OKR update

edit

The six questions I answer week-by-week about our work. This is pretty much all CTPO/VP/Director-types see for what we're doing. If there are specific things to call out here, let's do.

Last week

edit

Progress update on the hypothesis for the week T343707 – Clean up operations/* gerrit repositories – archived a bunch of old cruft this week T300819 – Investigate stacked patch sets – we recommended SRE try gerritlab and we're making some tweaks upstream and the author seems receptive T343035 – Sync ldap/ops users to GitLab – we created a group on our GitLab test instance and requested feedback on the ops mailing list (and got a couple of responses) Any new metrics related to the hypothesis Repositories on Gerrit decreased (2040 last week → 2023 this week) Caveat: this was mostly due to cleanup Any emerging blockers or risks No Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need? Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now? No Have there been any new learnings from the hypothesis? No Are you working on anything else outside of this hypothesis? If so, what? Reviewing résumés for backfill hiring Team sync on how to deploy phabricator Team learning on how to deploy our WikimediaDebug browser extension (courtesy of Timo!)
