Hi! Our meeting transcript is at http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-dev/2017/tor-dev.2017-04-10-16.59.html

Below are the status reports from this week

======== Nick: * reviewed code, merged a bunch * worked on consensus diff stuff (more). Now I have a labeled storage system that can manage consensuses and make diffs in worker threads. Next up is actually putting things there as they arrive; actually launching the "build a diff" stuff, and the tests. * This week, planning to try to get consensus diff code ready for some kind of review by end of week. * Mostly off IRC next week; going on trip with family (kid is on a school break)

ASN says:

- Worked on the recent onion address and ed25519 threads that started in [tor-dev], and tried to figure out which things are worth doing. I opened two action item threads: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-April/012164.html https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-April/012163.html

I'd appreciate feedback from Ian (at least) before I proceed here. Ian still hasn't replied but I suspect he will just do it later. Otherwise, I'll ping him.

- Worked some more on prop279 (Name System API).

- Started working on an API for setting up e2e crypto on rendezvous circuits which is meant to be used by clients and services (#21859).

This week:

- Engage more with the ed25519/onion address tor-dev threads I posted above.

- Think more of the size of HS descriptors and about the recent solutions proposed in #21693.

- Continue e2e circuit work on #21859.

- Revise HS ntor branch based on nick's latest review.

- Figure out GSoC.

AHF says: - Helped review #21869 for Nick. - Had an Amsterdam follow-up meeting with Karsten + Samdney regarding Sponsor4 efforts impact on the metrics team. See: https://pad.riseup.net/p/chikeuBN1OUh - Merged various fixes to proposal #278 (from `ahf/prop-278-fixes` on Gitlab). - Build tool fixing and testing patches for lzma2/zstd code landing (bug #21662 + 21663)

Other stuff: - Getting more into Rust. - Looked at GSoC proposals. Doesn't look like there was any submissions for the IPv6 proposal though. - Wrote an email to the tor-relays to hear if tor-fw-helper is used by anybody: so far only one person have replied that they are using it. - Reviewed issues #21841, #21842 - Bug triaging task: not many new issues on trac.

This week: - Finishing off the remaining assigned issues for the current sponsor4 efforts. - Figure out if the compression API can do what we want it to do: storagedir, directory connections, xxx - Discuss with Nick about doing additional measurements and compare it to the measurements we did in early March. - I'm off for some of Thursday and Friday (easter holidays in Denmark).

Catalyst is out this week.

pastly says:

Not much that Tor would care about yet

- got scheduler switching via function pointers and a torrc option working - removed more testing-only code - currently debugging an issue with the kist scheduler that is difficult to reproduce

- plan is to add a new type of cell to signal lots of extra debugging

on the circuit

- this code will only ever be ran in Shadow

dgoulet says: - Worked on implementing mandatory ed25519 cert as link specifier for intro point in #20657 (prop224 service). - Wrote prop224 patch and code for #21871. - With #21871, finalize the introduction point legacy support for prop224 in #20657. - Implemented INTRODUCE replay cache support in #20657. - Reviewed #16861 this morning. All my comments are in the Gitlab. - Moved code out of #20657 massive development branch for early upstream inclusion. Every ticket about it have been put as child of #21888. - Fixed couple of 031 tickets as well. - This week will be resolving ticket in 031 and continue #20657 with service upload descriptor code and unit tests.

Mike: - Most of my week last week was spent preparing for and meeting with Mozilla - This week I will look over the #16861 review. - Some time may be consumed by taxes :/
