Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Erik, Jen, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mickael, Nina (async), Ro

Topics and Call-outs

  • Jen: why is make all taking so long? do we know?

    • it could be sys-whonix does not have a connection or it is not running
    • Allie: For me it was stuck on SecureDrop Workstation VM provisioning. When I added sd-journalist.sec file, it got unstuck. Similar situations has come up with multiple VMs. Ctrl+C should kill all workers. -> Need to check sd-journalist.sec existence (log issue) -> General audit of Salt / Makefile

  • Debrief from Tor meeting (see https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2019Stockholm/Notes )

    • Beyond v2/v3 discussions, other topics of interest included
      • potential of using HTTPSEverywhere rules to have human-readable .onion names, maybe SD would ship those rules
      • a lot of DoS attacks against .onion services, no mitigations yet
    • Almost everyone highlights the SecureDrop use case as a positive example
    • Branding discussions at Tor meeting -- who gets to use Tor/"Onion" names for what. Badges or other ways to communicate risks were discussed.

  • Jen: v3 migration draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DLMFY4GmVlGZGMZRd_F_Te3DkawQfT_eLbvYlG0aw0s/edit

  • Kushal: Need to talk about dh-virtualenv and how we are consuming it.

  • Kushal: Build logs storage for the final release builds (suggestion from rootconf)

  • Jen: HTTPS everywhere rulesets for SecureDrop (from Tor meeting discussion)
