[edit]Team Business
[edit]- Phabricator workboard discussion
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/20/
- Make sure you have an account :)
- Join the "project"
- Things to think about, we probably want to take a 2 hour chunk of time to do this well enough:
- What is our generalized process? We can keep our current process and make the tool match that.
- "size" of things in this specific board (do we need two?)
- "Blocked" column?
- "Needs review" column?
- "Done" column (and related "Archive" column)?
- other things?

Scrum of Scrums
[edit](kept as long url because all short url providers are blocked by mw.org)
- Direct phabricator / migration questions to the #wikimedia-devtools irc channel
- QChris finished the phabricator plugin for gerrit, we should see gerritbot posting to phabricator soon
- See a sample of data migrated from bugzilla to phabricator to get a feel for how it's going to look and identify any problems:
- Preview instance: https://bugzillapreview.wmflabs.org
- (antoine) it (phabricator upstream:) is awesome. Can fill bug at https://secure.phabricator.com/ which are triaged quickly
- ready to merge the l18n stuff
- sync up with Niklas re l18n
Zuul / Gearman related:
- Jobs being stuck in Zuul queue due to an error not being handled https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72113 , patch proposed upstream
- Jobs not being triggered by Zuul suddenly https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63760 , hard to track
- Fixed: "Jenkins: jobs created via JJB are not properly registered in Zuul Gearman server" https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63758 , pending upstream release although already deployed
- (Zeljkof, Antoine) some rubocop ruby2.0 related work over the week.
- Have some Icinga/Graphite monitoring in staff. Not sure whom to notify beside Yuvi, Greg and I. Ideas? Maybe a public mailling list similar to qa-alerts ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/qa-alerts/ ), but not qa-alerts since it is super spammy. Maybe betacluster-alerts or something
- create a task in the workboard (greg)
- Andrew is still waiting on bids for virt hardware, and frowning a lot
Browser tests
[edit]- (Dan) Making progress on env layer
- Antoine got Dan to commit to giving a TDD talk to WMF :)
- Chris in SF, working mostly directly with Flow folks (mostly S I think) and a little with Rummana for VE.
- Almost 80 people RSVPd for http://www.meetup.com/wikimedia-tech/events/207856222/
- (Dan) Survey out—around 38 replies so far. Let it roll? Send to community?
- (Dan) Start analysis of survey results
