Notes for February 8 2018 meeting:

Arturo: 1) Published a blog post on mining OONI data: https://ooni.torproject.org/post/mining-ooni-data/ 2) Correcting more assignments submitted from the participants of the upcoming OONI workshop we'll be doing in Uganda 3) Started trying out, as an alternative path for the upcoming OONI Probe desktop apps, using golang. See: https://github.com/openobservatory/gooni 4) Established new partnerships with IPYS Venezuela and with ADC Argentina

Alison: 1) The relay guide is up on the blog and it looks amazing! https://blog.torproject.org/new-guide-running-tor-relay Tons of people worked on this, but nusenu in particular brought it over the finish line. 2) Library Freedom Institute applications are in for the first round. We got 70 applicants for 10 spots! We will announce our first cohort in March. 3) Recruiting many rad guest lecturers for LFI :D 4) It looks like the team meeting day schedule is complete? https://ethercalc.org/zil3cf5nm9ge 5) Sponsor9 job descriptions and workplan -- Isa, do you want to schedule some time to do this/talk about this? 6) Code of Conduct and Statement of Values discussions are still ongoing, so I'm going to keep them open as long as they need to be. 7) a bunch of us met yesterday to plan for HOPE. I'm waiting to hear back from the conference organizers about getting some space for us to do workshops and hang out. 8) Do or Die time for the support portal :) ....double checking the content and testing the heck out of the site 9) preparing to speak at Barnard and at the NYU Tor meetup this coming week 10) Rome Meeting Onion Report/State of the Onion plenary. Do we want to have stations for each team/project, or one big introductory talk where someone from each team talks about the work? Some ideas are in this pad: https://pad.riseup.net/p/Rome-SOTO-plenary

Roger: 1) I have an updated plan for my eye that I'm trying out in Feb, in hopes of trying it out in March too. 2) I've been continuing to help with the network overload issues, and dabbling in some Tor tickets. We have some more fixes to do before an 0.3.3.2-alpha can come out, with the ddos defenses in it. 3) On my mind still: job descriptions for relay coordinator, and for Snowflake developer, and for circumvention team lead 4) The Penn circumvention project thing is still on track to happen "soon". 5) I'm off to NYC on Sunday for various Tor speaking things. 6) I'm working to find a way to get to Rome a few days early, to help Isa et al with pre-roadmapping.

Georg: 1) Miscellaneous.

Karsten: 1) Put out Onionoo 5.0-1.10.0 and .1 with long-expected graph fixes for Relay Search. 2) Started a discussion about publishing bridge contact information on tor-relays@. 3) Merged the CollecTor webstats module, but did not deploy it yet due to newly found memory issues with bulk imports of existing data on webstats.tp.o.

Nick: 1) Working on releases. Release engineering has taken over my brain. 2) Continuing education: learning coq via mit subject 6.822. we should encourage others to do continuing education stuff somehow.

Shari: 1) Getting ready for board meeting next week. 2) Lots of Rome meeting planning. 3) Editing a number of things for Tommy. 4) Have to get a new budget to Sida. 5) Talking with Laura at DRL later today. 6) Trying to take vacation next week (other than board meeting).
