Sprint Planning Meeting, SecureDrop, 2021-02-03

Sprint timeframe: Beginning of Day (PST) 2021-02-03 to Beginning of Day (PST) 2021-02-17

1) Sprint review

What we said we would do:

  • Complete SecureDrop 1.7.0 QA and release

    • Goal met: 1.7.0 released; a regression not covered by existing test plans or QA procedures impacted a subset of instances, quickly resolved with SecureDrop 1.7.1 hotfix release.

  • Complete key Focal deliverables

    • Land migration to unattended upgrades

      • Goal partially met: Good progress on review, close to the finish line

    • Detect incompatible playbooks

      • Goal not met: Implementation plan on issue, but deferred to this sprint in favor of security work

    • Early investigation of 5.4 kernel

      • Goal met: Kushal has tested on NUC5, Mickael/Conor have continued researching hardware support

    • Fixing dual-distro support on apt-test

      • Goal met: Distro version strings fixed and new packages uploaded

    • Attempt and document an initial Xenial->Focal migration on hardware

      • Goal partially met: SecureDrop on Focal successfully installed on NUC7s and Mac Mini, early smoke testing looks good, more testing/docs/migration to come

  • Prepare draft PR for "Safe Deletion" in Journalist Interface based on initial user research findings

Other accomplishments:

  • Improvements to SecureDrop Client resize behavior: preview text now scales with window.
  • Switched to reproducible wheels for SecureDrop Workstation dependencies. FPF PyPI mirror no longer referenced in build logic.
