Discovery plans for gerrit cleanup day 2015

A few of us met to ensure that everyone in the department has a plan for Gerrit Cleanup Day (Wednesday 2015-09-23). We think most folks are accounted for, and came up with ideas for others, and several action items.

Here are the ideas we discussed, categorized by group (where several people are in a group of one):

=Developers=
 * There aren't many open Cirrus patches:
 * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:mediawiki/extensions/CirrusSearch+status:open,n,z
 * Nor Elastic:
 * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:mediawiki/extensions/Elastica+status:open,n,z
 * There are no (?) old maps or WDQS patches
 * There may be other patches in other ares that relate to search, but we haven't found any/many
 * Erik will coordinate with the developers to help them be productive
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88531 gives excellent guidance for picking up tasks in other areas
 * Kevin will ask Quim to try to get David paired up with someone in his timezone (maybe Trey also)

=Data analysts=
 * Maybe work with the analytics team?
 * There are a few open patches in this repo:
 * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:analytics/refinery/source+status:open,n,z
 * Dan: I don't know much about this myself, but it's Analytics related and Oliver has contributed in the past, might not be an unreasonable place for them to look
 * Kevin will talk to Oliver, who can guide Mikhail

=Dan (Product Manager)=
 * Plans to use the time to clear out our legacy backlog(s), which are exensive
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/cirrussearch/ <- tons of tasks in here that need triage. can do some of it on my own and make it more managable
 * Will also look through this general backlog:
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wikimedia-site-requests/ <- may be search related things in here, but also responding to general requests with my general product hat on

=Kevin (Agile Coach)=
 * Could try to do some Java review...maybe android stuff
 * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/project:apps/android/wikipedia,n,z
 * Kevin will get a gerrit account, to be able to +1/-1
 * wikitech.wikimedia.org shares login w/gerrit
 * Setup instructions: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Wikipedia_Android_app_hacking
 * https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin
 * Should then be able to log in to gerrit and +1/-1 things
 * Kevin will organize some kind of kickoff meeting the morning of the big day
 * Kevin might check in with folks midday, to ensure focus on users, not just on the backlog

=Moiz (UX)=
 * Maybe spend the time adding items to the UX backlog?
 * Kevin will check with Moiz

=Tomasz (Director)=
 * Currently in the process of getting root access to cluster
 * Plans to review and update search cluster documentation (esp data center)

=Wes (VP)=
 * Kevin will check with Wes to see what he is planning
