We noticed a lot of untriaged issues in the web boards, and @lelutin
is a little overloaded, so we picked issues off his board.

# Roadmap review
anarcat mentioned that we need to review Q3 and plan Q4 in the next
monthly meeting.
keep in mind that what we don't do from the 2025 roadmap in q4 will
get postponed to 2026, and that has an influence on the tails merge
roadmap!
we would really like to finish the puppet merge this year, at least.
we hope to start brainstorming a proper 2026 roadmap in october.
# Other discussions
## state of the onion
do we do it? what do we want to present?
we haven't presented for the last two years, didn't seem to cause an
issue for the grand public, no one asked us for it...
maybe we could do a talk to TPI/TPO directly instead of at the SOTO?
But then again, not talking contributes to an invisibilisation of our
work... It's important for the world to know that developers need help
to do their work and sysadmins are important: this organization
wouldn't *immediately* collapse if we would go away, but it would
certainly collapse *soon*. It's also important for funders to
understand (and therefore fund) our work!
Ideas of things to talk about:
- roadmap review? we've done a lot of work this year, lots of things
we could talk about
- asncounter?
- interactions with upstreams (debian, puppet, gitlab, etc)
- people like anecdotes: wrong gitlab shrink? mailman3 memory issues
and fix
anarcat will try to answer the form and talk with pavel for some help
on next steps.

Upgrade prediction graph lives at trixie · Wiki · The Tor Project / TPA / TPA team · GitLab
We've past our estimated finish date for the trixie upgrades
(2025-08-06), which means we've slowed down quite a bit in our upgrade
batches. But we're close to completion! We're still hoping to finish
in 2025, but it's possible this drags into 2026.
