[Antoine Beaupré]

There was no meeting this month, here's a short technical report.

# Important announcements

Those are important announcements you might have missed:

 * fpcentral will be [retired][] on October 20th 2021, you are
   encouraged to use EFF's [Cover Your Tracks][] or [TorZillaPrint][]
   instead, see [ticket 40009][] for background
 * if you have a precious wiki page from Trac that redirects to some
   place no one can edit, [we welcome proposals on proper places to
   redirect those pages][]
 * we have a reliable [procedure to rename Git branches][] (e.g. to
   rename from `master` to `main`) globally
 * we set up a new onionbalance server so we can provide also v3 onion
   (balanced) services for all of our static websites.  See 
   <https://onion.torproject.org/> /

Yes, the Icebox is still filling up. Hopefully this will get resolved
soon-ish.

   week)
 * closed: completed work
