 * Now named CI scaling project  (hashar, 14:21:52)
 * ACTION: Rename project in Phabricator (hashar, 14:22:03)
 * AGREED: to rename the CI isolation project to CI scaling (hashar, 14:23:13)
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110693 MySQL database for Nodepool (hashar, 14:23:50)
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107268 Bump Nodepool to support statsd 0.3.0 (hashar, 14:24:30)
 * Creating images using disk-image-builder !!!!!!!!! (hashar, 14:26:24)
 * .plan : hashar to conclude nodepool install then migrate integration/config.git jobs and later pywikibot/core jobs (hashar, 14:28:12)
 * Hashar and Dan discussed about using LXC to run jobs. Potential challenge is creating the reference image and then compile a Jenkins job as a sequence of commands to run in a LXC container. Might do a POC in September  (hashar, 14:30:20)


 * Wikidata and composer (hashar, 14:31:18)
 * composer-merge-plugin no more blocking. Jan lacks time to convert the existing jobs though  (hashar, 14:31:38)


 * Jobs compatibility with old release branches (hashar, 14:32:43)
 * Conversion to generic composer/npm jobs cause jobs to fails on release branches that are not ready for it yet (hashar, 14:33:44)
 * AGREED: hashar to emit a proposal to wikitech-l to bring npm/composer support to REL branches. (hashar, 14:37:31)


 * Unique entry point (make test? ) (hashar, 14:38:36)
 * Pro: offers liberty to dev,  Con: does not let us ensure the proper jobs are running (such as npm/composer based)  (hashar, 14:39:08)
 * Jan points npm/composer can be badly configured. legoktm dashboard shows the tools being used https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/ci  (hashar, 14:41:17)
 * LINK: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Legoktm/ci legoktm dashboard (hashar, 14:41:22)
 * LINK: https://github.com/legoktm/tools-ci legoktm dashboard source code (hashar, 14:41:31)
 * alternative to a make file would be using a config file that says something like npm=yes, composer=no. i.e. you could enable individual entry points. (jzerebecki, 14:42:57)
 * Paladox proposed a lot of changes to mediawiki repositories and CI config. Have to test each of them individually before approval though :-/  (hashar, 14:48:40)
 * AGREED: jzerebecki to fill a task requesting to make it easier to run composer/npm on repo that are not configured yet (using Zuul experimental pipeline) (hashar, 14:51:05)
 * Already solved by legoktm ! npm / composer-tests are in experimental (hashar, 14:52:15)


 * Next meeting (hashar, 14:53:16)
