Hello all!
Tanks to Kevin for taking over while I was on vacation. And apologies for skipping the radar for our meeting on September 27.
Here are the minutes from this week's meeting. I have folded in some relevant points from the previous weeks.
* SQL backend for EventLogging is to be dropped in favor of the hadoop backend.
* OCG has been turned off. Electron is a temporary replacement.
* CommTech is seeking guidance on global preference implementation. https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2017-October/088980.html
