Standup Notes 2020 06 23

Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Conor, Erik, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mickael, Nina, Ro

Topics and Call-outs

• QA: aiming to test w/ NUC8+NUC10, maybe phase out NUC5 and Mac Mini soon

  • At minimum, by SD 2.0.0, we'll stop supporting NUC5 and Mac Mini

• Reminder: FPF has a WFH budget for remote workers, please talk to Ryan if you need help making your setup more useful

• Cross-team knowledge share with DST this week

• UX review of read/unread options at pilot/support sync today

• What's the deal with staging-test-with-rebase? It takes forever and often flakes -- is the value we get out of it worth the pain?

  • Runs testinfra, so very valuable

  • Upgrading vagrant boxes on OS image would cut down runtime

  • Final reboot sometimes times out, maybe worth investigating reboot module behavior

  • Perhaps switch to running nightly and/or release branches
