https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ufrun1khEo5Cwd6OwngERn829wU3W3eskdrriaYfUBQ/edit#gid=95993070
* Also, let's check for things we need update on our spreadsheet! Are
there important documents we should link to? Things we should
archive?

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TeamRotations
* Community guides, it's time to hand off to the next guide!

== Announcements ==
Tor 0.3.2 will not be supported past 9 October (2 weeks from now):
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorReleases
Here are the Mexico City meeting schedules:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2018MexicoCity/DailyAgenda
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2018MexicoCity/PublicDays
Tor employees, please do timesheets each week, or in the worst case by
the end of the month. The new schema (all network team work goes in
"Network Team") should make this much faster.
== Discussion ==
* Let's defer non-essential tickets from the 0.3.5.x-final milestone
* [dgoulet] asn and I haven't assign needs_review yet. Do we want it
considering Tor meeting or not? If yes, only 035 or not?
* On the meeting:
Are we missing any sessions we need?
Are there any sessions we don't need?
