Action items from last meetings
- rkent and wsmwk to unblock / deal with bienvenu bugs
- Irving says this is "basically done".
- mconley: Come up with a short-list of volunteers to go on camera, send out emails with questions on them to get responses, find the responses that resonate, and from that, assemble our script.
- Not done yet, I'm afraid - the video has taken a back seat while I deal with Summit logistics. :/

mconley
- I've sent out communications about the summit. If you're one of the invited attendees, and you haven't received an email from me with a registration link, please contact me ASAP.
- While we've gotten approval from the highest authority, getting all of that on paper seems to be hard, but that's something our vendors require. This is my current struggle.
- Filed a bug to get a mailing list for summit attendees - bug 1071670.
- Made contact with Adam Muntner (Security @ Moz), :adamm - he knows the Darkmail folks, and said he was willing to facilitate communications with them.
clokep
- I plan to enable our JavaScript Yahoo implementation for Thunderbird ASAP (as soon as the tree opens again): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=955574
- Plan to take a look at creating the "Additional Protocols for Thunderbird" (i.e. libpurple for TB) "soon"
- Talked to the DarkMail guys again, their focus is shifting a bit to ensuring the server components and libraries all work properly.
- Will likely get back to the client side in a few months
- I've been promised to be one of the first people to receive protocol tech specs.
- Their presentation is finally online: https://media.defcon.org/DEF%20CON%2022/DEF%20CON%2022%20presentations/Ladar%20Levison%20and%20%20Stephen%20Watt%20-%20Updated/DEFCON-22-Levison-Watt-Dark-Mail-UPDATED.pdf

- V2 Code Signing work
- Robert Strong (:rstrong) was kind enough to port several of the changes to TB, so I only have to review those and we should mostly V2 compatible.
- Both Thunderbird and Firefox are being white listed by Apple for some time, so updating to the new code signing isn't as urgent as previously thought.
- Sadly though the white listing is per-version, and will take some time before new versions are white listed. E.G. 31.1.2 has not yet been white listed. Fortunately Gatekeeper doesn't check software updates, only first-time runs, so affected users should be limited.
- Quite behind on reviews and ui-reviews, apologies for that. I'm going to try to get all reviews done by next week.
