What's done, and what's coming up?
We're using a kanban board:
https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/core/tor/boards
* Check reviewer assignments! How reviews from last week worked? Any
blocker?
Here are the outstanding reviews, oldest first, including sbws

== Reminders ==
* 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 releases.
* Remember to fill up the 'actual point' field when you close a ticket.
We need those to calculate velocity.
* Check other's people call for help in their entries.
* When you are overloaded, it is ok to say "no" to things.
* And it is ok to reschedule things.
