I was trying to figure out how to keep better track of hardware things
and realized that one thing we had not tried yet is a dedicated
workboard. I asked on irc and Brooke and Jason didn't immediately
think it was a horrible idea, so I moved ahead with an experiment:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4482/
You can add things with the #wmcs-hardware tag. Y'all can also mess
with columns and ordering, but maybe check in with Jason before taking
any really radical actions as I expect he will be one of the main
consumers of this board as he interfaces with the DCOps folks.
One possibly surprising thing when using the new tag: I made
#wmcs-hardware a "milestone" of #cloud-services-team. This means that
when you add #wmcs-hardware Phabricator will remove
#cloud-services-team and of it's other milestones. #wmcs-kanban is
also a milestone, so a hardware task can be in one board or the other,
but not both!
Let's revisit this in our Q3 process retro and decide if we will keep
this new board of archive it and try something else.
