Notes for Apr 28 2016 meeting:

Georg: 1) We worked on our Tor Browser releases and got them out. 2) In the next weeks we will work on stabilizing ESR45 based code for the 6.0 stable release being due in about 4 weeks. 3) I worked on a replacement/change for our OTF sandbox deliverable.

Kate: 1) Facebook press: Coordinated closely with Alec Muffett from Facebook; published simple press release; spoke to TechCrunch and Daily Dot; got a flood of positive press from other outlets based on Alec's short Facebook blog post. 2) Edman media strategy and statement (on statement: conferred with colleagues, drafted statement with Shari, fact checked with Roger, Nick and others, sent to Daily Dot reporter.) 3) Reviewed bug report for Nick 4) Met with Nick and Shari on media issues. 5) Coordinated interviews with Daily Dot (Facebook article, article on Edman, also article on Internet censorship), Motherboard (CloudFlare), Forbes (Exit relays and Seattle raid) PBS (for Internet documentary--Nick is being interviewed tomorrow), Gizmodo interview with Shari, WBAI radio interview for Shari, spoke to Wired about new Iranian satellite service that distributes Tor software and animation as well as Tails. 6) Spoke to Jake--all is going very well on his trip to island nation; talk went well, he met with only local Tor relay operator and made contacts with local internet freedom community. 7) Published second issue of newsletter for funders and external nontechnical audiences who aren't following Tor closely (different from TWN). 8) Met with nontechnical volunteer David to discuss work. 9) Social media: Tweeting and posting to Facebook. 10) Worked on onion services fact sheet which includes examples of good uses of onion services - still needs work. 11) Want to participate in collaboration with health clinic using onion service to share sensitive info with patients, etc.; asking Tor for a letter indicating we want to collaborate. Requires short "we are collaborating" letter from Shari.

Mike: 1) Talked to Kevin and Matt about the blog. Matt gave us some technical suggestions related to avoiding logging IPs. 2) Figuring out how to handle an OTF about a deliverable with Georg and Isa.

Nick: 1) There will be some work to onboard Jon. Need somebody to spin him up on PGP/XMPP/something so I can start sending him passwords he will need. 2) Handling transition stuff from Katherine's and Tom's departure. This includes email wrangling. 3) Got a UDRP complaint from Joker. Need to send them faxes. Will do on Monday. 4) End-of-month process for deliverables seems to be going well; we will find that we had lots of stuff that just couldn't get finished by EOM. 5) Will be distracted today and tomorrow preparing for interview for internet history documentary; more good work to come in May. 6) Bug retrospective seems very promising; we should maybe spread the other practice so that other teams to do stuff like this. 7) Will try very hard not to be working this weekend. My stress levels are up, and I need to unwind. 8) Helping Isa with reports has gotten easier since we started getting better about tracking sponsors. 9) Haven't made progress migrating us away from SVN for a while. 10) Have made a tiny bit of progress trying code review tools. 11) Hoping that TBB 6.0a5 comes out today so users can test the tor in in.

Isabela: 1) Waiting on a couple of things from Sue Abt: * a) W9 for OONI to get the money for their grant * b) Finance report for sponsorT 2) need to apply changes on how we are reporting things to DRL - they requested this from everyone at the implementers meeting. Done so far: * clean up of the narrative report - need review from Roger (PT part), Nick(Testing part), Shari?(Outreach part) - by review I mean facts (if I missed anything) and English :) * initiated conversation on how to simplify our F-Indicators reports - we have 3 different sets going on... is a big mess that I inherited :( * plan on building a M&E for our project with them * start to look at what is needed to get our extension going for sponsorS contract - to make sure it ends on the right date (EOQ3) 3) working today with Mike on OTF full proposal (2/3 is done already) - -- plan to get it to Roger to give it a LaTex beauty magic by EOW (Chad said is ok to submit it by first week of May) 4) working with Mike and Geko on negotiating with OTF to change a deliverable on our contract 5) working with Nick and Yawning - on defining deliverables for Yawning to work on so we can build a contract with him 6) Richard Brooks want to write a SOI to DRL for a project with he GENI network where we can deploy VMs on it for PT testing, or to run bridges etc - is it useful for us? Do we want to do it?

Alison: 1) finishing up OTF proposal for Torservers.net (worked with Juris and Moritz and other Torservers folks) which aims to build community capacity for Tor relay operators. 2) Kate will put Alison in touch with Forbes reporter who is writing about relay operator stuff2. Started conversation with EFF folks about a community response to CloudFlare issues. 3) Community docs that are still slowly being worked on: social contract, membership doc, and support docs. Alison has had a very very busy two weeks of trainings! But after this week, the membership doc and social contract have been bumped up in priority. 4) Still working to grow the community team! a few more activists and folks on Tor-teachers mailing list have reached out to me, so I hope soon to have a critical mass.

Karsten: 1) Not much to report this week. Trying to keep team members productive by responding to questions and reviewing patches. The CollecTor improvement project is going really well. 2) Globe retirement is going okay. We're creating a list of things to add to Atlas before dumping Globe, but I don't see any major blockers there. 3) Created a graph or two for this week's Sponsor R event.

Shari: 1) This is the last week for Tom and Katherine as Tor Project contractors. We need to offboard them and wish them the best. Hopefully they'll remain active in the Tor community. 2) A lot of new people have started here, and the Seattle office is rocking. I’m planning to send a personnel note around tomorrow to tor-internal. Will include new office contact information. 3) Sent note to DRL about uncoupling TorDev from IFF. Expect to hear back from them this week. 4) We have close to a draft anti-discrimination/anti-harassment policy finished. I will run it by the Vegas team and then distribute to tor-internal.
