* Check reviewer assignments at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ufrun1khEo5Cwd6OwngERn829wU3W3eskdrr...
* Also, let's check for things we need update on our spreadsheet! Are there important documents we should link to? Things we should archive?
* Check rotations at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TeamRota...
* Community guides, it's time to hand off to the next guide!
* Let's look at proposed tickets! [but see discussion] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=as...
== Reminders ==
* Remember to "/me status: foo" at least once daily. * Remember that our current code reviews should be done by end-of-week. * Make sure you are in touch with everybody with whom you are doing work for the next releases

== Announcements ==
""" Sponsor8 ends on Dec 31, and we have some deliverables that needs to make 035. The 035 merge window closes on Sept 15. With that in mind, we need to prioritize these deliverables, and ask some folks to step out from rotations and most code reviews for the next month or so, so we can get it all done.
Code reviews will also prioritize sponsor8 work, so, some reviews might be delayed and not added to the weekly review spreadsheet.
For the rest of us, we don't intend that reviews and rotations should take up your whole life. If you're spending more than 20% or so of your week on reviews and rotations, then we might need to recalibrate. Talk to Nick and Isa if that sounds like the situation you're in.
We will resume normal team operations once we get the sponsor8 deliverables done :) thank you for the understanding. """
If anyone has an opinion on bwauth scaling and how sbws needs to match torflow, please contribute to: * https://github.com/pastly/simple-bw-scanner/issues/182 * Trac #27135 We don't want to be making last-minute changes to the design.

(#27146) - I was on leave for a local holiday on Wednesday
this week: - Keep on trying to fix bridges are broken in 0.3.4 and master (#27080) - PrivCount in Tor: blinding and encryption - reviews, fixes, design meeting - other reviews and revisions
rest of 0.3.5: - work out the earliest rust version tor supports, and add CI for it - Implement PrivCount in Tor noise generation (#26637, maybe #26398) - Merge PrivCount in Tor
komlo (offline): - Last week: - Gave a talk about Rust, had a lot of conversations about how to move forward with some existing Rust issues. Will be sending updates/syncs this week - This week: - Finish writing a draft for a peer review checklist, will work with Mike on adding his input/finalizing this - Look over recently-opened Rust tickets (thank you to the people opening these and adding improvements!)
haxxpop: - Last week: - The client auth code is ready for review and test. Even thought the test still fails on Windows but I think we can review and test the code while I fix this issue. The code is in https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/36 - This week: - One thing that we haven't discussed about yet is how clients generate their keypairs (how the command will look like). After discussing about this, I think I will implement it.
