Katie

Last week:

• Fundraiser tech team reduced to two people. Finished on-boarding process for all duties of outbound people (which might be more aptly called: "receipt of brain dump")
• Completed initial work on the globalcollect wr1 parser module in drupal, for civicrm.
• Spent two days running the drush scripts in the wr1 parser module, auditing the 2011 fundraiser data.

This week:

• Deploying code to the payments cluster to support improved localization for the Africa tests going on this week
• Review, test, and hopefully deploy civicrm / drupal module for actually doing the recurring part, of globalcollect recurring-type payments
• Probably continue work on getting better numbers to Finance (if time allows, and I hear back from them on what they actually need). This will probably involve writing some degree of new auditing code in the form of civicrm-related drupal modules and drush scripts.
• Hopefully interview people (phone screen) for FR-tech positions

Blockers:

• Further auditing work held up until I hear back about Finance's actual data needs for October - December 2011.
• Testing the recurring module for globalcollect held up until the recurring module's status moves to "ready to test" (though code review is not blocked on this item)
