In Zooko's opinion, this would<br>not help protect those customers from NSA spying. Therefore, it is a<br>conundrum for Zooko about how to respond to such requests: sell them<br>what they want, or try to explain to them why in his opinion what they<br>want probably doesn't actually help
them?<br><br>Andrew asked: when will we release Tahoe-LAFS v1.11? The Milestone on<br>the trac is marked as "end of August". It is *possible* but unlikely<br>that we will actually be ready then. Zooko hopes that he, Daira,<br>Zancas, and Leif will be way too busy supporting thousands of new<br>LeastAuthority.com customers!<br><br>Brian asked: what is the headlining new change in Tahoe-LAFS v1.11?<br>Daira said that for starters we definitely need to ship the fix for<br>immutable server selection that Mark has done (#1382).<br><br><a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1382#" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1382# </a>immutable peer<br>selection refactoring and enhancements<br><br>We then depth-first recursed into the topic of the immutable server<br>selection. We explained to Brian that Mark has already fixed it but<br>there is a test that spuriously went red. We then depth-first recursed<br>into fixing that
unit test (which Brian is the author of and was best<br>equipped to help Mark debug it).<br><br>We'd like to find a replacement for Google Hangouts for video<br>conferencing. Jitsi?
