Topics and Call-outs

1.7.0

Release issue: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/5689

• Fix for AppArmor issue: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/5705

  • Kev has opened PR to update GitHub template for PRs

  • Mickael suggests additional automated testing of AppArmor profile, will open issue. Possibly also more reliance on functional tests

• Allie will do NUC7 testing today; Kev will do NUC8 testing

• Translation proceeding; translators have seen Weblate announcement. L10Nlab is busy w/ Signal translation, but things are underway. Three languages have been completely translated.

• Timing on RC2?

  • Kev: Let's proceed with RC1 for now; can patch AppArmor manually if needed to proceed through test plan

  • John: I think we'll probably hit it in a few more places

  • Kev: In that case I suggest doing manual patch before you step through test plan

  • Mickael: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/5705

  • John: One more line pending to the above ^^, please hold, will ping

  • Conor: Voting for RC2 once 5705 is merged

  • That's what we'll do, and Conor will do a bit more testing on RC1

Public developer comms

Proposal: Now that we have a notifications-only Slack channel, try using Gitter/Element as primary "chat" room for a month

(We'll discuss a bit more Tuesday+)
