Preemptively because I won't be at the meeting,
- What have you been working on last week that other TBB people should
be aware of?
I made bundles with tor-fw-helper and flash proxy. They worked for some users, but there are questions about port forwardings potentially lasting forever and about the safety of the UPnP and NAT-PMP libraries used by tor-fw-helper. I think the idea is stalled and I'm not planning to do anything more on it unless someone thinks of a different angle.

I made and revised a patch to give pluggable transport binaries access to the OpenSSL DLLs on Windows. Pluggable transports are in a subdirectory so they don't automatically have the same DLLs that tor.exe does. The effect was that programs using M2Crypto (an OpenSSL wrapper) for certificate pinning failed to run, causing a fallback to the less robust flashproxy-reg-http program. I only noticed this bug a couple of weeks ago.

- Do you need anything else from anyone else to help you make progress
or to get something reviewed+merged? If so, what do you need?
I think FTE packaging (as in, the changes to Gitian descriptors) should have a look by someone else and be merged. Kevin and I checked that we matched each other's builds but I didn't look at it further than that.
