== Announcements ==
- Let's start thinking about the Tor meeting in July and if this team
needs any private session (maybe roadmap & retrospective for the
team?)
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2019Stockholm/DailyAgenda
. We can discuss in next weekly meeting.
== Discussion ==
* Revise "Obfuscation" component on trac
* Call it "circumvention" because we do more than just
* "obfuscation"
* Move "Obfsproxy" to the "Archive" component
* Create a new category called "Obfs4"
* Add a "Miscellaneous" or "Other" field
* Anything else?
* Dormant mode and PT's. See dcf's email from December 2018 (sponsor
* 8):
* https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2018-December/013589.html
* [reminder] Is the roadmap up to date with what you are working on
* related to sponsor work?
