2016-11-01

[edit]
  • NOTE: This standup did not occur. Europe was on holiday, and Mark was sick.

2016-11-02

[edit]
  • Happy November!
  • Prateek says his power is out, so he won't be attending.

Mark

[edit]
  • I'm not as sick as I was yesterday, but I would describe my mood as cautious optimism.
  • I still don't really have anything in particular to do, so I'll check the FA security review for progress, then maybe bother some people, then trawl Phabricator for more.
  • Maybe also run through my CR lists just to be safe.

Matthias

[edit]
  • Fixing things around "back" button

Bartosz

[edit]
  • CR, email

2016-11-03

[edit]

Prateek (maybe attending)

[edit]
  • Caught up on CR and bugmail
  • Marking some stuff for GCI
  • Documenting user stories on Extension:FileAnnotations/Design/Process
    • Please add your own if you have any
    • Not yet sure about how to put all this on phab, but not letting that stop the process

Mark

[edit]
  • Yesterday went mostly as expected, searching for things to do still.
  • Security review not moving. Should ping bawolff or someone today perhaps.

James

[edit]
  • Nothing, Phabricator stuff
  • Backport things to REL1_28 if you need backports

Matthias

[edit]
  • Fixed things around "back" button
  • Rebased follow-up patches (moving stuff out of UploadWizard obj)
  • Looking how to & how hard it would be to remember upload state when moving back

2016-11-07

[edit]
  • As below, maybe we should shift the meeting time. Prateek proposes 3PM SF time, midnight CET, possibly as a supplement?

Prateek (not attending)

[edit]

Mark

[edit]
  • Will be working on userscript for image description editing today...backlog of bug reports is now too long to ignore, apparently people are actually using it
  • Nothing else seems to be pressing, unless anyone has anything they need me for...

Matthias

[edit]
  • Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved

James

[edit]
  • Back in SF! (for six weeks)
  • Goal discussions vaguely planned.
  • Funding proposal for structured data progressing, including a PM for multimedia/structured data, so that's cool.
