Notes for June 27 2019 meeting:
Georg: 1) Back from All Hands keeping track of and doing all the follow-ups 2) We should decide about follow-up sessions we need for our dev meeting. I am fine waiting with that for the scaling meeting tomorrow, if we want. Pili and I agreed the Tor Browser vision session is not as important right now and we could fill it with one of those sessions. Maybe specific Tor Browser related performance/metrics items that came out of All Hands (as the more network team related ones would overlap with part of the network retrospective). [gaba_hijacking_space: sounds good. I'm removing the Tor browser vision session. Can we briefly discuss here the state of the onion if everybody agree on who is going to be there (sheet in https://nc.riseup.net/s/FFkikRBmKDZyLw9 ) ] [says file not found] [now it should work] 3) We finally got all chemspill releases out on all platforms. Big thanks to boklm for driving this and doing the bulk of the work. 4) started with preparations for network health session at dev meeting 5) HackerOne backlog

Steph: could you review the doc she made and tell us what do you think, if we can proceed, if you want to have some specific things there that we don't have right now (but exists), etc? [I checked it out, and it looks good to me! -steph] [cool! hiro, pili and I will work on it during the dev meeting - A] 7) Stockholm meeting - coordinating with dunqan for the Persona's session - planning a Tor Browser prioritizing user problems session - organizing S27 UX work to make sure we are making decisions on what is needed

Notes for June 20 2019 meeting:
Nick: 1) Work goes on; team is mostly working on 0.4.2 stuff 2) Looks like 0.4.1 is likely to become stable on-schedule!? - All teams: Please let us know if you have any bugs that really need to get fixed between 0.4.1.x-alpha and 0.4.1.x-stable.
Gaba: 1) we have several options on what to do with email at the organization and a decision could be made soon https://nc.riseup.net/s/9iExsYaZC4mP8p8 (conversation will continue in Stockholm - options 2 and 4 are the one possible right now) 2) started collecting feedback about nextcloud migration https://nc.riseup.net/s/atdNpRScNiBfKrM 3) follow up on gitlab/trac migration https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30857 4) follow up on CI role as permanent versus rotating at the network team. 5) small changes/follow up on draft Tor meeting schedule. https://nc.riseup.net/s/FFkikRBmKDZyLw9 6) RT/Frontdesks: pili created an account for me. 7) gettor is happening on https://dip.torproject.org/anti-censorship/gettor/boards (updating it from trac myself) 8) other tasks like roadmaps update/checking. 9) sponsor 19 report can be public now. Steph: we (phw, cohosh, kat, arma, karsten) are coordinating a blogpost for next week.
pili: 1) Worked on feedback reviews 2) Working with more GSoD candidates 3) S9 Phase3 Work Plan responses 4) Community Portal 5) Finally looked into Frontdesk/rt - There's a lot of spam, most of it in polish, I cleaned up a lot of it and tried to remove the culprits from rt, hopefully that will help with ticket volume - I would say about 50% or more of the tickets on the first page are related to people requesting bridges or reporting issues with bridges. (Phw and me are in the loop about this here. --gaba) - around 25% of tickets on the first page have no subject and no content... - There's probably around 50 new legitimate tickets every week that are going unanswered - Still need to do more analysis but that's a quick summary of what I've seen so far 6) Working on a plan for re-organising media.tpo. Steph: we should sync about this when I have a clear plan [yes, let's! exciting :) lmk if you want any help with planning] 7) Working on plans for website maintenance in future 8) Organising work for monthly donors fundraising banner on TBB
isa: 1) Met with Ford on Tuesday 2) Start the work with Beth Grupp consultation 3) Finalizing small things regarding the dev meeting (board meeting day, vegas leads meeting day, space logistics) 4) Will meet with Trevor Timm (tomorrow/friday) 5) Tea Time session on tor-internal 6) Working on reviewing working plan for sponsor9
Erin: 1) back from vacation; playing catch-up
Karsten: 1) At All Hands.
Steph: 1) Def Con preparation 2) Community portal copy 3) Bug campaign prep 4) Getting resettled after holiday
