[edit]- Attendance: JR, Dom, Ed, Greg, Anthony, Elena, Pita, Željko
- Data3 work
- An effort to pull together engineering data for easier analysis
- Monte and Edward have been working together to get a sandbox ELK stack setup for us to explore the possibilities more.
- Monte's been working on an Elk stack + phab docker image.
- Folks from across the organization are interested in this, actively being supported by RelEng (Tyler and Mukunda) and CPT (Will and Naïké)
- Metrics dictionary was created a little over a year ago to help establish some potential use cases
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10lvSkI703qz4sYxjDS5xtZwigxH9wUXKiDMpZEEHJR8/edit#gid=0
- Elena has many thoughts/questions on this, to start was curious about "Bug Triage Responsiveness" - not all teams have a "triage" process. Also has questions about "Bugs per train", specifically the product errors issue we are seeing rise.
- Greg mentioned that this is something that we are trying to address more directly. Tyler's been leading a discussion around this across Tech and Product. We need to move away from expecting a handful of folks like Timo and James from doing all the work around production errors.
- Side discussion about the urban legends surrounding Ostriches. Need I say more?!
- Željko
- QTE Phabricator badge https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/badges/view/19/
- Mentor Outreachy Round 21 intern https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263240
- Anybody wants to experiment with us creating a small writing club (maximum 5 people)? More information at https://shime.sh/word-rafting https://shime.sh/raft
- Elena and Željko will define the rules and start the club
- Shout out regarding bug/defect reporting templates.
- Rummana is in the process of collecting information about the various bug reporting templates that are used accross the Foundation. If you've not done so already, please update the spreadsheet with information from the teams you work with.
- The objective of this work is to work towards aligning on a more common set of expectations for all bug reports. This will aid in future reporting and analysis.
- Q1 ITC starting up
- Q2 Planning/OKRs are coming up.
- Start thinking about the Q2 activities coming up for the teams your working with and if there are any new O/KRs.

- Dom
- Does anyone have tips for Mobile testing on Browserstack/Saucelabs (e.g. how to simulate gestures?); or, is it better to have access to a physical device? What differences between emulated and physical should we be aware of?
- Anthony: emulators did not have the same bugs as real devices, e.g. couldn't simulate getting a phone call or other interrupt with emulator
- John: certain bugs ONLY appear in emulators
- Does anyone have tips for Mobile testing on Browserstack/Saucelabs (e.g. how to simulate gestures?); or, is it better to have access to a physical device? What differences between emulated and physical should we be aware of?
