SoS Meeting Bookkeeping

• Blocked by:

• Updates:
  • We're still looking for a backup facilitator. 👀
  • Please keep in mind that this page is copy/pasted to a wiki page. Text on this page will be rendered as wikitext. See this page for some common formatting errors. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=3240805&oldid=3240802&title=Scrum_of_scrums/2019-05-15&type=revision&diffmode=source
  • If your team is blocking/blocked, please make sure you copy/paste the note from your team section to the other team's section.
  • We're still looking for feedback if this meeting is useful. If it is, is there anything we could do to make it more useful?
    • SoS is really useful to Release Engineering because we are frequently blocked by various teams because of train. We also frequently block other teams because we're in charge of continuous integration (CI).
    • Should we make the meeting notes as short as possible, so interested people could read all of it? One step in that direction could be removing teams that did not leave any updates.
