Notes for October 6 2016 meeting:
Roger: 1) We added Arturo to the Vegas team! Now we will have more chances to get OONI better integrated into the rest of the Tor work. I am especially excited to get them thinking more about Tor blocking, and about tools to more efficiently figure out *how* Tor is blocked in a given place. 2) I heard Shari suggest "Amsterdam, March" for our next dev meeting. So I sent that mail out to the tor-meetings list. March 12-16, with optional hackdays after that, looks promising. How to proceed? 3) Any news on our blog rewrite contract? 4) Did you know we submitted a proposal to the DRL-metrics call-for-proposals? I only learned it accidentally. Is there some more consistent mechanism we should use for letting people know about such things? Maybe this particular one will get better now that Arturo is here. 5) Similarly, did you know we picked a services administrator? I only learned it accidentally last week. I bet many people still don't know. 6) We should set up a "speakers bureau" to coordinate around all the talks we do and are invited to do. Who should run it? Dgoulet has offered.
Nick: 1) Nothing needed from other teams this week. 2) I'm getting out of the way as everybody does grantwriting/fundraising. 2a) But folks keep asking questions that I don't know answers to. Grants are confusing. 3) Talking to reporter about prop224, at Kate's request. 4) A short list of things I'm aware of that nobody's taken charge of so far as I know: 4a) Setting up GPG reencryptor for tor-security list. 4b) Setting up a securedrop instance 4c) Getting the board mailing lists the way the board wants them. 4d) Collecting the onboarding stuff we did with the last N people we onboarded in a way that we can onboard the next N more easily.
Kate: 1) Working with Yawning on Q and A blog post about his Firefox sandbox 2) Working with Wendy on op-ed about Rule 41 (also: There is growing interest and support for shutting down the changes to Rule 41 but basically no time or chance to do so in Congress before December 1. However, this thing can be shut down at any time in the next legislative session, so the work in sharing info about Rule 41, getting people to call Congress and spread the word to their friends and family is still very useful.) 3) Met with EFF and Mozilla policy folk as well as SF-based reporters 4) Following up with Chilean and Indian policy advocates as well as others (there is interest in an International Privacy Day as a way of reaching out to people who don't know much about privacy issues) 5) Congrats to everyone on making the Seattle meeting a success! We were all trying hard and together, we did it. I learned a lot at the meeting that I'll be using in our communications work (for instance, I got to talk to Yawning). I'll have more follow up from the Seattle meeting next week. 6) I don't need anything from the group at present. 7) Welcome, Arturo!
