How much should we flush out what to work on before the hackathon, can we just play it loose and fast? Should come in with *some* clarity, particularly around things that may incur some resistance from outside

• Varnish
  • use puppet module
• SSL (nginx)
  • use puppet module
• MariaDB
• Memcache/Redis
• CentralAuth
  • Tackle multiversion in vagrant?
• configure MW and set of apps in a way to mimic production but for performance tweaks cf https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/119216/
• Prepared XML dump import
