Security

Citoid review in progress
Security planning with teams ongoing

Analytics

Event Logging holes all backfilled, but graphite is not showing any EL data since some time last week, and we're getting new Icinga alerts as of right now
In the process of fixing up our documentation (moving everything to Wikitech)

Parsing

Been dealing with issues arising from previous week's deployment snafus.
Continuing to focus on VE bugs for Q4.
Nothing special to report beyond that. Already co-ordinating separately with VE and Services teams on project dependencies on a weekly basis.

Ops

T88798 Jenkins is using php-luasandbox 1.9-1 for zend unit tests; precise should be upgraded to 2.0-8 or equivalent

Apps

iOS

What has your team done since we last met?
- Still coming up with CI req's before going to RelEng

What will your team do before we meet again?
- (Hopefully) release Wikipedia 4.1.3.96 to the app store

Is anything slowing your team down or getting in their way?
- Still figuring out how to work with Reading Infra & Services vertical team-mates, but working on other stuff atm
- Services blocking prototype service deployment due to lacking test coverage
- Analytics code review on a patch to iOS app which changes user agent

Are you about to put something in another team’s way?
- Once we talk to RelEng we'll probably need some CI work, otherwise probably not
