* Check reviewer assignments at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ufrun1khEo5Cwd6OwngERn829wU3W3eskdrriaYfUBQ/edit#gid=95993070

* Also, let's check for things we need update on our spreadsheet!  Are
there important documents we should link to?  Things we should
archive?

* Check rotations at
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/TeamRotations

* Community guides, it's time to hand off to the next guide!

* Let's look at proposed tickets!

== Announcements ==

* Remember to "/me status: foo" at least once daily.
* Remember that our current code reviews should be done by end-of-week.
* Make sure you are in touch with everybody with whom you are doing
work for the next release!
* The git master branch is now 0.3.5!

== Discussion ==

l
* From last week: Rust build tickets- #25895 needs review/testing
(Catalyst is reviewing again), and #25386 now doesn't have an owner
but is high priority. (NM is taking it on for a bit.)
* How aggressive should we be with our code-movement refactoring stuff?

== Updates ==

Nick:
    Last week:
        - Released new 0.3.4 and 0.3.3 versions
        - Opened the 0.3.5 branch
        - Wrote up plan for refactoring Tor's layout, in a first step
towards modularity: https://pad.riseup.net/p/cJUbdx0c7IzM-keep
        - Made a little progress on fixing up Rust testing issues,
thereby making our CI fail. :)
        - Did a big branch to split (most of) our structures out of
or.h, as a first step in the refactoring thing. (#26383)
    This week:
        - Work on #25386 (rust test linking thing)
        - Try to advance "big patches" thing w/ Taylor.
        - Revise refactoring plan based on comments, and (I hope)
begin splitting src/common
        - Try to learn the state of wtf-pad
        - Try to learn the state of wide create work.  Maybe code some?
        - 0.3.5 ticket triage
        - Community friend rotation

ahf:
    Last week:
        - Went to Mozilla all hands meeting in SF.
        - Looked at some s4 documents we wrote at the end of the
sponsor period for Isa.
        - Looked at MacOS sandboxing after meeting the Mozilla sandbox
people (created #26374)
    This week:
        Sponsor 8:
            - Flesh out plan for PT error reporting. Talk with the
application team and the guardian project if the plan sounds good to
them.
        Misc:
            - Catch up on review backlog.
            - Do post-travel expenses after Seattle and Mozilla all hands
            - CI and Coverity duty (switched with asn last week)

Mike:
    Last week:
        - vacation
    This week:
        - Figure out PETS travel
        - Catch up on email
        - Catch up on trac tickets?
        - Vanguard performance experiments
        - Vanguard packagaing

dgoulet:
  Last week:
    - Reviewed #20700. I'm not done, pretty big ticket (HSv3 client auth).
    - Started review on nickm refactoring (#26383). I should be done soon.
    - Mostly reviewed 034 tickets.
    - Discussed with asn the #24977 solution. We had a back and forth
      review/revision already on it.
  This week:
    - Continue ticket assigned to me in 034. But as a priority, #26383 since
      it is a BIG refactoring. #20700 review for early 035 merge. Then
      outstanding HSv3 open bugs (#24977 and #25552)
    - Authenticated SENDMEs (#26288 - prop289), I would like to go over the
      proposal to see if it is ready to be implemented (in theory it is I
      believe). Ideally, we get an early merge on that as well.
    - I'm not on any rotation this week.

catalyst:
    last week (2018-W24):
        - looked over the or.h refactoring proposal a little
        - tried to fix the rust tests (#26245, #25386, #25378)
        - reviewed #25895 (Rust cross compilation)
    this week (2018-W25):
        - code review
        - #25507 (big contributions) with Nick
        - more work on #25386/#26378 (rust test linking) -- maybe we
want to disable the problem test for now?

komlo (offline):
    - Last Week

- Continued to investiage #24249 (automated mechanism for type

discussion with Roger.
