Notes for December 21 2017 meeting:

isabela: 1) we need Tor weatherperson - someone to keep an eye on the network and see what relay is misbehaving, or when metrics starts to go crazy and dig in to figure out ssup. Or in other words someone to do what dgoulet has been doing on the top of everything else he does 2) after traveling and non-stop meetings (very productive btw) together with my computer breaking - I got behind on some work but I hope to get those done specially the priorities: emailbundle+onionservices otf proposal, Sida work plan and sponsor4 invoice reports 3) will be in SF jan 2nd to 5th working from somewhere (not sure where yet) in case ppl want to meet. 4) Roadmaps! - how are teams with coordination with other teams for dependencies etc?

Roger: 1) Israel talks went well. I visited Palestine too. Though now I'm sick. 2) I've rebooted the "circumvention pass-through funding" discussion. 3) Alison, Steph, should we do the transition of frontdesk to an alias? Anything still blocking that? (Answer: they figured out a way to make rt more fun to use, so need to switch it to an alias at this time.]

We sent an email and tweeted almost hourly 2) Tommy, Shari, and I are finishing up final EOY fundraising items. 3) I’ll be creating a one pager on Tor which dispels “dark web” concerns for donors to use internally to be ready end of Jan/ early Feb. 4) Scheduling content to go out over the break.
