== Stuff to do every week =
* Let's check and update the roadmap. What's done, and what's coming up?
We're using a kanban now: https://storm.torproject.org/shared/_mx8PMGOHFBOximocl1gy3COvhLPr6k3Ja7JA1vNIXr
* Check reviewer assignments!
Here are the needs-review tickets, by reviewer:

Here are the outstanding reviews, oldest first:

Including sbws:

* 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
Core Tor/sbws is now part of the bug triage, CI, and reviewer assignment roles
== 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 actual point when you finish a task (as well as update the estimate when starting the issue).
* Add planned PTO to the calendar https://storm.torproject.org/shared/ISA5L5nH0Xu88iqSCx9ZjCXYSMKOBTdbUeWarbdGmxx
* Check other's people call for help in their entries.
-------------------------------
---- 25 February 2019
-------------------------------
== Announcements ==
- The master branch is now 0.4.1.x; 0.4.0 development will continue in maint-0.4.0.
- No more backports to 0.3.3; support ends on Thursday!
- Tor was not accepted for GSoC this year.
== Discussion ==
When we assign reviews, can we skip people who are on leave?
=== Tor Meeting ===
- Brainstorming Tor meeting invites - is there anyone that we're
working with a lot that we want to make sure is invited?
=== Policy planning ===
* We don't have a great way to set and adopt development/support policies. How would we feel about this:
Let's have policies start out as "draft". If we think a policy could maybe
work out, let's call it "experimental", post it publicly, and try it out for
a limited amount of time. And then let's see whether we need to amend it or adopt
it or discard it entirely based on network-team rough consensus.
[leftover from last week]
* Next steps with getting ourselves a merge policy?
