[Karsten Loesing]

Notes for December 21 2017 meeting:

isabela:
1) we need Tor weatherperson - someone to keep an eye on the network and
see what relay is misbehaving, or when metrics starts to go crazy and
dig in to figure out ssup. Or in other words someone to do what dgoulet
has been doing on the top of everything else he does
2) after traveling and non-stop meetings (very productive btw) together
with my computer breaking - I got behind on some work but I hope to get
those done specially the priorities: emailbundle+onionservices otf
proposal, Sida work plan and sponsor4 invoice reports
3) will be in SF jan 2nd to 5th working from somewhere (not sure where
yet) in case ppl want to meet.
4) Roadmaps! - how are teams with coordination with other teams for
dependencies etc?

Roger:
1) Israel talks went well. I visited Palestine too. Though now I'm sick.
2) I've rebooted the "circumvention pass-through funding" discussion.
3) Alison, Steph, should we do the transition of frontdesk to an alias?
Anything still blocking that? (Answer: they figured out a way to make rt
more fun to use, so need to switch it to an alias at this time.]

Alison:
1) recruiting for Library Freedom Institute
(libraryfreedomproject.org/lfi) !!!!! and working on curriculum design.

contact me.
2) Pari is ready to start sending user issues updates to
tor-project at lists.torproject.org.
3) Phoul and I are adding more to the support portal content based on
what Pari found.
4) working on relay ops wiki with Phoul, nusenu, irl and others
(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/OperatorsTips and

problems with getting our downloads page translated

Steph:
1) Campaigned hard to raise 5k to see someone eating an onion in the Tor
office. We got $20,000 (not counting Mozilla’s match). The Seattle
office filmed, and I edited. We sent an email and tweeted almost hourly
2) Tommy, Shari, and I are finishing up final EOY fundraising items.
3) I’ll be creating a one pager on Tor which dispels “dark web” concerns
for donors to use internally to be ready end of Jan/ early Feb.

with social media

1) Changed ExoneraTor to only serve completed dates, which excludes the
current day and the day before that.
2) Released Onionoo 5.0-1.9.0 which removes $ from fingerprints in
family fields.
3) Changed metrics-web from being a Tomcat web application to shipping
with an embedded Jetty.

development for new contributors.

time for a useful response.

Nick:
1) Working on DoS issues, trying not to have extra work looming over us
for next week.
2) I've nearly lost track of roadmap stuff; going to spend any remaining
time this week on organizing things for early 2018.
