Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Conor, Cory, Erik, John, Kevin, Kushal, Nina, Ro
See https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/commit/62bbe590afd77a6af2dcaed46c93da6e0cf40951
- Erik to reach out to Conor for public comms
-
Once files are published by RTD, images are replaced by LFS pointers. Both John and Kevin poked at it; even when we explicitly resolve and verify LFS files, they're still LFS pointers at the time of publication. Could not replicate locally even using their Docker image.
-
Put in a branch that removes LFS tracking for images and restores them to binary blobs.
- John will review https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-docs/pull/239 and will investigate image compression
