== Stuff to do every week =
* Let's check the 0.4.1 release status page.
See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorReleases/041Status
(This page automatically shows the latest trac ticket status.)
* Let's check and update the roadmap.
What's done, and what's coming up?
We're using a kanban board:
https://storm.torproject.org/shared/_mx8PMGOHFBOximocl1gy3COvhLPr6k3Ja7JA1vNIXr
Click on 'all boards' and then the network team one. Filter by
your name and check the 'in progress' column is correct.
* Check reviewer assignments! How reviews from last week worked? Any blocker?
Here are the outstanding reviews, oldest first, including sbws
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=needs_review&component=Core+Tor%2FTor&or&status=needs_review&component=Core+Tor%2Fsbws&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=changetime&col=reviewer&col=keywords&order=changetime
Any blocker from last week?
== 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.

CI/coverity
catalyst -> catalyst & teor
coverity
the defect browser was down last week; it seems to be back now
(Waiting on update after merging coverity fixes: Coverity does not
seem to have noticed 30150 yet.)
Looking at coverity -- it seems our builds may have been stuck. I've
cancelled the stuck builds. Also, they say they are going to have a
planned outage to upgrade their backend, starting today and lasting
about 3-4 days. Friday would be a good day to have another look. -nm
stuff got unstuck on 28 Jun or maybe earlier? -catalyst
Correct; we've been getting updates since then. I opened tickets for
the first day's updates; there are more I hope to get to soon.
jenkins
some intermittent failures that could be network-related
Travis
teor did some work on stem failures, we need to add a control message
trace to tor to diagnose (#30901)
waiting for catalyst's advice, because they are refactoring this code
Appveyor
Bug triage
ahf -> asn
Things are looking OK asfaik.
catalyst asks if we want to re-evaluate
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31081 or stay with
"make the spec match the code"
Please give feedback on proposal 306: IPv6 "Happy Eyeballs" for Tor clients
