Sprint Planning Meeting, SecureDrop, May 20, 2020

Sprint timeframe: Beginning of Day (PDT) 2020-05-20 to Beginning of Day (PDT) 2020-06-03

0) Retrospective

What we said we would do:

  • Release SecureDrop 1.3.0

Goal met. See release retro: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/wiki/Tech-Meeting-Notes-2020-05-14

  • QA and release SecureDrop Client 0.2.0 and SecureDrop Proxy 0.3.0

Goal not met, but RC/nightlies ready for testing.

  • Get a fedora-31 PR close to release-ready

Goal partially met, with rigorous testing of migration pending.

Additional accomplishments during this sprint:

  • Team handled stressful release successfully;
  • Preflight QA uncovered Tails updater issue which was resolved before it hit users;
  • New docs build process for https://docs.securedrop.org/ is likely to significantly reduce risk of users using outdated instructions;
  • Resolved versioning/update strategy for workstation RPM builds;
  • Resolved release blocker level regression in SD Client handling of missing reply keys on initial sync: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/pull/1092

Additional team comments:

  • Progress on structured testing reports for sharing results with team members
  • Should we start branching to into release/* branches for SDW component repos?
    • Jen: nightlies built off master, which means we effectively have RC packages
    • Conor: may be more relevant for securedrop-workstation RPMs then, where we don't have nightlies
