Team Business

 * Q1 Goals:
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/201516Q1


 * Poke antoine about
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76999 Puppet keeps restarting jobrunner service
 * Antoine: root cause is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T77002 Puppet Trebuchet provider compares refname with commit sha1 and does NOT refresh the git repo!
 * Should we put our fingers in the crazy home made puppet provider written for Trebuchet ?


 * Antoine to attend beta cluster triage. Need to figure out a proper day/time with others. To be done off meeting. Tip: Monday noon / noon:30 PST should be fine


 * Antoine might not be able to attend next meeting (Jun 16th). Crazy personal agenda.

Pairing (#together) / Weekly Triages

 * Missed log-errors triage last Thursday
 * Invites sent.
 * Tyler and Mukunda did some experimentation with trebuchet for a mock mediawiki deployment on staging cluster. Essentially a proof of concept for bd808's ideas re: mediawiki git deployment.
 * Mukunda + Dan pair on Phab at some point? :)
 * Chad should do upgrade and make sure he knows he's got it (pretty sure he does already)

TODO: add your availability to phab calendar
