mcs and brade:
   Last week:
    - Made a triage pass over all of the open Tor Launcher tickets.
[GeKo: would you say you are done with this round of bug triage?  mcs: Yes.]
    - Reviewed the team roadmap. It looks good to us.
    - Reviewed the patch for #25126 (about:tor should work on small
screens).
    - Helped with #25548 (Update macOS SDK for Tor Browser builds to 10.11).
    - Sent email to tbb-dev about some important ESR 60 updater changes.
    - Participated in the Android developer interviews.
    - Participated in the UX/Tor Browser "sync" meeting.
    - Attended the Snowflake meeting (Mark).
  This week:
    - Work on rebasing Tor Browser updater patches for ESR 60.
    - Continue to participate in the Android developer hiring process.
    - Revisit #25509 (Tor browser tells me "A local proxy is needed when
connecting through a company, school, or university network")
               Can we get some input from the UX team?

tjr
 - I have been landing build fixes to MinGW x64 in TaskCluster, but have
not gotten the browser to run.
   I have been focused on getting a version running that has symbols;
which involved creating a separate debug-link file
   for gdb. However, the file I create has some sort of error in it, so
I am building debug versions of gdb to try and understand why
   the generated file is unparseable.


pospeselr

    Last weeK:

    - have a fix for js::GetNativeStackBaseImpl() (#20283), will have a
patch up shortly on trac

    - verified nothing explodes when applied to mozila-central, ran all
tree-herdertests, verified /proc read goes away

    This week:

    - ensure no other file system syscalls are hitting /proc in a way
that would break things

    - revisit #25147

    - something else? (GeKo #25458?)

    - review GK's patches (#21537, #25721)


sysrqb:
    Last week:
        Began rebasing/cherry-picking Orfox patches onto mozilla-central
        The Guardian Project released an Orfox update
        Worked on updating https-everywhere add-on
    This week
        Continue moving Orfox patches onto mozilla-central
        Merge updated https-everywhere add-on (#25603)
        Antonela put me in contact with someone looking
at/researching(?) Tor Browser and HTTP/2

            sysrqb: arthur, I'll loop you in when i get a response, i
don't have any more details yet [arthur: thanks!]


arthuredelstein:
    Last week:
        Continue rebasing to mozilla-beta (future ESR60) (#25543).
Almost there! Asked mcs and brade to help with the updater patches
(thanks!).
        Revised https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24309
(circuit display). The last thing I have to do is get the second
instance of "Guard" to be purple. This turns out to be an NP complete
problem!
    This week:
        Finish and polish the rebasing
        Start working on integrating rebased branch with the TBB build
        Finish up the circuit display


sukhe:

    This week:

    Working on #25483

    https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/25483 (Windows
reproducible build of snowflake)


isabela:
    - trying to finish clean doc with all .onion states
    - final reports to sponsor4
    - remember sync this wed! - follow up on security controls and maybe
a pick on about:tor


igt0:
    Last Week:
        - Worked on #25743, I am able to reproduce however I am not able
to fix since i think it is not a Tor problem
           igt0: Geko, maybe should we contact cloudfare? [GeKo: I'll
look into that, yes]

               [sysrqb: seems like a Google Recaptcha bug/problem. i
wonder if we can reproduce this on any other site directly serving
recapcha. ]

         igt0: sysrqb: I tried on
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo when the JS is enabled it
says that the browser is not supported

        - Fixed issues appointed in the #25126
    This Week:
        - #25703
