Hi All
tl;dr: Don't deploy on Thursday except for emergencies; the deployment calendar on Wikitech https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_August_10 is up-to-date.
Friday of next week (2020-08-14) is a wmf holiday. As such, Thursday should be treated as Friday for the purposes of deployment; that is, no deployments on Thursday except for emergencies https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Emergencies.
This has implications for the (1.36.0-wmf.4) train—we'll be going to all wikis on Wednesday evening UTC rather than Thursday evening UTC:
- Tue, 11 Aug, EU Train Window, 13:00 UTC: Group0 - Wed, 12 Aug, EU Train Window, 13:00 UTC: Group1 - Wed 12 Aug, US Train Window, 19:00 UTC: All Wikis
Hopefully, this will allow time for manual testing on Group0 wikis, and allow us to complete the train on time.
