== Announcements ==
* Remember we are moving to https://nc.torproject.net for nextcloud. If you have anything else in nc.riseup.net or storm.torproject.org please move it
== Discussion ==
* Gettor update * Survival guide here: https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/gettor-project/gettor/... * Let's agree on an IRC "team handle" that we configure highlights for. This will allow both team-internal and team-external people to reach our team. * There already is "network-team" and "tb-team" * "ac-team" and "anti-censorship-team" * Kicked out old snowflake proxies with #29207 update * It will take a while for metrics to come in, but it looks like we still have plenty. * Cupcake hadn't been updated at all since the original import of Snowflake * dcf is ready to migrate the Snowflake broker to the IPv6 host (#29258). He can update the snowflake-broker.bamsoftware.com address from which snowflake-broker.freehaven.net will follow. Tor Metrics should automatically start following the new broker after that. * Just want to be sure people are around to react in case something goes wrong. * I'd like to copy over the metrics log, but otherwise i'm ready --cohosh
* Sponsor 30: we are skipping the November meeting as Hellais and Phw already met during summit. Work Plan for November: https://nc.torproject.net/s/7MYXRmTgirqKKyk * Create an evaluation framework for bridge distribution and selection methods. (anti-censorship team) #31274 * Improve documentation on how to set up a bridge server and different pluggable transport bridge servers. (anti-censorship team) #31280 * Create scripts and configuration code for setting up a bridge on cloud providers to make it easier for operators to launch a new bridge. (anti-censorship team) #31281
* Any update to the roadmap? https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/anti-censorship/roadmap/-/boards

Hiro: Started restoring Twitter Responder. When retrieving tweets I need to check for new tweets only otherwise Gettor will end up responding to old back log and already answered messages. <-- is this #27330 ? Next Week: - Work on gettor specs <-- Is this #3781? - More with review of strings and website content and translation
phw: This week (2019-11-14): * Attended OTF summit. * Had a chat with Arturo about sponsor 30 * Talked to people about private obfs4 bridge distribution * Lots of censorship-related information sharing * Thought about information sharing list for projects that ship obfs4. * Attended OTF advisory council meeting. * Filed #32276 to help BridgeDB see client IP addresses of moat requests. * Merged two new obfs4 bridge setup guides (thanks to egypcio). * Revised and merged #32203 (no BridgeDB metrics for vanilla bridges); released BridgeDB v0.9.1. * Updated BridgeDB dependencies because of security issue in pillow. * More root cause analysis of #15404 (BridgeDB's email responses aren't localised). * Closed #19839 (untranslated title strings in BridgeDB) because we seem to have fixed it already. * Reviewed #31310 and #29207. * Made progress on #31834 (improve Docker container). * Reviewed status-check script for BridgeDB (will help test our email autoresponder).
