tl;dr: Starting the week of August 22nd there will be 3 SWAT deploy windows: at 13:00, 18:00, and 23:00 UTC (6am, 11am, 4pm PDT).
Hello all,
I'm pleased to announce that after being heavily SF-focused for a long time we're adding a Europe-focused (and slightly better for Asia/India) SWAT window[0] starting on August 22nd[1].
This new SWAT window follows a couple changes to the SWAT process[2] and scap tooling[3] which make SWAT deploys less risky and stressful for all involved.
We hope this additional window will make the lives of all teams and volunteers (at least slightly) better.
<3, Greg and the Release Engineering Team

Reminder: This change begins this coming Monday, Aug 22nd.
If you would normally use the 9am Pacific ("morning SWAT") you'll either go 3 hours earlier (6am Pacific/13:00 UTC, "European Mid-day SWAT") or 2 hours later (11am Pacific/18:00 UTC).

Hello,
It went all fine. The canary check and mw1099/X-Wikimedia-Debug make it a breeze to do the deployments.
We had 8 patches which kept us busy, I am hoping to do actual training / levelling up when there are less patches to push.
cheers,
