Discussion:
What to do about the Mozilla team meeting Wens nights
Worth making a separate one? Probably can just use this one for now.
GSOC Projects?
tjr intends to keep the Crash Reporter one up; but took down the
'Making Tor Browser faster' one
Will ask Shari for cloud resources if we get anyone
tjr:
Spectre Stuff
I'm working on Timer stuff, taking a lot of my time
Moz intends to pursue Fuzzyfox, might land (off or on) somewhere in
the post-60 timeframe.
JIT Mitigations landing in 59: children of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1430049
MinGW
Going to try and get back in front of this for 60.
Beginning with Sandbox uplift, children of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230910 for tracking
Also trying to uplift these all the way to chromium
Besides Sandbox, what is and is not high-priority for me to uplift
in 60 for build stuff?
Yes: Get the #&$(@& thing running:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1411401
Yes but not me: Stylo
Yes: x64 Patches
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/patch/?id=5aa8644
Any others?
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/patch/?id=ba9e5d6 <-
don't need this
Yes: Fix the TaskCluster integration on not-central-trees
Ideally: jemalloc https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1420350
Ideally: x64 in Task cluster
No: WebRTC
Discussed Rome in the Sandboxing meeting
Related/Unrelated, the timeframe for
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322426 WAS 'Behind a pref
in 61, enable for release in 63' but is now "This will not be happening
in the near term, due to staffing changes. It’s not yet clear when or
if this will occur."
Will need to re-triage Mozilla bugs and plans =(
Have a lot of 'For 60' things to work on, so if you have some of
those yourself, please let me know.
My intention is to search for the whiteboard tags [tor OR
fingerprinting which gives this list:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=sw%3A%5Btor%20OR%20fingerprinting&list_id=13978086

Last week:

(Temporarily allow all this page and New Identity).

Planned for this week:

#24432 (meek/Moat tunnel) .

integration code out for review.
- Work on #24578 (about:tbupdate popup notification formatting
error).

properly with platform specific checks).

outdated tickets).

- Verify why torbutton-logger is not printing debug messages in
the console (mobile)
