  Last week:
   - We got #20657 merged upstream! That's a huge part of prop224!!!
   - Fixed a few bugs in the client-side branch (#17242) and it's now
in needs_review for Nick. See #17242 for more details.
   - Found a few more #20657 bugs and fixed them in branch

comment of #17242 for more
     details.
   - Pushed fix for #23233 -- bug found by haxxpop.

  This week:
   - This week will be more prop224 testing, debugging and bug fixing.
We know there are a few more bugs on our prop224 codebase that we need
to fix and this is a good time to hunt them down.
   - Address any review points by Nick on #17242 etc.
   - I will be AFK tomorrow and most of Wednesday. Will be back on Thursday.

        -vacation
    this week:
        - I wont be at the meeting because I am still on vacation but
back tomorrow (tues 22)
        - I have a question to the team regarding mcs/brade wish list
for Tor Launcher progres bar:
https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-client-progress / TB team needs to start
building the new experience: https://marvelapp.com/3f6102d so we need
to know: 1. What the network team can do on this list? and 2. how long
it will take?
        - I also have a question to isis (but I know they won't be
online till after the
22nd)re:https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15967 which is
another dependency the TB team has in order to build that experience.
(obs: their deadline to build it is EOM November).
        - Once I am back from vacation I plan on picking up some
sponsor4 reports of completed deliverables
        - Got an answer from Nick re:PT community meeting organized by
Internews in Boston. I will ask them what days are more important for
us to participate to see how we can do it.
