sporadically to follow. Post on our site + at H1 (great q&a with gk!).

more to follow.
2) Still working with Giant Rabbit on our newsletter. Should be on the
last step: creating a form for people to subscribe directly and feed

at least 1/week. Maintaining other posting schedules: linkedin: 1/wk.
twitter: 3-6/day. fb: 1-2day.

more in depth goals / strategy to come.
5) Creating templates. Have ppt, docx, pages. Need to create odf versions.
6) Working back through press inquiries, compiling press list and
published articles.

Georg:
1) I worked on the bug bounty program launch. Thanks to all who helped
getting this finally going.
2) Hiring process for desktop browser dev seems to move forward pretty
well. Worked on the mobile browser dev descriptions as well. Isa: What
needs to be done to move those forward? (I guess we wait on input from
Nathan and/or Mike)?
3) I spent some time looking at the GSoC project related to Tor Browser

1) The OONI Partner gathering went very well and so did CLSI (CitizenLab
Summer Institute)
2) I am going to be away on vacation from the 26th of July until 11th of
August.
3) The beta version of the measurements API is live:
https://measurements-beta.ooni.io/ and the re-engineering pipeline has
been generating the data for it and running since a week or so. We hope
to be able to deprecated the legacy pipeline in a couple of months.
4) We are a bit late with the ooniprobe-mobile app release and are still
wrapping up some of the remaining dev work to be done for that
5) For sending push notifications and showing messages in the mobile app
of users we have setup a CMS that seems to suck less than others
(https://getgrav.org/). May be of interest to infrastructure people.
