Team Business

• Q1 Goals:
  • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/201516Q1

• Poke antoine about
  • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76999 Puppet keeps restarting jobrunner service
    • Antoine: root cause is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77002 Puppet Trebuchet provider compares refname with commit sha1 and does NOT refresh the git repo!
      • Should we put our fingers in the crazy home made puppet provider written for Trebuchet ?

• Antoine to attend beta cluster triage. Need to figure out a proper day/time with others. To be done off meeting. Tip: Monday noon / noon:30 PST should be fine

• Antoine might not be able to attend next meeting (Jun 16th). Crazy personal agenda.

Pairing (#together) / Weekly Triages

• Missed log-errors triage last Thursday
  • Invites sent.
• Tyler and Mukunda did some experimentation with trebuchet for a mock mediawiki deployment on staging cluster. Essentially a proof of concept for bd808's ideas re: mediawiki git deployment.
• Mukunda + Dan pair on Phab at some point? :)
  • Chad should do upgrade and make sure he knows he's got it (pretty sure he does already)

TODO: add your availability to phab calendar
