== Announcements ==
*
== Discussion ==
* Any services left that aren't monitored or restarted on crash/reboot? * Set up systemd user script for GetTor (based on https://help.torproject.org/tsa/doc/services/)
== Actions ==
*
== Interesting links ==
* https://google.github.io/eng-practices/review/reviewer/ * Google's guide on how to do code reviews. Worth a skim. My personal take-aways: * Make sure that patches improve the health of the existing code. They won't be perfect. * "One business day is the maximum time it should take to respond to a code review request (i.e. first thing the next morning)" * However, never interrupt your focused work to do a code review.
== Updates ==
