Team discussions

Equinox switchover (starting Sep 2023)

  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EtOvWb3yd3A9DA6_dfxgnhQOF5lmeqA4gyzCBuBUymk/edit
  • Notable
    • "Release Engineering: During the read-only part of the Switchover, the MediaWiki train, owned by this team, MUST NOT run. It can still run on the same day, subject to their (and the SRE team's) discretion. The Deployment Calendar, also owned by this team, should contain informative entries about the Switchover, for the benefit of all deployers"
    • read-only always on Wednesday, 14:00UTC, 1–2hrs (currently after afternoon backport window)

Goals for this quarter (per Offsite wrangling)
