[ooni-dev] detailed meeting notes 2013-07-08

[Meredith Whittaker]

Thanks for taking notes!

I'll be reviewing the threat model from an M-Lab perspective and adding git
issues, as is custom. I plan to make time for this before the end of this
week. If anyone has any specific questions I can answer before then, don't
hesitate.

Cheers!
M
