- Kevin to send email
We posted docs on portal improvement ticket (moving code to gerrit: T110070)
- Ticket has been quiet since
- Proposed next step: Plan the actual announcement
- Remember that we promised to move all the portals, even though we won’t be working on them
- Moiz will start IRC convo
Hiring:
- Looking good on ops interviews
- Product mgr has been posted
- Relevance hiring is progressing
Wikidata meetings followup
- Wikidata meetings will result in some new phab tasks
- Should have debrief meeting(s). Tomasz will follow up on that
Labs quota issue has been resolved
Deployment freeze for some portion of December seems like a good idea
- Other teams are freezing for an entire month
- Let’s have a conversation on the mailing list (Tomasz will initiate)
Tomasz will be asking some folks for help putting together weekly updates for Wes (so he can put together a report to execs)

Anything from SoS that we should be aware of?
