Last week

[edit]

The six questions I answer week-by-week about our work. This is pretty much all CTPO/VP/Director-types see for what we're doing. If there are specific things to call out here, let's do.

Progress update on the hypothesis for the week Support work only this week T348146 – publish coverage reports for ipoid T347467 – Created GitLab project for growth graphed gerrit repo growth over time Any new metrics related to the hypothesis Repositories on Gerrit decreased (2005 last week β†’ 2004 this week) Projects on GitLab increased (1399 last week β†’ 1413 this week) Any emerging blockers or risks No Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need? Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now? No Have there been any new learnings from the hypothesis? No Are you working on anything else outside of this hypothesis? If so, what? What was accomplished in this essential workstream this week? If nothing, why? Phabricator deployment for 7 low priority fixes 2 medium priority fixes 1 high priority fix T336105 Reports causing runtime exception logspam Closed security hole: T303829 Disallow adding Project Tags in the Subscribers field Train/Backport deployments 1.41.0-wmf.29 394 Patches β–β–‚β–‚β–ˆβ–† in 94 repos by 79 authors 1 Rollbacks β–ˆβ–β–β–β–ˆ 1 Days of delay β–β–β–β–β–ˆ 2 Blockers β–β–‚β–ˆβ–‚β– Does this essential workstream have any unresolved blockers or dependencies?

Next sprint

      • Debian had a maintainer ping email every half-year
    • Different priorities
      • Stuff running in production
      • Stuff we can't find running anywhere
    • What's deployed?
      • Kubernetes we know


Offsite!
