Outreachy interns o/
by Stephanie A. Whited 24 Jan '20

24 Jan '20

Hello Tor, In December, we welcomed 2 Outreachy[1] interns who will be working with us through March. You may have already seen them on IRC or some of the work they've been up to, but we wanted to introduce you and give a formal welcome. Cleopatra (c1e0 on IRC) is helping the Community team on the project "Help Tor support our users." C1e0 has been helping out in the frontdesk world by answering questions and has also been compiling user feedback in a monthly report[2]. Adriana (annalee_ on IRC) is helping the Communications team with "Improving Tor's image in the media and our communications resources." In the application period, she complied a list of influencers for us to reach out to in an upcoming campaign and has since been working on cleaning up our blog tags and press list. She'll soon start helping with more writing-focused projects. Welcome Cleopatra and Adriana! -Steph [1] https://www.outreachy.org [2] https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2020-January/002645.html -- Stephanie A.

24 Jan '20

Hello! We had our kick-off meeting for the network health team yesterday and here come the notes. The IRC log can be found at: http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2020/tor-meeting2.2020-01-23-18.00.l… The pad we used to organize our meeting topics and outcomes is at https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-networkhealth-2020.1-keep Highlights from this meeting are: 1) We talked about the long-term topics guiding the network-health team work. Breaking those down results in the following priorities for 2020: a) detect and resolve bad relays b) anomaly analysis / network health engineer [with network team] c) relay advocacy [with community team] d) make sure usage/growth stats are collected and accurate [with metrics team] e) maintain the components of the network to keep it healthy 2) Based on 1) we started our roadmapping (which is not finished yet) to figure out the most urgent work to do for the next coming weeks and months. You'll find the progress we made so far on the above pad, too. 3) We agreed on having weekly meetings and status updates as the other teams are doing. Our tentative meeting time will be Monday, 1900 UTC in #tor-meeting on OFTC's IRC network, starting Monday, 2/3. If any of you have questions/concerns/comments, don't hesitate to send them! Georg

Network Team Meeting Notes, 22 January 2020
by Alexander Færøy 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Hello, Here is a short summary of the network team meeting from Wednesday the 22nd of January 2020. 1) We started out with roadmap. We went over our Q1 2020 roadmap and checked if everything looked good. Gaba had imported tickets from Trac before the meeting such that all of that was ready. 2) We went over review assignments. Things looked fine. 3) We looked at the 0.4.3 status page. People were asked to make sure that tickets had the 043-must/043-should/043-can keywords and otherwise they will be moved to 0.4.4 planning. Nick and Alex will meet next week and try to distribute some of the tickets out to team members. 4) Nick asked if anybody had any blockers of 0.4.3.x and if not, he would roll an alpha release after the meeting. 5) We talked shortly about the upcoming IPv6 grant (s55): teor is going to be working on this but they are open for other people to join in. There is a planning meeting on 23/01/2020 at 22 UTC for this sponsor. 6) We could use more people that are up for doing merging to master. 7) We discussed some Stem CI issues and how we should handle them. 8) We discussed getting more eyes on sbws. Ideally we should talk with the network health team here too such that they have an idea about what is happening with bandwidth scanning. 9) Nobody had anything else to discuss. --- end of summary --- You can read the network team meeting log at: http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2020/tor-meeting.2020-01-22-22.59.html Below are the contents of our meeting pad: Nick: Week of Jan 13 (planned): - Freeze 0.4.3 in two days - more work on whatever gets reviewed. - reviews and merges - Write a test for 20218 - Try moving dirauth_mode() to src/core - More investigation on 32835 (log bug) - More investigation on 32868 (assertion bug) - More releases?

Gitlab Migration Status 17/1 2020
by Alexander Færøy 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Hello list! Gaba and I recently talked about how it would be good to have some status about where we are with the Gitlab migration project. In December a lot of you reported a lot more issues than I had spotted, which was both extremely good, but also not so good in that every issue was another thing for me to fix :-) Thanks to everybody for reporting these! Fortunately, with anarcat's suggestion of using some parts of tracboat I got over some of the "Trac markup" to Markdown issues quickly, but some of them remained. Recently, cohosh reported an issue with the Gitlab instance we were running where PR's generated 503 messages. Hiro spend a lot of time trying to debug this, and with this new issue in mind, we have decided to move to Gitlab's own "omnibus" package method for maintaining the Gitlab instance instead of Debian's "salsa" Ansible playbooks. We feel that a larger number of us are more confident with operating the omnibus Gitlab instance and those of us who have been running Gitlab instances this way before (hiro, gaba, and myself) haven't run into issues like the ones we have had with Salsa so far. Here's a summary for my Gitlab hackday today: - Synced my local cache of Trac tickets (used for speeding up runs). - Worked on "missing information" issues reported in December: points -> estimation, actual points -> spending (both based on a conversion function Gaba and I talked about in December), owner, milestone, reviewer, and "reported by". I still use my own username for these to avoid spamming folks with emails. - CC in issues for *known users* so far. That is the people who have users on GL when we move. - Figure out how to handle parents. - Extended the "Tracboat" conversion code with handling some of our {{{ }}} (code blocks) and headlines better. Checking the cosmetic changes for errors takes longer time than all the metadata issues since I need to go over tickets and see if things "looks right" and not just look out for missing or wrong information. Right now it's running against my local GL install in a Qubes VM for speed, and once I've gone over the results I'll make it post to a new repo on dip.torproject.org (this makes the difference of a sync from 8h for a complete sync to 20min). I will be using "strike through" on the text on our December pad to indicate that I think something is fixed, then we can walk over it together at a later point. Have a nice weekend all! All the best, Alex. -- Alexander Færøy
