- Nos oignons --- Two talks and a first relay --------------------------
=========================================================== 2013-07-02 =
This year's Toulouse Hacker Space Factory [1] was the very first
opportunity to introduce the project Nos Oignons to a live audience.
>From attendees who were hearing about Tor for the first time to those
who already run relays, all were supportive of our will to enhance Tor
usability. The recording is available for those who understand French
and would like to understand what motivates Nos Oignons.
We did it again a month later during Pas Sage En Seine [2]. One evening
during the conference, four out of five members of the advisory board
were in the same room, something that have never happened before!

We are currently doing the necessary tests with the first relay [3] of
Nos Oignons, hosted by Liazo [4].
The first server [5,6] that was given to us unfortunately revealed
itself too constrained to relay more than 25 Mbit/s [7] (a quarter of
the current network capacity).
We are actively working on a replacement.
The relay is not yet an exit node: we still need to complete the
paperwork to get phone and fax lines. Then we will be able to get our
own entry in the RIPE [8] database. This should happen soon.
For the month we have been collecting donations and subscriptions, we
already got 1,000€! If we substract other costs, it is enough to cover 4
months of this first relay.

[8] https://www.ripe.net/torservers.net [9] has just started a crowdfunding operation [10] to
collect donations for several organizations similar to Nos Oignons.
Spread the word!

To make monetary contributions [11] to Nos Oignons, we continue to accept
credit cards and we can now accept direct wire transferts. A 100 Mbit/s
relay has 100 times the capacity of the relay on a ADSL line for a cost
than is 10 times inferior. Every donation helps!

Meeting [12], July 6-11, 2013 in Brussels and at the OHM camp [13], July
