onyinyang: 2023-07-25
        Last week(s):
                - FOCI/PETS online
                - Working on tor-browser integration with updated lox-wasm 
binary: 
                        - switched back to building modules and using them with 
a downloaded Tor browser
                                - tor-browser-build was mixing up inputs for 
one function which caused the module to error at load time, flipping them seems 
to have fixed the error
                        - updating Lox module for key rotation logic
                        - Identified that the lastPassed variable is not 
working as expected for Lox: 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/rdsys/-/issues/209 and is 
probably the reason behind this issue: 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/-/milestones/1#tab-issues
        Next week:
                - continue with key rotation integration work
                - fix lastPassed issue in rdsys (or lox if the rdsys fix is too 
complicated)
                - Work on outstanding milestone issues: 
                        in particular: 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/-/issues/69
                        - key rotation automation
                        
                Later:
                - begin implementing some preliminary user feedback mechanism 
to identify bridge blocking based on Vecna's work
                - improve metrics collection/think about how to show Lox is 
working/valuable
                - sketch out Lox blog post/usage notes for forum
                
        (long term things were discussed at the meeting!): 
https://pad.riseup.net/p/tor-ac-community-azaleas-room-keep
                - brainstorming grouping strategies for Lox buckets (of 
bridges) and gathering context on how types of bridges are distributed/use in 
practice
                        Question: What makes a bridge usable for a given user, 
and how can we encode that to best ensure we're getting the most appropriate 
resources to people?
                                1. Are there some obvious grouping strategies 
that we can already consider?
                                        e.g., by PT, by bandwidth (lower 
bandwidth bridges sacrificed to open-invitation buckets?), by locale (to be 
matched with a requesting user's geoip or something?)
                                2. Does it make sense to group 3 
bridges/bucket, so trusted users have access to 3 bridges (and untrusted users 
have access to 1)? More? Less?
