🏆 Wins

 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/Monthly_notable_accomplishments
 * May '22 edition


 * Our long, grinding efforts at deployment training are finally starting to result in more people doing deploys (well, ok, they've resulted in Clare doing deploys, anyway) \o/
 * Rolled back train five times
 * Deployment tooling just kind of sucks less than it used to
 * Merged scap backport
 * scap stage-train \o/
 * Finally got rid of the generic service-pipeline-* jobs and migrated remaining 23 projects to use bespoke `.pipeline/config.yaml` based jobs
 * gitlab-a-thon
 * We found a a whooooole lot of blockers
 * Dan being a good open-source citizen: https://github.com/moby/buildkit/pull/2868
 * JWT implements oauth2
 * Could be used to authorize push access to namespace based on project path
 * Root access on phabricator
 * Updated Jenkins for Security—which broke Jenkins for a while
 * I think I finally remember how to use a standalone puppetmaster
 * https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Standalone_puppetmaster
 * ERC going well and DEI moving ahead

Hiring Update

 * sooooo close....

Hackathon

 * Happening Fri–Sun
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2022/Schedule
 * "Infrastructure Tools Room- topics such as Phabricator, Git, Gerrit, GitLab, or the DevPortal"
 * Tyler hosting: GitLab Q&A
 * Probably doing a session with Addshore on mwcli (Jeena)

🦊🚀 GitLab-a-thon
Goals 1. Migration of blubber / blubberoid to GitLab 2. Mirroring all of Gerrit read-only to GitLab (less than 40GB of repos)
 * Now a subset of repos is the agreement with serviceops (disk space issues)—MediaWiki ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


 * Sprint workboard: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/5873/
 * GitLab workboard: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/gitlab/
 * On MediaWiki: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/GitLab-a-thon

1st!
