2017-08-07[edit]
- This week: Wikimania begins on Wednesday
- Next week: Offsite!
Mark[edit]
- Back from a week of...let's call it "vacation"
- 3d2png support in Thumbor is...I guess you could say progressing?
- STL files are useless, can't reliably detect them
- There are issues because we have to test Swift and normal service
- My Vagrant instance is still dead so I can't test anything anyway
- At least gilles is back from vacation too, so I can have some support for it now
- Dan emailed me about video uploads from Zero partners...some modifications but he'll post a discussion about it soon.
Max[edit]
- Offsite prep
- Backlog grooming!
- Blockers: Herald rules?
- Update calendar invitations so it's modifiable? (Mark: Done)
Adam[edit]

Amanda[edit]
- Talk to Lydia before hackathon - who else is going?
- Blocked: Travel...not from here
Chris[edit]
