Meeting notes for OONI weekly call 19 August 2013
by Arturo Filastò 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi all, As promised here are the notes for the last OONI weekly call of August 19th 2013 18:00 CET. People present * Meredith * Nathan * Tom * Arturo * Stephen This is what was discussed: # Drop /nettest part of API Stephen raised some good points on the /nettest API. We agreed that since keeping track of versioning is something a bit complicated we should not implement this feature at this time. We should always update net tests and the probe software at the same time, therefore having a feature that could possibly lead to this un-alignement is not ideal. ## Next steps We will remove from the oonib.md specification the /nettest API and remove support for it inside of oonib. # Doing the security audit with test infrastructure Nathan said that it would be useful to have oonib deployed in an environment that resembles production is useful to them. We will not manage to have ooni deployed on the m-lab production nodes, but we can easily deploy it on the m-lab test nodes. Stephen says that as long as the package building process keeps on working, this will be easy for him to do. Making sure this stays true we have created this ticket: https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/issues/161 ## Next steps OONI team will finish development on oonib, tag a release and test it with the deployment scripts. # Issue of backend collector mapping server side reports I explained the rationale behind having the test helpers keyed to a collector. As long as we make it that you report to the collector run by the test helper you used we will be able, in future versions, to collect also reports from the backend side. # Slight delay on this weeks milestone We are a bit behind on the next milestone, but we have however a bit of buffer with the one before the least authority audit starts. We will finish it by this week, but we will not change the date on the github milestone. It is just expected to be closed on the 25th. # Merging of wiki with ooni-spec We agreed that the wiki is going to go into the ooni-spec repository (https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/issues/159?source=c) ## Next steps Merge the wiki into the ooni-spec repository and add a link in the wiki front page pointing to it's new location. -- If you think I missed something feel free to append your comments to this email. ~ Art.

Ooni Audit Schedule update
by Nathan Wilcox 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hello all, I apologize for our scheduling postponement. We're now planning to conclude the implementation audit of Ooni from September 30th through October 11th. How does that fit Ooni's schedule? We're also considering a separate project to help with deployment engineering. If that goes through it would start after October. Let's discuss that at the next dev meeting on Monday. -- Nathan Wilcox Least Authoritarian

M-Lab docs
by Meredith Whittaker 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

Hi all, As an action from today's call, here's a collection of most pertinent M-lab docs. If you're looking for something that doesn't seem to be here, or if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask Stephen and me. Cheers, Meredith *Documents: * - Platform architecture doc<http://measurementlab.net/sites/default/files/HowtoContributetoM-LabServerI…>. The intended audience is hosting partners (who donate space/power/connectivity/hardware). - Policies and procedures for approval<http://measurementlab.net/sites/default/files/SubmissionguidelinesforM-Labe…> of new experiments. Note that I wrote this, and that it may not be specific enough, but I can answer any questions. Note that OONI has been approved as meeting these criteria per the Steering Committee process. - Server map <http://measurementlab.net/mlab_sites>. Get a look at the global M-Lab footprint. - List of existing M-Lab<http://measurementlab.net/measurement-lab-tools> measurement tools. Code repos and documentation for individual tools should be linked from here. If they're not, let me know and I'll add this. - Access existing M-Lab data <http://measurementlab.net/data>, tarballs and BigQuery. - Blog post describing the process to visualize data using BigQuery<http://dmadev.com/2012/11/19/visualizing-m-lab-data-with-bigquery/>, a good introduction both to the tool and the data structure. If you'd like whitelisted access to M-Lab data on BigQuery, let me know and I'll make it happen. - Founding document<http://measurementlab.net/sites/default/files/mlab_intro_and_server_require…>, which will give you background on M-Lab's founding motivations. Many of the facts quoted here have changed (e.g. number of servers), but as history this is instructive. - Existing visualizations <http://measurementlab.net/visualization>, which are fun and may be instructive. -- Meredith Whittaker Program Manager, Google Research Google NYC
