Hello Nick,
What's typically discussed during the Tor dev meetings? I'm interested in applying for Tor's GSoC so I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to attend.
Hi! We generally talk about what people have been doing over the last week, what we hope to work on in the next week and what unsolved problems we're facing that we might need solutions for, and try to help each other solve stuff. IMO, it's totally reasonable for us to spend some of this time talking about GSoC.
If you'd like to stop by, it might well be interesting; the meeting is specifically for the "tor" program (the one that's a crypto/networking program written in C) so you might want to have a look and see whether that's something you're interested in -- some of our suggested GSoC projects are for "tor", and others are for different, related software.
You also might like stopping by the #tor-dev IRC channel in general; it's an interesting place, and there's often somebody around who's interesting in talking about GSoC stuff.
best wishes,
