Sprint Planning Meeting 2018 07 25

Sprint Planning Meeting, SecureDrop, July 25, 2018

What did we get done? What do we want to change?

Great: Improved velocity, one big win (API landed), huge progress towards grsec templates, lots of work on UI prototype.
Not so great: Major delivery problems with functional testing work. Difficult to debug CI failures. Can we improve scoping of tasks? Smaller workflow meeting tomorrow to drill in.
Kushal: As I started working on the TBB, I focused on getting tests passing. When I started to move things into container, everything started to break in CI. Discovered problems related to versioning, noted in different issues: Selenium/Tor/Firefox/Gecko driver. Errors that came out with page_layout test cases. Suggested that we should run tests against local system, not against Tor network.

Ensure we capture PTO/holidays (incl international).
