FYI

We are headed into the season of vacations and high risk fundraising, as such, the WMF is (I am) putting in place "deployment freezes" for a few weeks over the next seven. See full details below and on the Deployments page on wikitech.

A reminder of the upcoming deployment freezes. All details, of course, can always be found on the Deployments[0] page on wikitech; it is the canonical location for all deployment freeze (and exception) information.

FTR: "High Priority" means security and data loss, really. There may be other exceptions but they need pre-approval from at least myself and sometimes Katie.

• Week of Nov 23rd: No normal deploys - high prioity SWATs only (pre-approval from Greg needed) (Why: Thanksgiving)

• Week of Nov 30th: No normal deploys - high prioity SWATs only (pre-approval from Greg and/or Katie needed) (Why: First of Dec Fundraising)

• Week of Dec 7th: Normal deploy week

• Week of Dec 14th: Normal deploy week

• Week of Dec 21st: No normal deploys - high prioity SWATs only (and only on Monday and Tuesday) (pre-approval from Greg and/or Katie needed) (Why: End of year Fundraising)

• Week of Dec 28th: No normal deploys - high prioity SWATs only (pre-approval from Greg and/or Katie needed) (Why: End of year Fundraising)

• Week of Jan 4th: No normal deploys - high prioity SWATs only (pre-approval from Greg needed) (Why: DevSummit16 and WMF All Hands)

• Week of Jan 11th: Resume normal deploy schedule

Thanks and enjoy the break from breakages (hopefully!),

Greg
