== Stuff to do every week =
* Let's check and update the roadmap. What's done, and what's coming up?
url to roadmap: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ufrun1khEo5Cwd6OwngERn829wU3W3eskdrr...
* Check reviewer assignments at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ufrun1khEo5Cwd6OwngERn829wU3W3eskdrr...
* Also, let's check for things we need update on our spreadsheet! Are there important documents we should link to? Things we should archive?
* Check rotations at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TeamRota...
* Community guides, it's time to hand off to the next guide!
* Let's look at proposed tickets! [but see discussion] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=as...
== Announcements ==
* 035 triage has happened; we may need another round, though. * HOPE is this week; some folks are (or will be) offline. * PETS is next week; some folks will be away.
== Reminders ==
* Remember to "/me status: foo" at least once daily. * Remember that our current code reviews should be done by end-of-week. * Make sure you are in touch with everybody with whom you are doing work for the next releases
== Discussion ==
* Should we schedule meetings for these? * Discuss prop 295 (New crypto from Tomer Ashur et al) {actually, let's see what we think after Tuesday's patch-party time.} * Revise roadmap to match current staffing. * 035-roadmap-proposed items (Backlog seems significant-ish)
* Shall we just use the same pad, week after week, rather than creating a new one each week? teor: works for me, but how do we get rid of old content? dmr: can just move it below, or delete it (tbb-team just moves it below) asn: reasonable idea! (if this software had tabs we could even make a new tab for each meeting) ahf: Cool with me. I think we made a new one out of concern for vandalism? dgoulet: I don't mind but lets remember that Riseup pad expire so as long as we send the report regurlarly on tor-dev@, I'm ok! dmr: I think as long as the pad is constantly used, it won't expire
== Updates ==
Nick: * Last week: * Merged a bunch of merge-ready stuff * Reviewed SOCKS refactor/trunnel patch from rl1987 again; added fuzzing support to test it. * Finished some post-refactoring cleanup work. * Released 0.3.3.8 and 0.3.4.4-rc * Cleared through my fast-fix items for 0.3.5 * Helped find and diagnose an apparent configuration bug in sid's clang that was making some clang jenkins builds fail. * Wrote up first draft of templates for announcements * Experimented with porting tor crypto to NSS. Some progress made; digest and rand are ported.
