Short status about the micro-hackathon that took place in my kitchen
last Saturday:

First of all, thanks to Joe for his support! And loads of thanks to
Jan, Alex, Nicko and Antoine for participating!

The main goal was to have fun and introduce a few people to what we
are doing. At the same time, we did manage to do get some actual work
done.

We did have a look at the following:

* T128786 [1]: Improve robustness of es-tool
    Implementation is done, needs to be tested somewhere and deployed.
Thanks Alex!
* T78342 [2]: Create a basic RSpec unit test for operations/puppet
    Some work has been done, but it is not yet in a state where it can
be merged. Nicko will continue to look into it and let us know.
* T130861 [3]: Investigate possible simplification of Cassandra
Logstash filtering
    Implementation is done, needs to be tested somewhere and deployed.
Thanks Jan!
* T131760 [4]: Add icinga monitoring for varnish statistics daemons
    Implementation is done, needs to be tested somewhere and deployed.
Thanks Alex!

Antoine also had a look into offering a Vagrant image with a fully
working Elasticsearch (with indices from our dumps). Not yet working.

We might see Jan, Alex, Nicko and Antoine on IRC, trying to push their
changes up to completion...

Note: you know you have a great job when you are happy to continue
doing it on weekend AND you have friends coming over to do it with you
just for fun!
