Who's here:

Last Time

- only problem is we don't know Go
- talked about python3
- Dan trolled us by suggesting node :)

tyler/dan pair to vampire Go knowledge
- Done had a meeting Thursday
- Tyler has a Go task
TODO RelEng quarterly goals (blubber something something)
- Done link I was digging for
- tl;dr: figure out how to functionally test Mathoid once its on the staging cluster, and what to do about it when it fails (i.e., what is the feedback mechanism?)
Services: working on local development tool
- start on cli tool + documentation (currently: install minikube and apply file :))
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-containers/tree/k8s (has some work)
Ops: staging cluster up and running Soon™ (maybe tomorrow) DONE

creds for docker registry?
- Jenkins credential store is not a good place for actual secrets
- TODO talk to antoine about secret storage
- maybe jenkins does not need access to secrets for this project

services local development
- currently a pr out
- needs a means for local configuration
- will setup a to define a roadmap, dan to go
- https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-containers/pull/28

ops staging k8s is done! \o/
- Fully working, can send stuff there
- uses same docker registry as production
- could start scheduling stuff for tests

Blubber work
- Wrote config for mathoid and it built
- patches to make it work accepted by Marko
- is finally functional!
- no current way to make extra envvars in blubber

Helm
- could have a place in the developer tooling and/or entire pipeline
- between blubber -> deploying an image
- Marko/Dan to talk more at services development tooling meeting

Ops will be looking into network policies for pods (multi-week)
Also looking into upgrading to version 1.5.5 (we got 1.4.6)
