== 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.
