<h2 id="tdpseeksfundingsupport">TDP Seeks Funding Support</h2>
<p><strong>The Tor BSD Diversity Project</strong> is looking for support through grants, hardware donations or other mediums.</p>
<p><strong>TDP</strong> launched in March 2015, and works to strengthen the Tor public anonymity network by increasing operating system diversity with the BSD Unix.</p>
<p>Since our beginnings, <strong>TDP</strong> successfully achieved a number of significant milestones:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>developed Tor Browser for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/">OpenBSD</a>, which now resides in -current and -stable ports trees, and are embarking on porting <a href="https://github.com/torbsd/freebsd-ports">Tor Browser to FreeBSD</a></p></li>
<li><p>conducted successful presentations at <a href="https://www.bsdcan.org/2016/">BSDCan 2016</a>, <a href="https://www.bsdcan.org/2015/">BSDCan 2015</a> and <a href="http://2015.bsdcon.com.br/">BSDCon Brazil</a>, engaging with scores of individuals about <strong>TDP</strong> and the critical importance of involving *BSD users and developers in Tor ecosystem</p></li>
<li><p>our advocacy efforts made Brazil a country of one periodic public BSD Tor relay to about a fifth of the relays, accounting for up to a third of public Tor bandwidth in that country*</p></li>
<li><p>enlisted <a href="https://www.nyi.net/">New York Internet</a> to donate two high-bandwidth public relays at its facility in Bridgewater, New Jersey, with the aim of replicating Mozilla’s roll-out of Tor relays among firms that employ the *BSDs</p></li>
<li><p>started a variety of documentation for building Tor relays on FreeBSD and OpenBSD</p></li>
<li><p>created an open source <a href="https://github.com/torbsd/tdp-onion-stats">shell-based tool</a> for generating Tor network statistics</p></li>
<li><p><a href="porting-pets.html">documented an array of common PETs</a>–privacy-enhancing technologies–and their status in the various BSD ports systems, encouraging BSD port developers to approach and investigate their adoption</p></li>
<li><p>In January 2013, under 4% of public Tor relays were running a BSD Unix, while today the number hovers over the 5% range. While we can’t directly attribute it to <strong>TDP</strong>, we believe our development and advocacy work impacted this change.</p></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>TDP</strong> already has a proven track record as a project. But <strong>TDP</strong> wants to do more. Each and every one of our accomplishments is only a first step in a larger set of goals.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>we want to keep Tor Browser on OpenBSD updated on its -stable release</p></li>
<li><p>we want to coordinate efforts to port Tor Browser to other BSDs, with FreeBSD the current target</p></li>
<li><p>we want to push some of our code changes upstream into the Tor Project and even Mozilla</p></li>
<li><p>we want to conduct more presentations, birds-of-feather sessions and public meetings about <strong>TDP</strong> including a public presentations and Tor relay installfests</p></li>
<li><p>we want to target more potential Tor relay operators in countries with few or no relays through our contacts in the *BSD community. BSDCons in places like East Asia and Latin America are events in areas with low numbers of Tor relays</p></li>
<li><p>we want to enlist more BSD-using firms to run high-bandwidth Tor relays, employing our networks of contacts around the community</p></li>
<li><p>we want our relay guides to be production ready, and translated to languages beyond English, particularly into those common in countries with low relay counts</p></li>
<li><p>we want to port more PETs applications to the BSDs, and to facilitate others to join the efforts, particularly with significant ports like obfsproxy missing from OpenBSD</p></li>
<li><p>most vitally, we want to enlist more BSD developers into <strong>TDP’s</strong> efforts, which has already begun</p></li>
</ul>
<p>We aren’t limiting <strong>TDP</strong> to those goals. <strong>TDP</strong> is a dynamic project aiming to adjust to any opportunity to strengthen the Tor network. <strong>TDP</strong> has a track record and a trajectory of moving forward. </p>
<p><strong>TDP</strong> is proud of the accomplishments so far, but more resources are needed to grow and deepen the project.</p>
<p>Please contact <strong>TDP</strong> if interested in assisting our efforts to allow us to continue the current objectives, and to expand them. </p>
