📖 Learning time:

  • See "other sprint commitments" column on project board

Next SecureDrop Core release:

Option 1: Hold a SecureDrop 1.8.1 point release window for improvements that will ease migrations to Ubuntu 20.04, with 1 week QA period. Plausible release date: 2021-04-13 (starting QA after this sprint).

  • Arguments in favor:
    • We already have identified some improvements and more may come from first migrations.
    • We want to get off Xenial ASAP; keeping 1.8.x the last Xenial release series would help accomplish that.

Option 2: Release SecureDrop 1.8.1/1.9.0 only if necessary, otherwise go straight for 2.0.0.

Option 3: Release SecureDrop 1.9.0 on Tails release schedule (2021-04-20) with misc. fixes and improvements.

ACTION: After discussion, we've settled on Option 1 for now -- a point release. We can decide not to release if we don't have a sufficient number of fixes landed, but we've tentatively scheduled 1.8.1 for April 13, 2021.

3) Agree upon top 3 priorities for the next two weeks

  1. Finalize and land key deliverables for potential SecureDrop 1.8.1 release:

  1. Restore reproducibility for SecureDrop Workstation build artifacts and update documentation

  2. Finalize design for SecureDrop Client Safe Deletion and begin implementation

4) Select and estimate tasks
