== Stuff to do every week =

* 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://dip.torproject.org/torproject/core/tor/boards

* 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...

== 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.

* When you are overloaded, it is ok to say "no" to things. * And it is ok to reschedule things.

== Announcements ==

AFK

ahf will be AFK all of August for BornHack and CCC Camp, but will be on IRC every now and then

On September there is a technical writer from Google Season of Docs starting to work with us on rewriting the Tor manual page. She will be participating in the network team meetings. Her project: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants/project-tor

We are moving the kanban board from storm into https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/core/tor/boards . This will help lead a plan for migration into dip.torproject.org.

The release date for 0.4.1.x-stable is postponed to 20 August, so that it will come out _after_ Nick is back from vacation. Please get all 041 blockers fixed and merged if possible?

People working on sponsor 31 will meet on Thursday August 29th at 2300 UTC. We will talk in #tor-meeting and the agenda will be here:https://pad.riseup.net/p/IRjuGtQkWNKZLc7qskDb

== Discussion ==

* [gaba] There are some tickets left from August in the Roadmap. Do we icebox them? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=as...

teor says: it's still August for 8 more days?

* [gaba] do we schedule next network team retrospective? It may be a good idea to skip until end of September as many people were on leave in August. <-- It will be on late September -->
