These days I use her real name But I don't dare to mention it. She hides from cameras. And now I've gone and put her in a poem. -- Wendy Cope, "Omo"

Old Announcements: * 0.3.3.x is in feature-freeze. No new features (except for #24902, which has permission.). * No 0.3.4.x patches will be merged till the window opens on Feb 15. * Please, work on bugfixes! It would be great to have this release release on time. (Planned date is 15 April) * There are tons of tiny 0.3.3.x tickets. Maybe if you can do one of them in <X minutes for some small X, you should just do it? * May hackfest has been approved by Shari. dgoulet, teor, and isabela are organising it off-list. See the network-team list for updates.
Announcements: * 0.3.3.2-alpha came out Saturday. * Review-group-32 is open! There are 17 tickets for us to review. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&keywords=~... * Meeting today (2100 UTC) to discuss UTF-8 proposal * No GSoC for Tor :'( [this time] * We moved the hackfest 2 days later (Wednesday 30th - Sunday 3rd) to avoid clashing with Memorial Day
Discussion: - any questions about areas of work for our roadmap planning - please review and give feedback / trying to close this by friday feb 16. (Let's review it again!) https://pad.riseup.net/p/LMxcQxvWOvzz-setofareas - 0.3.3 wrapup - 0.3.4 opening

Nick: * Last week: * Alpha release of 0.3.3.2-alpha. * Started taking a class about Coq [isis: COOL] * Tons of release-engineering, ticket triage, etc. * Tried to work on numerous small bugs * This week: * Many meetings. * Lunch with Isabela on Friday * Try to get all important stuff backported to stable releases * TROVE-2018-001 * Work on sleep/wakup auditing. [ ahf: I'm doing some experiments with Shadow on this right now - maybe we should talk about joining forces here? ][yes,let's talk for a couple minutes right after this? -nm][ ahf: WFM ] * Open 0.3.4 merge window? [asn: sounds good] [dgoulet: +1, on schedule :)] * Try to finish identifying all must-fix issues for 0.3.3. Please help.
[dgoulet: Do you prefer a keyword or we tell you which one we think are must fix or ... ?]
[asn: we are also done with review-group-31]
dgoulet: * Last week: - Did some roadmap brainstorming with isa/asn - Hackfest in Seattle logistics. - DoS mitigation released (woot!). Final work needed for that was in #25193 along with work nick did in #25183. - Triage and commented on 033 tickets. - Some patches for other 033 tickets can't recall them all (see timeline). - Perf analysis of 033 busy relays. #25152 is a ticket resulting in that investigation. I think 033 is in good shape in terms of CPU cycles. The DoS mitigation doesn't seem to be affecting performance much. Timeline: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/timeline?from=Feb+12%2C+2018&da... * This week: - Work on 033 tickets. - I have big patches for 034 in the scheduler so I'm aiming to get them in needs_review very close to when the merge window opens in 3 days. - <whatever comes up this week>
isabela: - last week: - sent sponsor8 Q4 report finally o/ - sent a proposal for roadmap(s) planning to the list, please see discussion point above regarding the areas of work exercise/list creation - this week: - finalize areas of work w/ team - notify network testers - start preparing for next phase of roadmap(s) planning - lunch w/ nick on friday
ahf Last week: Sponsor 8: - Did some data collection for Isa for the Q4 2017 reporting. - Wrote a log collection script for MainLoopStats log messages (from #24605). - Got Shadow to run with 0.3.2 with the patch from #24605. Misc: - Did some bug triaging for 0.3.3 bugs, moved bugs ahead, closed some duplicates. - Reviewed: #24909, #25162. - Landed fix for: #25120. - Added two possible solutions to #22926 - one was rejected, the second one might be better. - Weekend project: Wrapped my head around Tor's PT implementation and wrote a Quic PT -- was a fun exercise. Next step is to get the source IP change (roaming) feature to play nicely. This week: Sponsor 8: - Go over S8 roadmap tasks. - Wrap my head around using Shadow for all experiments where it is suitable for reproducible results. - Continue memory optimization work.
isis: last week: - added extra logging temporarily to the bridgedb server on polyanthum to attempt to debug the remainder of #24432 - fixed a rust memleak #25127 and then never-going-to-happen-but-if-it-did rust FFI panic!() UB - we should maybe be compiling our rust code with `-C panic=abort` to avoid unwinding across FFI? not sure - tried to make utilities for working with static strings across the FFI boundary #25185 - transfered moat google appengine account to TPO ownership - continued a bit of work on organising how the large create cell code should be implemented #24986 - led a proposal meeting for consensus hash chaining prop#239 - began scheduling proposal meetings for prop#267 prop#245 and prop#242 - reviewed the openssl 1.1.1 patches #24978 this week: - more of #24986 - moat debugging / probably writing SQL statements by hand to transfer the "unassigned" bridges to be assigned to moat - going through the appengine instance to try to document how to set one up :/ - more proposal meeting scheduling - prop#285 "make directory documents be utf-8" meeting today at 13:00 PST (starts three hours after this meeting starts)
