Hi,
I can not facilitate SoS next week. Please let me know off list if you can
facilitate. If you're already coming to the meeting, you know how to do it.
The only other duties are archiving the notes and sending them to
wikitech-l.
It's documented:

Thanks,
Željko

== Callouts ==
* Research launched call for feedback on section recommendations. Please
take a look if you're interested:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wiki-research-l/2019-March/006728.html
* Our JD for a Senior Software Engineer on Scoring Platform is live
https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/1608084
* WikimediaEditorTasks will (tentatively) go live on wikidatawiki on Thurs
after the WM train rolls.
** It's mostly internal-facing (for consumption by the apps) and will not
get any meaningful traffic at first (while the Android team tests), but in
coming weeks please keep an eye out for (unlikely) impact on page save time
& DB replication performance.
