asn:

This week: - Prepared skeleton implementation of prop224 client-side desc fetching #21403. Code needs more tests, docs, beauty. - Put #22006 in needs_review after addressing Yawning's review. - Revised the e2e #21859 branch based on David's comments. It's now ready to be integrated to the larger service-side branch. - Tested the TROVE-2017-002 patch and confirmed it fixes the bug. - Posted a plausible theory in #21969 about what the bug could be (see last comment). - Did some SponsorR bookkeeping

Next week:

- More work on client-side descriptor fetching/caching #21403. - More work on #21969. - More work on guard discovery stuff.

komlo: - Last week

- Finished protover_compute_vote, getting closer to a full protover Rust implementation

- Helped out with #21846

- This week

- Continue protover Rust implementation (hopefully should be done soon)

- Look into overriding CString to use malloc and free

Mike: Last week: - Reviewed on netflow testing ticket issues - Worked with Isabela and Isis on Bridge discovery plans + UX - Concerned about Guard discovery hackfest This Week: - Reviewing bootstrap doc - Planning lots of travel - Padding

catalyst:

- Last week

* [Coverity] #22221 (CID 1405983) fixed dead code in tests by swapping two loops

* [Coverity] #22231 (CID 1397192) an old issue that i figured out the underlying problem for

* found that a Linux VM with 2GB RAM seems to make --enable-fragile-hardening behave

better in the test suite; was previously getting OOM-killed in

slow/crypto/s2k_pbkdf2

* [sponsorM] my obfs4 boostrap failures probably related to #21969 and

directory guard stuff. added some comments and uploaded a log.

* [sponsorM] reviewing nickm's writeup about bootstrap state modeling; also correspondence with Linda

draft at https://pad.riseup.net/p/OroadsO1qBgA

* [sponsorM] reproduced jump-to-80% on Linux with obfs4 and existing

state. also some 120 second timeout before giving up on a down

bridge? maybe this should be shorter?

* [sponsorM] opened #22232 to gather info about how Tor Launcher uses

the control channel; also read some of the Tor Launcher implementation and have some confirmation that it uses the raw progress/phase numbers as percent completion on the progress bar

- This week

* draft a wiki page with a high-level overview of the bootstrapping process (#22265)

* outline some incremental changes to bootstrap progress reporting that can make a large UX improvement

* look some more into #21969

* bug triage
