• Chad&Mukunda pair on Phab "plugin" for git/gerrit redirection
• Mukunda adding phabricator pairing session on Wed pre-Phab deploy (23:00 UTC-ish) (maybe 22:00-ish?)

Deployment Cabal

• https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103344

Isolated CI instances

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/continuous-integration/board/?order=priority

Quarterly Priority: Disposable VMs - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T47499

• (Antoine) Nodepool created and booted an instance (see team list).
• Next steps:
  • puppetize #together
  • Nodepool basic doc (http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nodepool)
  • For Andrew: diskimage-builder is neat. Might replaces bootstrapvz / vmbuilder!
• A single Jessie slave ("lightslave") pooled to run gdnsd tests. Slave can't be used for rest of jobs yet.
• CI slaves no more use NFS for /home nor do they have /data/project anymore.

• TODO: Dan & Antoine pair later this week

Phabricator

• Sprint/Burn up update: mukunda catching up/on point
• Labs outage prevented new Phab rollout last week, will do this week (with more updates)
