Notes for October 19 2017 meeting:
Georg: 1) Preparing Tor Browser 7.0.7 and 7.5a6 with the updated donation campaign code 2) Working on getting the roadmap updated with all the team dependencies
Nick: 0) What a great meeting! 1) Internews PT meeting on monday/tuesday seemed to go okay; I think they're likely to adopt practices resulting in convergence on a stable PT 2.x design. 2) Probably not here today; after 9 days of meetings, I need a break. 3) Network team did a draft roadmap. We included items that depend on, or that will affect, other teams.
Arturo: 1) Published a report on censorship in Pakistan in collaboration with Bytes for All: https://ooni.torproject.org/post/pakistan-internet-censorship/ 2) We are migrating our email from runbox to GSuite 3) Updated 4 tests lists: https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/241, https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/242 4) We are going to publish tomorrow a blog post about the OONI team gathering 5) Started experimenting with gatsby and contentful for revamping our website: https://github.com/openobservatory/ooni-website/tree/gatsby, found a bunch of bugs in gatsby, may not end up using it. 6) Created a repository containing licenses for OONI software: https://github.com/openobservatory/legal. Does anybody know some good friendly lawyers we could reach out to regarding the licensing of data? 7) Began adding support for the new OONI API to OONI Explorer: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-explorer/pull/119 8) Following discussion with metrics and TBB teams we started adding support for extracting tor related metrics inside of ooni-pipeline: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-pipeline/pull/98 9) My interview for an Italian TV program is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDZNqYiiYfo. I also explain what Tor is and how it works. (retweet if you wish: https://twitter.com/OpenObservatory/status/920941902408626178) 10) Making some progress on OONI Probe 3.0: https://github.com/OpenObservatory/ooniprobe-cli 11) The deployment process of our website has levelled up. When a branch is merged into master, travis will automatically build it and push it to staging. Deploying it is then just a matter of running a simple script (this could be improved)
