Standup Notes 2020 12 01
Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Conor, Erik, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mickael, Ro
(Kev) I did install a while ago, it was pretty anticlimactic. See https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/issues/640 - we can wait for next RC or final release.
Once https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/1191 lands, we are unblocked on release. Planning a release for early next week.
(Conor) On Thursday, during time slot for engineering meeting we'll be talking about "leveling" of engineering positions at FPF - how we structure titles (e.g. "Senior"). Not asking for changes, hoping to talking it out & hash out consensus. Note this will be an internal meeting.
(Mickael) In Focal test PR, there was a configuration change from systemd-resolvd to resolv.conf (what we use on Xenial), to unbreak DNS system-wide. This is part of PR https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/5638
