I attended the SRE meeting yesterday as part of my clinic-duty/on-call week.
* Hiring: 2 people on the final stage of the hiring pipeline. I can give more details. * Running a diversity and inclusion survey (I'm not sure by who) * A reminder of expense reports, mind the new FY! * Phab vandalism: discussion of measures, releng is taking care for now. * Summary of the dumps incident by Ariel. * Q1 goals were a big chunk of the meeting. Nothing seems to have a direct WMCS dependency or actionable in our side.
Some goals were discussed, in many cases they were already mentioned in Prague:
* PHP7 & mediawiki * K8s (aka. deployment pipeline) * DB backups improvements * Netbox vs racktables * Central certificate management for LE * Increasing networking capacity * Datacenter switchover. Some concerns: it requires a lot of time, coordination, commitment...
Further discussion is probably required to choose concrete goals, as Mark pointed out that doing all of them is probably too much work.

- Running a diversity and inclusion survey (I'm not sure by who)
I presume that is in reference to the survey from the Diversity in Tech Working Group: https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Diversity_in_Tech_Working_Group
(Full disclosure and why I replied: I'm a member ;) )
The survey closes on Thursday: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHtF4-PIFzyB7pvDsuct_ewqNlrH0BbH4X...
Please do take it :)
Best,
Greg, lurker on way too many mailing lists.
