== Announcements ==

* Bug Smash Fund campaign has been on since beginning of August. Update: https://blog.torproject.org/tors-bug-smash-fund-86k-raised . The idea is that this will be funding non-sponsor bugs. If you are working on ticket that is not sponsored please tag it with BugSmashFund keyword. * Remember to add 'actual points' to a ticket when you are closing it. * BridgeDB bot updated its HTTP header to evade our anti-bot mechanism * Still maintained, after all * ValdikSS created yet another forum for Internet censorship discussion: https://ntc.party * Transition to gitlab is slowly moving forward: * Notes from last meeting: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2019-September/002492.htm... * Planning document: https://nc.riseup.net/s/SnQy3yMJewRBwA7

== Discussion ==

* Tickets from July and August's roadmap: * July * 30830 did not started. Should we move it into roadmap for next months or back to icebox? * August https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=accepted&status=as... * move into september/october, back to icebox? * September: #26543 is a ticket that irl will work on. We are moving it to October. * I'm going to use the keyword 'anti-censorship-roadmap' for tickets that are getting out of the roadmap into icebox (they do not have a specific period for completion).(Gaba)
