Nathen away time

Whilst away will:

• Weekly check-in with Zaib
• Biweekly (bimonthly also!) community call

Notes:

• Screen shot for possibility now ✅

Preview deployments

Why no previews?

Aha! https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/known-issues/

Commits/PRs from forked repositories will not create a preview. Support for this will come in the future.

Workarounds: switch to branches approach (in master repo) vs forks with main branch

• [ ] You actually create a new branch in master repo for each thing call e.g. 332-move-residencies where 332 is related issue number (or your fork - though easier to work now directly with master)
• [ ] Push everything to that (you get a deploy)
• [ ] Then if that looks good you merge to main

@rufuspollock I've updated acceptance criteria and task list here. I will expand some tasks into issues and add them to the iteration accordingly

[nathenf]

@rufuspollock included our capacity in the Metadata: 20 hours for me and 20-25 for Zaib

[rufuspollock]

@nathenf great, and remember this only a 2 week iteration so e.g. newsletter at end of month would be next iteration.

[nathenf]

Good point @rufuspollock, I removed that and create #422 for the next iteration for when we need it

[rufuspollock]

@nathenf can you update where we got to on each item and do a brief assessment of sprint at the top (e.g. what % of goal reached, how many hours spent, any learnings).

[nathenf]

@rufuspollock I have updated the issue above. Zaib will also add her hours and complete the Jeffery Martin Episode before we close this issue.

[rufuspollock]

@nathenf being strict we should now roll the issue since we into the next sprint 😜

Either way would really like to close this one asap as it is from old sprint.

[nathenf]

FIXED - Tasks here have either been completed or transferred to next sprint!
