Participants (alphabetical): Conor (async), Erik, Jen, John, Kevin, Kushal (async), Mickael, Nina, Ro (async)

Topics and Call-outs

  • VM rename: Went with sd-svs -> sd-app; sd-export-usb -> sd-devices, sd-svs-disp -> sd-viewer; see https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation/pull/407 and #285 if you have initial comments
    • Staging VMs need to be renamed, probably sd-app-server and sd-mon-server
  • Support sync? (ro: I don't think we need cross-team support sync this week!)
  • Should we be using Gitter more vs Slack for development conversations?

Conor (async)

Yesterday:

Today:

  • Starting on the RPM signing story, switching to metadata rather than packaging sigs

Nicholas

Today:

  • Submitted PR for latest message preview in source list: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/698 This highlighted #699 which Jen is currently looking into.
  • Continuing to work on inline conversation updates (https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/688). Updating the existing unit tests is taking longer than I expected (I changed a bunch of method signatures and the behaviour of existing tests also has to change to reflect the new implementation). This is mostly done (down to 3 failing tests, started with 20+). I expect this to be finished tomorrow morning at the latest. Will remove "draft" from related PR.

Blockers or Asks:

  • None.
  • Tomorrow will just pick up next ticket on sprint backlog for SD-client. Happy to take suggestions on what I should be doing. Thanks..!
