== Announcements ==

        * 

== Discussion ==

        * Add nginx rate limiting to address "TTP-03-001 WP1: Snowflake broker 
vulnerability"
                * 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/40329
                * It will be applied once we move the broker 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/40349
                * shelikhoo will apply the changes into the nginx of the new 
broker, it will take effect as soon as we migrate to it

        * Is the broker migration ready to apply yet? 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/pluggable-transports/snowflake/-/issues/40349
                * dcf can change the VM memory configuration, then someone 
needs to contact TPA to ask them to change a DNS record
                * Example of asking for a DNS change: 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/40716
                * Caveat: we will have to use the same Let's Encrypt account as 
the old broker, because of CAA records:
                        * 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/41462

                * https://petsymposium.org/popets/2024/popets-2024-0027.php
                * Questions to ask and goals to have:
                        * What aspects of the paper are questionable?
                        * Are there immediate actions we can take based on this

                        * Is there future work that we want to call out in

onyinyang: 2023-05-30
        Last week(s):
                - continued key rotation implementation
                - Fixed bug in blockage_migration protocol
        Next week:
                - Work on outstanding milestone issues: 
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/-/milestones/1#tab-issues
                        - prepare for end to end testing of the Lox system with 
browser integration
                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?
