[tor-project] Notes from October 19 2017 Vegas team meeting

[Karsten Loesing]

Notes for October 19 2017 meeting:

Georg:
1) Preparing Tor Browser 7.0.7 and 7.5a6 with the updated donation
campaign code
2) Working on getting the roadmap updated with all the team dependencies

Nick:
0) What a great meeting!
1) Internews PT meeting on monday/tuesday seemed to go okay; I think
they're likely to adopt practices resulting in convergence on a stable
PT 2.x design.
2) Probably not here today; after 9 days of meetings, I need a break.
3) Network team did a draft roadmap. We included items that depend on,
or that will affect, other teams.

Arturo:
1) Published a report on censorship in Pakistan in collaboration with
Bytes for All:
https://ooni.torproject.org/post/pakistan-internet-censorship/
2) We are migrating our email from runbox to GSuite
3) Updated 4 tests lists:
https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/241,
https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/242
4) We are going to publish tomorrow a blog post about the OONI team
gathering
5) Started experimenting with gatsby and contentful for revamping our
website: https://github.com/openobservatory/ooni-website/tree/gatsby,
found a bunch of bugs in gatsby, may not end up using it.
6) Created a repository containing licenses for OONI software:
https://github.com/openobservatory/legal. Does anybody know some good
friendly lawyers we could reach out to regarding the licensing of data?
7) Began adding support for the new OONI API to OONI Explorer:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-explorer/pull/119
8) Following discussion with metrics and TBB teams we started adding
support for extracting tor related metrics inside of ooni-pipeline:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-pipeline/pull/98
9) My interview for an Italian TV program is available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDZNqYiiYfo. I also explain what Tor is
and how it works. (retweet if you wish:
https://twitter.com/OpenObservatory/status/920941902408626178)
10) Making some progress on OONI Probe 3.0:
https://github.com/OpenObservatory/ooniprobe-cli
11) The deployment process of our website has levelled up. When a branch
is merged into master, travis will automatically build it and push it to
staging. Deploying it is then just a matter of running a simple script
(this could be improved)

isabela:
1) followed via jitsi some of the workshops and sessions of Montreal meeting
2) worked on responding OTF design proposal (deadline oct 24th) -
getting sponsor8 stuff updated and adding modularization proposal to it

3) Organizing inter-team roadmap review / dependencies check:
