Re: [Wikitech-l] 2019-01-09 Scrum of Scrums meeting notes

Hi, I think that I previously made this request and it went unanswered, so I am escalating this request to Toby who I believe reads at least some of these SoS notes. If someone else is better suited to answer authoritatively than Toby, or if someone else would like to share their thoughts regarding this request, please feel free to comment. Also, please feel free to fork this request to a new thread if you think that a new thread would be a better place for this discussion.

I would like to request that every Audiences and Technology team submit highlights of recent and upcoming activities for inclusion in every set of SoS notes, even if no one personally attends the SoS meeting from a particular team, so that readers of these notes can keep better track of what is happening in the Audiences and Technology departments and so that readers can make adjustments to our own plans as needed. I would guess that, in addition to myself, other people who are not WMF staff might also benefit from this, along with WMF staff who miss SoS meetings.

Thanks,
