Project board and spreadsheet should be in sync; as discussed, I've moved unestimated tasks to the backlog for now. That includes several open PRs -- we'll see where we are mid-sprint as we focus on our top priorities.

Hello everybody! Excuse me for stealing your attention.

As anticipated, I'm in the process to found an NGO named Futurama.

As first mission I want to spread SecureDrop in Europe. The target is: 27 installations in 3 years, at least one for each European country.

I'm currently approaching newsrooms to select which one will run "the pilot" (meaning the first installation). The target is to have it running before the end of 2021.

Questions:

would it be helpful for the SD team (or even technically possible) to use Qubes in this pilot?
I would be great if I could talk to someone from FPF to get some insights about the adventure I'm about to start (from the tech AND administration/management stand point). Anything would help, really. Do you think I can book a chat with someone? Who? Also to understand if FPF welcomes this project.

@damko shoot me a note to erik@freedom.press and we'll set up a time to chat?

Hi folks! We'll be doing sprint planning today instead of standup. We'll start in 5 minutes.

Hi everyone :wave: will there be a stand up today?

Conor Schaefer

@conorsch

@gonzalo-bulnes Whoops! Sorry, no, we usually don't meet synchronously on Fridays for standups. Sorry we didn't say as much in here, a few of us are away today

We'll be back at the normally scheduled time on Monday =)

If there's anything you'd like to discuss or request help on, just mention here

Gonzalo Bulnes Guilpain

@gonzalo-bulnes

Ok! No worries! I just thought I'd tag along today. : )

My own update is pretty short: after a chat with @creviera a few weeks ago, I set up my dev environment to start picking up some WS Client cards. I opened a couple of PRs last week (no rush) from a Docker-based setup, and will resume looking into a more elaborate staging on Qubes OS next. I've also a couple of small PRs open in the docs repo, which are not urgent either. To recap, if there is anything that would be specially useful in those two areas at the moment, I'm all ears, otherwise, I'll dive back into setting up a staging in Qubes OS / look for low-hanging fruit in the Client as I familiarize myself with the code.

Thanks all for putting heads together in the update knowledge share we just had. Notes are here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sd-knowledge-share-2021-06-07 , mostly useful to track down the github urls for specific files. Open to suggestions on future knowledge shares (Qubes Workstation or otherwise). We discussed earlier that exploring the https://github.com/freedomofpress/qubes-template-securedrop-workstation logic might be a good next step, building on what we covered today

@gonzalo-bulnes i'm planning to review your PRs this week starting with the tab-ordering issue. i haven't tested your fix yet but it looks like it should close freedomofpress/securedrop-client#693 so you can add this to your pr description if that's the intention

congrats on successfully getting set up with your dev env!

Gonzalo Bulnes Guilpain

@gonzalo-bulnes

Yay! I hadn't seen the issue @creviera - but yes, the description was very similar. Thank you! :tada: 😛 Going for the quick Docker setup was a good advice! :slight_smile:

Strings for the 2.0.0 release have been updated in Weblate (https://weblate.securedrop.org/). We're accepting feedback on source strings until 2021-06-11. The regular translation period begins then and ends on 2021-06-21.

Kevin O'Gorman

@zenmonkeykstop

The release/2.0.0 branch has been created, packages and test plan are in progress. If anyone has cycles to take a look over the current changelog I'd appreciate it!

Just noticed that you want string feedback. I did a PR yesterday with string changes, but didn't mark them as such.

Erik Moeller

@eloquence

Thanks @kwadronaut:systemli.org , we're currently doing an accessibility review of exactly these aspects of the web UIs and Cory (@cfm) will take a look at your PR as part of that :)

rocodes

@rocodes

Just an fyi, I ran into https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/18324 when trying to upgrade a secondary Tails stick from 4.17 to 4.19. We might want to put out an advisory or add to the release notes again.

Kevin O'Gorman

@zenmonkeykstop

good catch @rocodes - release notes for sure

Erik Moeller

@eloquence

@rocodes It looks like Tails' own comms on this are a bit inconsistent. The release notes from 4.19 state:

Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 4.14 or later to 4.19.

But from reading the bug report, it looks like they may have broken again on June 12, after their temporary workaround stopped working. If that is the case, it would be good to have another advisory we can link to.

@rocodes Perhaps you could poke the upstream issue to find out what the current status is, and what communications they advise us to link to?

Erik Moeller

@eloquence

I am also getting the "Error downloading the signing key" error when booting an older Tails release :/
