Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Conor, Erik, Jen, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mike, Mickael, Nina

Topics and Call-outs

  • Release roles for 0.12.1

    • Heartsucker has been asked if he wants to be 0.12.1 RM :-)
    • Deputy RM is Kevin Note: Kevin is not a maintainer, so will have to work via fork
    • Kushal is Localization Manager
    • John is Deputy LM (will need Weblate account, we can then give him permissions to accept reviewer suggestions)
    • RM and Deputy RM decide on QA leadership responsibilities

  • Another issue from 0.12.1 milestone to pull into the sprint: IMPORT_OK error on first submission (harmless but should be fixed). See https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/4202

  • Tor asks: "Would it be helpful to disable XSS feature by default" - yep

  • e1000e driver: Kev's research indicates that upstream changes likely required. What, if any, immediate steps do we want to take during this sprint?

  • Roadmap is updated for SecureDrop core (i.e. not workstation/client yet) next couple of release series: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/wiki/Development-Roadmap

    • Focus is on critical/must do tasks for maintenance, i.e. getting off Python 2, and CI/testing/dev friction improvements

  • Tmux fix for existing instances - worth adding in securedrop-config?

  • We have been planning for some time to move some additional docs from our private risk register into the SecureDrop documentation, Olivia and Mickael have done some great work to this end and it's now in PR form here, feel free to peruse it and comment: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/4244
