== 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!
== Announcements ==
* Let nickm know asap if there are problems with the releases in https://people.torproject.org/~nickm/volatile/src/ , or else he will release them.
* Remember that 035 triage is in progress. I plan that on Wednesday I will remove all the stuff that isn't included for some reason. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TicketTr...
* I have 3 points on my update that are reminders for all the team (isa)
== 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 release! * The git master branch is now 0.3.5!
== Discussion ==
* I've marked 0.3.5 as an LTS release. Can we restrict the configurations in which it's LTS? For example, I would like to say that there will be no Rust-LTS until our rust support is farther along. -nm

teor (offline): last week: - Tried to work out whether the sbws bandwidth measurements are ok https://github.com/pastly/simple-bw-scanner/issues/182#issuecomment-40324885... - Fixed 1/3 of an onion service ed25519 id mismatch bug https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26627#comment:8 - Planning for PrivCount in Tor https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/PrivCoun... - Bwauth code reviews, let's watch out for scope creep - Caught up with some backlogs - Minor setup tasks - Personal stuff this week: - Finish PrivCount in Tor blinding and secret sharing branch nickm: what is the status of your PrivCount blinding rust branch?

Let's talk about next steps soon?) - Implement PrivCount in Tor noise - Work on a per-relay / per-consensus / per-counter noise spec for PrivCount in Tor - Reduce my review and revision backlogs - Book Mexico travel (well, maybe the week after)

catalyst: last week (2018-W27):
- coverity rotation -- nothing new (but just noticed that last build was dated Jun 24) [ahf: yeah, i'd very much like this to be rerun to see how many things were fixed] [I will debug post-meeting -nm]
- github org consolidation discussions - CC stuff - looked a bit at #26376 (cross compiling docs) - travel bureaucracy - continued dealing with flaky internet access this week (2018-W28): - community guide rotation - code reviews - follow up on github org consolidation stuff and related documentation - make some progress on s8 stuff with ahf and asn
ahf Last week: Sponsor 8: - Dusted off some of the old shell scripts I made during the sponsor 4 period for memory profiling of new compression algorithms which can be reused for s8 (bug #26630) - Checked if gprof and Android's simpleperf yieled similar results on 64-bit desktop and 64-bit arm device. Looks OK. Misc: - Reviewed #24546. - Progress on MacOS/Seatbelt Sandbox refactoring in #26374. - More Windows OS studying. This week: Sponsor 8: - Continue profiling work in the early parts of the week (#26630). - Back to PT error reporting (#25502). Misc: - Book flights to Mexico. - Still have a backlog of Coverity issues from week #25 I need to fix. - Promised to help out with some additional triage last week, wasn't useful at all here and not very productive at all late Thursday and Friday. Nickm: Did you do what you wanted to do here or can I still be of help? [I think I'm okay, but I wouldn't mind help when it comes time to do the next step. For now, just remember to do the triaging stuff described at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TicketTr... ] - Look at Isa's S8 reporting.
dgoulet: Last week: - Reviewed nickm's refactoring tickets as they were coming in. - 035 ticket triage. - Failed to resolve #26300 ... I've attempted to reproduce it in chutney considering what we know now but unsuccessful. - Most of my time was in review world, very little bug squashing. This week: - I will attack big roadmap items now that the refactoring has settled a bit for now and code base won't move much. I'm thinking memory profiling and Authenticated SENDMEs probably (#26288). - Ideally, I want to bring #20700 to a mergeable state. Will sync with haxxpop. - Will work on HOPE slide (shouldn't be too long but still need to produce 5-10).
haxxpop: Last week: - Revise some code in the PR This week: - Continue revising the code. So sad, currently I have so little free time :( asn: Last week: - Reviewed #21349, #26269. - Triaged 035 tickets. - Feedback in #4700 - Did some debugging on #26627. This week: - Help isa with onion proposal. - Get up to date with 035 deliverables. mike: what is there to do in vanguard land now? you want me to help with writing blog post? catalyst/ahf: anything new in s8 #22266/#25502 land? how can i help here?
isabela: - sponsor 8 Q2 report (need help collecting information about work done in April, May and June - here is our pad for it: https://storm.torproject.org/shared/b9rOzSr3fIWLG11DCb9QXDwkUDfJJWUJ1NZQ_qHt... ) - onion services full proposal - will kick off the work this week and hope to finish it before hope - catalyst and dgoulet and teor worked on the survey I sent to the team - please look at their answers and make sure you are good with it. The surveys will be used to build a process/guidelines for tor to use github that meets all teams needs.
