hiro: (2019-08-29)(gettor days are Thursday - snippets https://dip.torproject.org/snippets) - Add script to update download endpoints from gettor VM: https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/gettor/blob/master/scr... - Configure github and gitlab so that getulum can push - Add script to export stats in CSV: https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/gettor/blob/master/scr... - Delete old gettor instances on gettor VM - gettor should use ansible for deployment and updates: started coding recipes

Next week - use archive.org as new distribution endpoint: upload files to archive.org - review specs: are specs up-to-date? should we change something in the specs? - review request channels: We are currently only using email. Is it worth to have a chat bot on twitter to distribute links? should we consider other chat platforms instead? - statistics for help emails are not summing up correctly - prepare repo and web for locales

Talk to browser team about the recommended version file format (so that our scripts do not break) check documentation how to make deployment easier. can it be done via jenkins? ci?
