Sprint Planning Meeting, SecureDrop, October 9, 2019

Sprint timeframe: Beginning of Day (PDT) 2019-10-09 to Beginning of Day (PDT) 2019-10-23

0) Retrospective

What we said we would do:

  1. SecureDrop Core: Tails 4.0 support
  • rigorous testing of all Tails-based workflows and Tails upgrade paths, including password databases;
  • resolve all discovered compatibility issues;
  • test on all workstations, including the SVS;
  • provide additional documentation where warranted, update screenshots.

Sprint goal partially met: Key compatibility goals achieved, additional testing & docs updates still pending

  1. SecureDrop Core: Complete Python3 transition:
  • migrate securedrop-admin to Python 3
  • supervisor and any other Python2 deps
  • removal of all remaining Python2 code paths.

Sprint goal partially met: securedrop-admin transitioned to Python3 & Python 2 code paths removed; supervisor resolution still pending

  1. SecureDrop Workstation: Complete basic export and print integration
  • land basic export integration PR and round of polish/fixes.

Sprint goal partially met: export integration landed, many fixes still outstanding

Additional accomplishments:

  • Landed fix for longstanding graphical updater bug
  • Identified and fixed issue with libpython3.5 dependency being underspecified
  • Draft PR for supervisor->systemd transition ready to be picked up again if this is the path we go down
  • Identified root cause of securedrop-export VM startup issues

  • testing focus on Tails 4 update/install path, securedrop-admin
  1. SecureDrop Workstation: Export/USB detection fixes, fix showstopper bugs
  • showstopper bugs are marked as 0.2.0alpha milestone; they are bugs which get in the way of demonstrating the client to news orgs preparatory to the pilot

3) Task selection and estimation
