Hi,
Yesterday we had our first weekly meeting adhering to the new meeting time and location. For those following along at home: from now on we ,meet 1830UTC on Mondays in #tor-meeting2, as the meeting time usually overlaps with the network team meeting in #tor-meeting.
That said our IRC log got covered by MeetBot as usual and is available at:
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting2/2019/tor-meeting2.2019-01-28-18.29.lo...
Meeting notes from the pad are below:
Monday January 28, 2019 Discussion - planning for next mobile release (GeKo: We try to have TBA-a3 out by end of Feb, otherwise it's getting too close for the proposed 8.5 stable release date)
mcs and brade: Last week: - Code reviews. - Revisited #28885 (notify users that update is downloading). - Worked on proposal for #28044 (Integrate Tor Launcher into tor-browser). - Experimented some more. - Draft proposal is nearly ready to share with the team. This week: - Publish draft proposal for #28044 (Integrate Tor Launcher into tor-browser). - Work on #29180 (MAR download stalls when about dialog is opened). - Revisit #28885 (notify users that update is downloading).
GeKo: Last week: - release preparations - code reviews (#28885, #27828, #29097, #29143, #12885, #29178, #26858, #27531, #28705) - dealing with last minute release blockers (#29185, #29182, #29179) - wrote patch for #29187 - continued working on mingw-w64/clang toolchain and Firefox build (#28716 and #28238) - started to get back to emails (sorry, tjr, did not get to yours but they are on top of the stack now) - helped with various proposals and sponsor reports (nlnet, otf, sponsor8) - sysrqb: sisbell: see comment:14 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1516642 (I am still thinking about what to reply, but we might want to do that outside of that particular bug anyway)
- sysrqb: (okay, it's only bold here) ack. i wish following m-c was easier.VV
- I got inspired over the weekend (and by the discussion on tbb-dev) and started to look at our updater security. I am in the process of going over the code and writing a state-of-the-tor browser-update document. It's a spare time project, so no big promises so far. Folks interested might enjoy the recent-ish audit of the firefox updater: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8985197 mcs: where is the tbb-dev discussion? I missed it somehow. (GeKo: I meant https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tbb-dev/2018-December/000934.html ff.)
