taylor: (I believe this is the week that Taylor is moving. Let's all wish them an easy relocation! -nickm)
asn Last week: - Wrote patch for #22735. Found and fixed some bad bugs on #20657 while writing this patch. - Wrote code and tests for #22940. - Continued review and testing of #20657. Found some more issues, particularly regarding the overlap mode and descriptor rotation logic. - Reviewed #22895 and #22979. - Did some hackerone bug triaging since we publicly launched our bug bounty campaign. This week: - Mod HS circuitmap to be used by client side prop224 for RP circs. - Continue reviewing and testing of service-side #20657. Find and fix more bugs, and hopefully move it towards upstream merge. - Start reviewing David's client-side code. - We are approaching prop224 merge time, so do any other prop224 action items that must happen.
nickm: Last week: - PETS. Had good convesations about . A couple of interesting attack papers . anti-fingerprinting research . traffic padding . The research safety board . I2P . getting large patches/add-ons deployed This week: . Review, merge, bugfix. :( . Document, specify :(
. Work on guard stuff, measurement, trace stuff. (dgoulet: lttng advice? Also I should coordinate with teor)
. Enter sadly delayed sponsor8 items from meeting with ahf onto bugtracker so I can't forget
ahf (might be missing the start of the meeting): Last week: Sponsor 8: - Up and running with Android development environment for Orbot + Core Tor. - Up and running with Android power measurement via their dodgy Python scripts (on a nexus 5x). - Met with a friend in Copenhagen to get a fast walkthrough of the Android environment. Misc: - Did a talk on Tor at TheCamp.dk.
This week: - Document Sponsor 8 development environment with Android on trac wiki. - Figure out how we can collect measurement on Android about battery/CPU usage where we have "fast" test-to-result times. - Create tickets for sponsor8. - Look into our wake-ups on an Android device. - Figure out how much we can measure CPU wake-ups/network via the Android simulator.
Things I could need help with: - Find Nick + Catalyst's pad/log about control port enhancements (URL?) - Need to figure out what functions in core tor that does network activity on timers.
dgoulet: Last week: - Massive amount of prop224. Addressing asn's review of #20657 - Mostly coding #17242. - Prop224 is now closer to reality where we had our first client<->service connection yesterday ;). The whole chain has been glued together and is working! This week: - Finalize #17242 (client code) so we can test the whole stack more thoroughly. - Need to make a branch that contains it all for arma so he can showcase it at our *last* final sponsor R meeting and then two days later to Defcon. - Basically, expect me to only focus on prop224 so we can reach our deadline goal and start merging more and more upstream.
komlo (not online): - I am starting my new job this week (!!), so will pick up more tor work next week
pastly (also attending meeting in #tor-project for people who provide support): - Measuring latency in Tor seems to be going well. Reimplemented Ting all last week. - Now that Rob is back from PETS, will discuss how to update KIST tickets.
Mike: Last week: - PETS - Met with Matt Wright, Marc Juarez, Moshen Imani, Nick, Roger about prop254 - Discussed potential issues with flow control and other planned histogram changes - Worked with Matt on outline of stuff for Sponsor2 report. (He will be submitting it.) This week: - Catch up on mail and other things since PETS - Flesh out details for Sponsor2 report; send them to Matt - Work on torrc options for Prop247 prototype (#13837) - Help with Tor Browser interview process
Isabela: Last week: - PETS - Finished the modularization proposal - submitting as we meet (today, cuz we were waiting to hear back from Laura on a question related to the submission form) This week: - NSF reports! help organize that for arma (Mike already created a plan for sponsor2 one while at PETS) - We got sponsor8 contract!! I will get you more info as we figure out if we want our start date to be August 1st or later - July is ending and I wonder if we are closing the deliverable for sponsor 4 - I sent an email to try to create a backup person plan for vacation season - sent to tor-internal.
isis: last week: - sending out emails for internship and getting things set up for them - discussions about differences in signatures #16562 - upgraded bridgedb server to Debian 9 and recalibrated the CI #22998 - did some thinking about potential security implications of not having random payloads in drop cells #22948 - revised tor.git travis CI configs #22636 - looked into dependency libraries for intern project this week: - revise captcha server for moat according to review/specs #15967 - get the bridge bandwidth scanner project rolling
