[tor-project] Tor Browser team meeting notes, 11 Dec 2017

[Georg Koppen]

Hi!

We finally switched to the network-team meeting type where only the
discussion is logged by meetbot and all the status updates are on the
pad. For transparency and easier cross-team collaboration we'll send out
weekly meeting notes including both the meetbot log and our status
updates to the tor-project as well.

The meeting transcript is available at:
http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2017/tor-meeting.2017-12-11-18.59.log.txt

The notes are below:
