Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the deployment highlights email.
As always, the upcoming planned deployments can be found here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Near_Term
Scheduling note: There will be no planned deploys during the week of the Thanksgiving (US Holiday). Only emergency bug fixes will happen.
