Event Logging validation: events larger than ~ 1100 bytes are not getting through varnish. We will change client code to raise an exception for such events, please be aware going forward.
Event Logging backfilling for data lost at the beginning of February is complete. Please re-run any analysis for that period.
Dashboard problems since Feb 19th are fixed. Some graphs still appear broken, ping milimetric if needed
SoS notes: if Dan is not around, could someone else take care of it?

Production releases coming at the end of the month on both Android and iOS. Let us know if any strangeness observed in logs.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90228 ("Investigate building a Node.js service for mobile apps content") is coming along nicely (update at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2015-March/008695.html). https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87824 ("Create specialised content API for mobile apps ") looks like it will be an achievable task with this preliminary work.

Hiring

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89088 <-- blocked on Ori. Someone bother him for us?
Sentry blocked on puppet and packaging, but tgr can do it if releng is busy.
Timo working on Sentry blocker that is in MW-core. Thanks Timo.
OOUI updated for our work on PDF file warnings, thanks to Roan and Trevor and James for being helpful.

Browser tests involving overlays are failing for Chrome because of what seems to be a Selenium bug, affecting MobileFrontend, Echo, VisualEditor at least. We're working on getting those tests passing again in Jenkins.
Card wall "Continuous integration - CiviCRM" Is this still blocked? Nope! Great, I removed the "Blocked-on-RelEng> tag.
Card wall "Create basic puppet role for Sentry" is marked blocked on RelEng but only because RelEng wants to keep current on the issue.

Nothing major to report in terms of blockers.
Continued to whittle away at VE Q3 blocker bugs. Several fixes being deployed today.
Q4 planning in progress.
