== Stuff to do every week =
* How are we managing CI failures from last week?
See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CIFailures
* Let's check the 0.4.0 release status page.
See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorReleases/040Status
(This page automatically shows the latest trac ticket status.)
* Let's check and update the roadmap.
What's done, and what's coming up?
We're using a kanban board:
https://storm.torproject.org/shared/_mx8PMGOHFBOximocl1gy3COvhLPr6k3Ja7JA1vNIXr
Click on 'all boards' and then the network team one. Filter by
your name and check the 'in progress' column is correct.
* Check reviewer assignments! How reviews from last week worked? Any blocker?
Here are the outstanding reviews, oldest first, including sbws

Any blocker from last week?
== Reminders ==
* Remember to "/me status: foo" at least once daily.
* Remember that our current code reviews should be done by end-of-week.
* Make sure you are in touch with everybody with whom you are doing
work for the next releases.
* Remember to fill up the 'actual point' field when you close a
ticket. We need those to calculate velocity.

---- 6th May 2019

== Announcements ==
- The master branch is now 0.4.1.x; 0.4.0 development will continue in
maint-0.4.0.
We need to prioritize 0.4.0 fixes and reviews in April, because stable
was due on 15 April.
== Discussion ==
Rotation updates:
Bug triage - dgoulet to ahf
The Bug Triage role description and queries is on the wiki at:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TeamRotations#ActiveWeeklyroles
CI - asn to catalyst
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CIFailures
- One issue with Travis appeared on tor.git's master and was
solved quickly by Nick.
Coverity - asn to catalyst
One issue appeared. Opened ticket #30328 (CID: 1444769) - we think it
might be a false positive, but the Coverity scan site is not working
right now. Reached out to them on Twitter to see if it can be fixed.
[In other news, coverity scan seems to have TLS issues that are
keeping nick's automatic updates from working. If anybody can provide
a correct incantation to "curl https://scan.coverity.com/ " in a way
that works, that would rock. -nickm]
Other discussion:
Are we ready for 0.4.0.x-stable?
