Feb 26
Secretary: David


 * Otto
 * Ops week! I am hanging out with Opsen!
 * Wrote an Oozie tutorial as a braindump
 * Wrapper script wrapping puppetmaster submodule creation and update. For submodules to be kosher, there needs to be a way to manually inspect the diff of the update. Submodules don't make that easy.
 * Bound the work at today -- not done? Weep & give up.


 * Dan
 * Read through David's Viewport commits and merge
 * Fixed some bugs that resulted from that


 * David
 * Merged feature/viewport into develop
 * Fixed ~11 bugs surfaced after the merge (ty to Dan for helping hunt)
 * Today: Close the last bugs in in the Viewport refactor
 * Add MetricDef Id to Datasource Columns


 * Diederik
 * Yesterday? Blocked! Going to Starve! due to the fact that this paycheck will arrive in TO only after I am in SF!
 * Ported more Asana tasks to Mingle
