Sprint Planning Meeting, SecureDrop, October 23, 2019

Sprint timeframe: Beginning of Day (PDT) 2019-10-23 to Beginning of Day (PDT) 2019-11-06

0) Retrospective

What we said we would do:

SecureDrop Core: Release SecureDrop 1.1.0

Sprint goal fully met:

  • SecureDrop 1.1.0 released on a tight QA timeline (including docs updates), in time for Tails 4 upgrade.

SecureDrop Workstation: Export/USB detection fixes, fix showstopper bugs

Sprint goal partially met:

  • Exports now handled on separate thread, small UI fixes landed
  • Progress on further debugging lsblk/lsusb behavior, but no firm solution yet
  • Landed fix for download showstopper bug
  • Instituted regular face-to-face meetings to resolve UX questions & prioritize polish issues

Additional accomplishments:

  • Landed UI fix for non-English locales
  • Landed qrexec policy changes (community PRs by @pierwill)
  • Landed SD client deletion fix (community PR by @deeplow)

Other feedback/comments:

  • Big win for documentation. Apt backend, storing build logs. Release process overall is more transparent now. +1
  • Very smooth localisation/translation merge, even if it was done on release day. We added 2 languages +1 to this
    • As always, this had much to do with Erin. She got the Slovak reviewer going.
  • When we have a release during a sprint it's often all hands on deck, we might want to consider switching to a kanban style for that period. what do y'all think? +1(someone has to explain kanban style)
    • Action: Check in close to 1.2.0 release sprint
