[tor-project] Notes from June 28 2018 Vegas team meeting

[Karsten Loesing]

Notes for June 28 2018 meeting:

Roger:
1) Should we collect and then maintain a list of who else in the world
has Tor related funding? That way we can coordinate better at helping
amplify their impact, and also remember to invite them to dev meetings,
etc. [Answer: yes good idea in theory, but we'd need a responsible
person to keep track of the list. We'll think on it.]

Georg:
1) Our first Tor Browser alpha based on Firefox 60 ESR is out. The
process was painful but the result seems to stick. \o/
2) Got back to OTF regarding our bug bounty program

Arturo:
1) Made some progress on coming up with a scheme for OONI measurement
IDs. See:
https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-pipeline/blob/master/docs/ooni-uuid.md

Shari:
1) We've been doing screenings for fundraising director candidates.

3) Worked on, and working on, more job descriptions and reading resumes.
4) Lots of little stuff in preparation for transitioning Isa; also
getting caught up on a bunch of stuff.
5) FYI, I'll be doing this:
