Wikimedia Discovery/Checkin meeting minutes/2015-06-08

2015-06-08
Should we have discussions before checkins, since true detailed checkins should now be happening during standups?
 * Yes, and let’s drop checkins

Info/To Discuss

 * Welcome David!
 * Yuri and Max are attending State of the Map conference
 * It is very helpful. One of the best conferences Yuri has attended
 * Still blocked on ops:
 * Ops allocated space on a shared machine; they expected dedicated hardware
 * Giuseppe is already working on this to sort through the misunderstanding(s)
 * Maps seem highly desired by the community, so is our (minimal) budget appropriate?
 * Wes has scheduled a follow-up meeting on Wednesday
 * Are we officially the “Discovery Department” now?
 * YES
 * Reminder: June 15 Showcase
 * If there is anything you can show off, get yourself on the agenda: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/DiscoveryShowcaseAgenda
 * Reminder: June 16 Retrospective
 * How should we reschedule sprint planning (which got clobbered by retro), since Nik will be out?
 * Make them earlier
 * Kevin will follow up via Email/IRC (UPDATE: They have been rescheduled, and Erik will stand in for Nik)
 * Topics from last week
 * Update on metrics requirements?
 * api data collection is set up
 * need checkin meeting before presentation (Tomasz will set it up)
 * there were requests from other verticals for help with data analysis, but we’re pushing back
 * Elastic and kibana: see email thread
 * Search Feedback survey (from Moiz)
 * phab ticket (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98066) has presentation deck

 * James is blocked
