Release feedback and mini-retro

  • Highest degree of delegation we've ever done on a release!
  • One of the earlier shipping times—releases often go very late in the day, particularly for anyone not in PT. We're improving.
  • Team coordination was smooth, which is grand, because we'll likely do another point release in 0.12.2
  • Kev already opened an issue for running testinfra against prod, that sounds grand, would complement TBB testing
  • considering better ways to manage profusion of HW test scenarios - individual tickets?
  • We need that automated Tor browser based tests in CI, otherwise too much time taken in testing the basic steps. (kushal)
1) Special topic: Q2 Goal for the SecureDrop team (April-June)

What is the most important thing we must accomplish by July 1?

Have SecureDrop Workstation and client ready for planned pilot

How do we know that we have accomplished it?

  • Clean-up of Qubes templates and provisioning logic, testing with most recent release of Qubes
  • Air-gap signed beta1 release that satisfies pilot requirements by end of June
  • Research plan for pilot participants completed by end of June
