June 11th edit

June 26th or 27th QA activity edit

27th is way better - can we make it the 27th? Sumana says yes (email sent to list) WikiLove as possible target

  • very JS-heavy
  • path to give someone a kitten is different from everything else!
  • we broke it in production the other day
  • Ryan Kaldari, author, works for WMF

(backlog scenarios for Wikilove exist, but no code (yet), we will write two scenarios end-to-end at the exercise I think)

Amsterdam followup edit

  • Andre has already scheduled meetings in SF
  • Chris:
    • get build in Jenkins - lots of debt to address
    • get atop ULS automated tests
  • both of those are in place
  • need review from Runa/Amir/Siebrand on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/67873/ -- logged-in users & anon users for ULS. Sumana to bug them in person in SF. :)
  • Amsterdam browser automated testing session was JudyTuna, Pau, Niklas, Siebrand, & others

In the future, is there anything we want to market by broadcasting it to the 150 Amsterdam participants? Occasionally, marketing for the QA list would be nice - perhaps send it to the 150 Amsterdam participants - can link to a specific sample message to show that cool things are happening on that list We're doing good training for volunteeers on the QA list: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/qa/2013-June/000056.html (4-message thread)

Community Advocacy (Philippe's email) edit

Fundraising bug triage - who? Jay? (unknown) Note: Josh Van Davier no longer does QA for Fundraising although he has that name in his role random reminder: We have https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Code_of_conduct_policy as a basis
