Essential Work
[edit]Weekly essential work update for 2026-W15
Shipped
[edit]- SpiderPig: bug report about SpiderPig console eating Ctrl-C was an opporunity to ditch a big dependency for a smaller one.
- Jenkins support for Java 17 is ending: Rebuilt all CI workers in the integration project for Jenkins upgrade
- Still need to upgrade workers in beta cluster
- Patch demo: got a backup running to protect against catastrophic failure. Unblocks us to upgrade Kubernetes there (which should unblock other cool stuff)
Blockers
[edit]- N/A
Lessons Learned
[edit]- Met with folks from technical wishlist this week to understand anything we can adapt from their process to open code changes.
- Learning about how deprecation warnings on the train effect folks pushing big changes.
Community collab
[edit]- As usual, made a few private repos, got a new few volunteers set up in GitLab
