+Volunteers to handle "Hole in the roof" tickets this month
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+- sycamoreone will work on [[!tails_ticket 6116]]: Audit random seed and related tickets
+- intrigeri will work on [[!tails_ticket 6310]]: Pull source packages from foreign APT repositories
+
+Availability and plans until the next meeting
+---------------------------------------------
+
+- segfault will keep working on the Tails server more (a gui prototype is almost
+ there!): https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/server_edition/
+- alan will work on:
+ - new Tails Greeter
+ - maintenance of Onion circuits
+ - Whisperback
+
+Decide if we want to have monthly reports and who should edit them [[!tails_ticket 11047]]
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+So, report volunteers will take shifts for next months reports.
+During monthly meeting information can be gathered, and 5 days after report is finished by the volunteer
+
+- April: u
+- May:spriver?
+- June:sajolida
+- July: Atomike?
+- August: intrigeri
+
+Support channel [[!tails_ticket 7874]]
+--------------------------------------
+
+We discussed about the problem of users not being able to join irc from Tails.
+The incremental plan could be:
+
+1. intrigeri will move #tails to our regular XMPP server to deprecate IRC right now [[!tails_ticket 11306]].
+2. sycamoreone will make sure that anonymous logins work fine in Pidgin/Tails [[!tails_ticket 11307]]
+3. emmapeel will pass a call for help on setting up a server with anonymous logins and migrate #1 there [[!tails_ticket 11306]].
+
+Retire the experimental branch [[!tails_ticket 11202]]
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Nobody uses it anymore. We can retire it.
+
+Review our list of SSH ciphers, MACs and HostKeyAlgorithms [[!tails_ticket 7315]]
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Everybody agrees with the email thread as well. Will be done for Tails 2.3 by intrigeri.
+
+Decide what to do with the old OpenPGP verification instructions [[!tails_ticket 11027]]
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2016-February/010272.html
+
+After a very long discussion we identified 2 different scenarios:
+
+1. People who don't want to use DAVE or BitTorrent and prefer doing a direct
+ download and an equivalent GPG verification.
+2. People who want to do a stronger verification than DAVE or BT going through
+ the WoT (Web of Trust), and the current instructions explain this only for
+ Linux on the command line.
+
+And we decided to:
+
+A. Point people from the direct download to a simpliflied version of the GPG
+ instructions (without all the Web of Trust information) to satisfy scenario #1.
+B. Work on better WoT instructions as *additional* verification after DAVE, BT,
+ or #B to satisfy scenario #2.
+ But these would be different documents accessible through different paths.
+
+If there's another specific *verification* use case that we find badly supported
+and that needs OpenPGP for some reason, we can describe it over
+[[email|about/contact#tails-dev]].
