== Stuff to do every week =

* How are we managing CI failures from last week? See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CIFailur...

* Let's check the 0.4.1 release status page. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorR... (This page automatically shows the latest trac ticket status.)

* Let's check and update the roadmap. What's done, and what's coming up? We're using a kanban board: https://storm.torproject.org/shared/_mx8PMGOHFBOximocl1gy3COvhLPr6k3Ja7JA1vN... Click on 'all boards' and then the network team one. Filter by your name and check the 'in progress' column is correct.

* Check reviewer assignments! How reviews from last week worked? Any blocker?

Here are the outstanding reviews, oldest first, including sbws https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=needs_review&compo...

* Check rotations at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TeamRota... .

* See discussion notes below.

Any blocker from last week?

== Reminders ==

* Remember to "/me status: foo" at least once daily. * Remember that our current code reviews should be done by end-of-week. * Make sure you are in touch with everybody with whom you are doing work for the next releases.

* Remember to fill up the 'actual point' field when you close a ticket. We need those to calculate velocity.

* Check other's people call for help in their entries.

* First monthly Retrospective is on Thursday May 23rd, 20:00 UTC

------------------------------- ---- 20 May 2019 -------------------------------

== Announcements ==

- The master branch is now 0.4.1.x; 0.4.0 development will continue in maint-0.4.0.

== Discussion ==

Rotation updates:

For retrospective meeting on Thursday do people prefer (please vote with +1):

1. Mumble in riseup.net ?

2. Jitsi ? +1 +1

3. Something else (explain).

How do we handle our freeze and freeze period? Nick has suggestions:

Let's default to "if a feature isn't needs_review by Wednesday, it isn't going in", with sensible exceptions.

If the initial review suggests that the branch is high-risk, we should maybe not merge it, depending on impact.

Let's IMMEDIATELY look for MUST items in 041, and try to fix them. Nick will recreate Teor's "040-must" page for 041.

We can open 042 early if people are all focusing on 041-must fixes.

Please look for 041 problems to fix, or S19 things to do, instead of getting an early start on 042.

By default we keep 042 closed for a month, but should look at it fresh each meeting.

Help with: - Everyone, please look at the 041 status page ( https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorR... ) and see whether there is anything in the last secton (neither 041-must or 041-should) that you think should be 041-must or should. - Also, please check whether there is anything assigned for 041 to you that you cannot do in the next week or two. (We're aiming for a Stable in mid-August, which implies that a release-candidate in mid-July is necessary.)
