a cartoon or anything that do not necesary requires coding skills. You will work on this project during 5 days with other people in your team. At the end we are going to have a demo in a Big Blue Button’s room where your team will present the work you did through the week.

This will be the timeline for the hackweek:

  • Send hackweek project proposals to this portal: https://hackweek.onionize.space/hackweek/. Before hackweek begins, start looking for other people to join your team. People will also have the opportunity to join your team on Monday when the hackweek begins.

  • Monday, June 27th: Hackweek begins. The liaisons for each project will present their projects in a BBB room. By this time, you should have a few members of your team already identified.

  • Hack hack hack hack… in whatever way you organize yourself. We will have room #tor in irc.oftc.net to discuss general hack week things.

  • Friday, July 1st: Hackweek ends. Each team presents the work at 16UTC in the same BBB room.

List of projects proposed:

Each project has a pad with all the information about it as well as how to join.

Update on June 27th: Adding link to where the presentation of projects will be and the list of projects right before the hackweek starts.

Sure. On Monday (27th June) we will have a Big Blue Button call (the link will be shared beforehand) where all project liaisons will present their projects - details about the project, skills required, goals of the project, etc. According to your interests you can then join a team and the teams will work on their projects throughout the week. On Friday, each team will then present their work concluding the hackweek.

You can a see a list of projects that have been proposed on the URL I shared earlier. Do have a look and see which one of them you will be interested to work on during the hackweek.

For any other updates, I recommend watching this space. I hope that helps!
