I could imagine that people are traveling or preparing for traveling, so maybe this will be a short meeting. 14:02:50 I came up with two agenda items: 14:03:56 a) preparing for berlin, which may include things we shouldn't miss if people won't be in berlin. 14:04:33 hmm, maybe there's a better way to phrase that: if you won't come to berlin, what should we not forget to discuss on your behalf? 14:04:47 b) another round of 1-1-1 task exchange. 14:05:04 anything else you'd like to talk about today, phw? 14:05:48 nothing on my agenda 14:06:03 ok. let's give people a few for minutes to join us? 14:06:07 sounds good 14:08:44 well, okay, let's start with a). 14:09:08 I think we'll be talking about teams in berlin, and I hope to talk about the measurement roadmap in particular. 14:09:27 anything you have in mind that we shouldn't miss? (you're not coming, right?) 14:10:51 i'm not coming, no. 14:10:56 :( 14:11:15 i'll have to re-read the roadmap and might have some ideas. 14:11:38 cool. if you come up with something, please let me know! 14:11:43 i will 14:12:41 also if something else comes to mind that you'd want to say and that I'll say on your behalf next thursday. (I'm planning to hold the next team meeting on thursday at 16:00 cest in person.) 14:13:08 on to b) 1-1-1: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/O6TCKaTQ2j 14:13:23 you can tell them "phw says hi" 14:13:34 I wonder, did you receive feedback on sybilhunter? 14:13:37 will do. :) 14:13:43 yep, sean had a look at it 14:13:57 okay, great. so we can call that item done? 14:14:01 yes 14:14:23 any new tasks from you? 14:14:41 * karsten doesn't have new tasks right now. 14:16:01 oh, i just saw your "fetch stuff from collector" task. that sounds useful. 14:16:11 * phw might be a possible culprit because he fetched plenty of data from collector. 14:16:58 sounds useful as in you're curious to hear the result or you'd want to look into it? 14:17:28 it would be useful for people who want to mirror lots of data from collector. 14:18:05 i also still owe you some changes on the measurement roadmap document. 14:18:16 yep. to be clear, I don't know how much load collector.tpo gets. so I don't know how much of a problem this is. 14:18:24 I'm just thinking we should save resources where we can. 14:18:59 feedback on the roadmap would be great, ideally before monday. :) 14:19:16 still useful afterwards, but if it comes in before monday we'd be able to talk about it in berlin. 14:19:28 right, i think i can do that. 14:19:33 should we try to find somebody else for wget/curl? 14:19:48 maybe you can convince folks at the meeting. 14:20:14 probably, but only if I remember to bring that up. let me try here first: 14:20:36 anybody up for this fine task? 14:20:39 Write a short tutorial for fetching descriptors from the CollecTor website using wget, curl, etc. that doesn't put unnecessary load on the CollecTor server. Example: `wget --quiet --recursive --reject "index.html*" --reject "relay-descriptors/votes/" --reject "relay-descriptors/microdescs/" --no-parent --no-host-directories --directory-prefix in https://collector.torproject.org/recent/`. That mini tutor 14:20:44 ial would be put on https://collector.torproject.org/ or one of its subpages. 14:21:39 okay, anything else we should talk about today? 14:21:55 not from my side. 14:22:36 ok. then let's end this meeting early. and whoever thinks the above task sounds interesting, just ping me later. 14:22:41 thanks for coming, phw! 14:22:45 #endmeeting
