Hello everyone,
We held our weekly meeting yesterday. The meeting log is available at http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2020/tor-meeting2.2020-03-09-18.30.lo...
During this meeting we had a few discussion items, but in summary:
1) Tor Browser weekly meetings will now take place at 18:00 UTC in #tor-meeting2 beginning next week.
2) We tried releasing the Alpha series every two weeks, but it was too much of a burden on the team. As a result, we're planning on releasing Alpha updates on the same cycle as Stable for the next few months.
3) The Tor Browser team will meet at a new time beginning next Monday. The meeting will be held in #tor-meeting2, as we do currently, but we will meet at 18:00 UTC.
4) During the Sponsor 27 meeting today, we will discuss ticket #13410 and how we should proceed with regards to S.O.O.C. [SOOC].

sisbell: Last Week: - #33557: Update Android Toolchain for Fenix (in review) - #33556: TBB for android-components. This went well. I need to figure out some issues surrounding the local maven repo - #33184: Support for Fenix - have tbb build working with network enabled. Needs some work in local maven repo (same as #33556) - Opened various fenix related issues for tracking. This Week - I mostly worked on fenix last week. I’ll be focusing more on android tor related work this coming week. - #28765: LibEvent: make small change to handle all platforms - Fenix work: resolve local maven repo issues to get fenix and android-components projects building with cached artifacts. This does not yet involve integration with tor related projects. - #33565/#33564 - get lzma and zstd working with latest Android NDK. Starting with these because I expect they will be easiest to setup to verify how to use new toolchain.
