Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

[damianavila]

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to the @2i2c-org/tech-team for the amazing job at the time to support the PaleoHack event!

Updates from last week ✔

• Final push on https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/pull/717 which is ready to be merged!
• Support tickets and informed transition for the next support steward, @consideRatio
• Discussed with @choldgraf about cost-allocation on our shared clusters
• Pre-warm the PaleoHack hub for the event, https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/pull/789
• Help with the PaleoHack outage, https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/issues/790

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I think the support role transition process should span 2/3 days where both out/in steward are responsible for the tickets/events/suppot_stuff. I think this is what actually happened last week (for good!), but I think it should be codified in our docs maybe, so all the expectations are aligned?

My availability for next week

• 100 %

[choldgraf]

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to the @2i2c-org/tech-team for working together to help identify and debug https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/issues/790
• Thanks @yuvipanda for explaining to me a bit more how our cloud cost passthrough might work!

Updates from last week ✔

• I finished up much of the #262 and am now waiting for feedback from CS&S before moving forward
• Have been working on some collaborations that we might pursue (https://github.com/2i2c-org/meta/issues/252 and https://github.com/2i2c-org/meta/issues/251)

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I've gotten some feedback that people like the "Daily team standup" questions in Slack more than the weekly team sync GitHub issue...this makes me wonder if we should just convert this weekly issue into only using the Slack bot, and finding another way to signal to the broader community what we have been working on...

My availability for next week

• I'm working all week, but will be attending EOSS for much of it, and am in KC with family so might be a bit distracted here and there

[sgibson91]

• Facilitating last week's planning meeting didn't go very well, sorry about that.

I disagree with this, I thought it went GREAT! 🚀

[sgibson91]

Trying to fill this out and remember what I did after a long weekend involving a wedding reception is TOUGH! 😅

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• EVERYONE. Y'ALL ARE AWESOME.

Updates from last week ✔

• Prepared the way for going live with prod at the start of next week. Got some dask scaling tests into our deployer and drafted an announcement blog post.

My availability for next week

• Obviously I was not here yesterday!
• Will be attending CZI meeting as much as possible on Tue/Wed/Thu which starts at 3pm UTC each day

@choldgraf, should not be our signal to the broader community some recurrent short blog post? If that is the case (I would say it is) then we could migrate to just use the bot...

Facilitating last week's planning meeting didn't go very well, sorry about that. I had a hard time finding my words. Hopefully next one will go better 🤞

To echo @sgibson91, I loved how it went! WE FINISHED ON TIME!!!!
