Announcements and requests: - Nick has opened review-group-22. Have a look! Please review things! - Nick's out of town this week. - After the meeting, somebody please send out a copy of this pad and a link to the logs for tor-project@ - How early should people arrive for Montreal anyway? [to team mailing list]
Nick: * Last week * Hacks and merges on stuff for R, Q, V, etc. * Numerous bugfixes and cleanups * Grabbed lots of small tickets * Sent out proposal 280 (privcount in tor) * Wrote and sent out proposal 281 (downloading microdescriptors in smarter ways) * Collected lists of things we did for NSF and sponsor4. (ahf, isabela, I sent you email about the sponsor4 status stuff I did) * Wrapped up one last sponsor4 task (#23220) * Started writing proposals on authority refactoring, TLS 1.3 migration
* This week * On vacation! (I'll see personal mail, and mostly ignore lists) * probably not hacking, unless I get bored in the car or something ;)
* The week after * I'm planning to release 0.3.1.6-rc. Please help with bugfixing!
haxxpop: * Last week - run a fuzzing test on an outer layer of hsv3 desc and found a bug (#23233) * This week - write an inner layer fuzzing of hsv3 desc and run it to find some bugs
ahf Last week: Sponsor 8: - Went out and got a spare nexus 5 to test on. - Started collecting metrics via the dump system subsystem on Android (on device). - Gave up on the simulator: too slow and querky to do anything useful with except looking at the apps themselves. Misc: - Misc. reviews. - Went to SHA2017 - met a lot of nice Tor users, did a talk. - Tried to keep the next-gen HS running as david+george's prop 244 work.
This week: Sponsor 8: - Start looking into Nick's list of timed events, start trying to minimize them, check if it has a direct effect on the measurements. Sponsor 4: - Go over Nick's comments to the prop 278 merge, send new one to review for when he's back from vacation.
Misc: - Figure out how to get to montreal: is _all_ network team meetings set in stone now? Next week: - I have vacation to do BornHack!
Mike Last week: - Recovering from back injury. This week: - Still recovering, and preparing for vacation - Going to try to get patches ready for #23077 and #23097 before I go.
isis:
Last week: - Reviewed Chelsea's protover - Wrote up more Ristretto specs - Spent ~1 day total mentoring the intern for the bridge bandwidth project
This week: - Mostly AFK to go speak at RustConf
catalyst: Last week (2017-W32): - chased down Roger's complaint about variable shadowing warnings from gcc post-hs-merge. Turns out there's an old gcc bug that made it complain about shadowing functions with variables. We should probably ignore those warnings because modern compilers are more discerning - more investigation about bridge bypass (#20532); blocked by some weird hard-to-reproduce issues on Tor Browser - some Montreal meeting logistics. Turns out air travel for me tends to require awkward routings now that I'm not in something that pretends to be an airline hub - met with Nick, Roger, and a few others (tbb-dev types?) about https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-client-progress - community team sprint. Tried out a few GetTor things and opened tickets suggesting improvements This week (2017-W33): - make more progress on #20532 - make more progress on improving bootstrap progress/error reporting (some good ideas already noted in the pad)
komlo: - Last week: - Came up with a rust kata for Montreal, will send that out soon if people want to start beforehand - This week: - Fixing up rust protover from Isis's review
