Notes for December 7 2017 meeting:
Nick: 1) Had productive conversation with Mozillans last week; I'm feeling generally positive about spec work. 2) Security releases uneventful; next planned Tor release is an another alpha, or maybe a release candidate, around 15 Dec-- then aiming for another release in early January. 3) I need to disseminate knowledge to people going to the mozilla all-hands, but I don't know what. Ask me stuff?
Karsten: 1) Made good progress on IPv6 relay/bridge statistics. Currently under review. 2) Relay Search (formerly known as Atlas) now has a world map!
Steph: 1) going over support portal copy with Tommy to be done by end of Dec 2) planning onion services campaigning with comms, asn, & dgoulet 3) editing next fundraising email with tommy / comms 4) newsletter went out yesterday with blogs from the last month, donate call to action, upcoming events 5) I’ll be at Mozilla all-hands next week - interested to learn more about how we work together, their comms and marketing, and how we can campaign together 6) I'll be at our Tor meetup tonight in NYC
Mike: 1) Is ReCaptcha acting up? I have developed a habit of skipping cloudflare captcha sites, but some guy keeps highlighting me on IRC about some issue? [GeKo: Could be, there have been some folks quite vocal about it on trac as well in the last weeks] 2) What do we think about Privacy Pass? Is it too early to ask Google if they would look at it? [GeKo: I plan to have another look at it next week. Let me get back to you then?]
Georg: 1) We worked on remaining Sponsor4 items (we are almost done here, two things left) 2) The security releases are about to get out
Isabela: 1) spoke at a panel at MDF annual meeting 2) Decision was made last week on what Sukhbir will work on :) which will be mail bundle (focusing on showcasing the experience of using an email client on mobile that connects to tor and then to the email provider using .onion - the bundle will enable the client to connect to tor. The email provider for this prototype will be riseup (they are already using .onion)) 3) working in Seattle this week - meeting about grants for 2018 and organizing workplan for big UX contract 4) Reviewing sponsor8 work to see how we doing for Q4 before Q4 ends [nick maybe we could sync about this like we did with ahf and catalyst (or whoever is working on this stuff)]
Brad: 1) Thank you for all of the feedback on the latest employee time allocation budgets. I have made updates based on issues/concerns noted and will be sending out the updated version momentarily. 2) Jon and I have implemented a new inventory system for managing all of the swag that is sent to donors/relay operators/other friends of Tor. With the new office and the system we put in place, Jon is getting shirts out at a very high rate (over 300 in one day!) 3) Sue and I have been reviewing current use of Harvest and will be coming up with a brief report on ways we can utilize the system more effectively. Expect to distribute first to vegas team later this month.
