Hello!
Last Tuesday we held our weekly Tor Browser Team meeting (we rescheduled it from Monday due to a bank holiday in the US).
Here are the meeting notes: http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2019/tor-meeting2.2019-11-12-18.34.lo...
Most the the meeting was spent discussing our triaging processes. We also (temporarily) moved our meeting pad onto pad.riseup.net until nc (nextcloud) is a viable alternative.
Weekly updates:
