Availability graphs: https://graphite.wmflabs.org/dashboard/#availability

Will start dashboard development this week (this is late obviously, but I'd like another week or so to work on it)

Zuul package almost done. Will deploy it on some labs instance this week
- Related doc pending
Quick presentation meeting with Andrew/Chase Wednesday

Timo / Kunal continued on:
- reducing the number of jobs (faster JJB deploys, less VM to spawn later on)
- skiping full git clones

phantomjs -> chromium/karma (faster runs!!)
