Discussion: -sessions for the meeting days -next meeting
boklm (maybe afk during meeting): Last week: - worked on some patches for: - #25111: Don't compile Yasm on our own anymore for Windows Tor Browser - #24995: include git hash in tor --version - #20892: use sha256sums-signed-build.txt in download_missing_versions - started opening sub-tickets for #18867 (Ship auto-updates for Tor Browser nightly channel) - started doing some rsyncs to upload nightly builds to nightlies.tbb.torproject.org, but rsync from an .onion seems to be too slow to rsync everything in less than a day - was at FOSDEM this weekend - afk most of this monday This week: - fix the https-everywhere test from our testsuite - work on #18867 (Ship auto-updates for Tor Browser nightly channel) - try to fix upload of builds to nightlies.tbb.torproject.org
mcs and brade: Last week: - Commented on some of "our" bugs that are listed in Arthur's Uplift Tracker. - Debugged and fixed #25089 (Special characters not escaped in proxy password). - Helped a little with #25099 (Update nightly version number). - Reviewed the fix for #22794 (Don't open AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockets when AF_LOCAL is configured). - Did some bug triage, e.g., #25064 (Don't record update history). - Did a little work on #23136 (Moat integration): - Discussed backing out the SOCKS optimistic data patch. - Pinged dcf about creating a new meek tag for us. - Pinged isis regarding the problem where BridgeDB is not returning any bridges. Planned for this week: - Review the updated patch for #22794 (Don't open AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockets when AF_LOCAL is configured). - For #23136 (Moat integration): - Assist Isis as needed with the "no bridges returned" bug. - Request review of Tor Launcher's Moat client implementation. - Review gk's proposal for redesigning the security controls. - Plan Rome travel. - Triage the Tor Launcher bug list (set priorities, close outdated tickets).
sysrqb: Last week: - Ran many Try builds using master and TBA branch and corrected failures - I'd like to patch tor-browser.git with some small changes so Try builds are nearly the same as official Tor Browser builds - I don't have much to discuss, but is there a reason for not doing this? - Started `step 0` of Tor Launcher integration - Built a test package, but I still need to test it - Chatted with Arthur about Tor Launcher in TBA and the current Tor Launcher proposal This week: - Update #19675 (Merge Orfox patches into tor-browser) with current status and next steps - Write a design proposal (with igt0) for TBA (in general) - Decide what the minimal viable product should be for shipping TBA - Should we ship with tor-launcher on mobile or should we release a version that still requires Orbot? - Isa, is the UX team working on designs for mobile, like a Tor Launcher flow?
igt0: Last week: - Did few updates in the Tor Button Proposal (I still need to add more info about language importer): https://storm.torproject.org/shared/YzB0w-EaaSIeD8jHszY5MiyeGG7s3Br4RcTwc0FU... - Update the commit message and rebased with the latest tor button version #25013 - Ported the code from #25013 to the mobile browser(https://github.com/igortoliveira/tor-browser/tree/tor-button-mobile)
(it doesn't work yet because the button does not exists, so the gettorbutton method doesn't work) Geko, Arthur: are we going to move the tor circuit to the address bar? (and what about the new identity?) [Arthur says: yes -- this is #24309 and #24918][It's not decided yet what to do with New Identity but it's more a general thing, not site-specific. Thus, I am inclined to not move it to the address bar but have maybe an own button for it on the toolbar given it's importance - GeKo] This week: - Add the tor button icon in the mobile menu so i can keep integrating the tor button extension into Orfox - Add the language importer in the #25013 Geko, mcs: What about the https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25126 ? do we have a design document or should we make the current page responsive?

Still working on Timer Fuzzing, but think I have a real path forward now
Sandbox almost uplifted:
gk: Can you remind me/refresh me on what the Sandbox Exports thing is? [That's a suggestion I got from bobowen to avoid mingw-related crashes on win32; they said to me that this is a thing that will be deprecated in the future IIRC and that's fine to take a different code path - GeKo]
