Topics
- Paths of communication - what do we say where and who hears it
- Try server dashboard design brainstorm session
- Release automation polish
- possible staging-master changes to increase count without increasing hardware
- staging env per person
- review revamp discussion
- q4 goal: facilitate 4.0+2.0?
- *brancheslessness*!
- Tutorials of tools we use
- testing - catlee's stuff - local testing
- IPMI Java iKVM Viewer - I had no idea until an IT brought it up!
- any other sweet tricks?
- Unified jobs' view
- How do we solve having so many masters and what is the design strategy?
- How can we integrate nagios into it?
- tinderbox substitute
- who is working it? and could we design it so we would use it too?
- production branches of buildbotcustom / buildbot-configs, etc.
- Auto-reconfigs on masters
- Tag gets bumped, pre-production unit tests and we bump again once we are happy
- no need to ssh into masters
- Downtime-less restarts
- cheap way is to have many more masters and graceful shutdowns one at a time
- why does a current job have to die if master is not up? couldn't it talk with someone else?
- ssh-less releases
- outreach?
- how can we lower entry level?
- I (armenzg) believe in the ScriptFactory and different libraries
- how to grow / scale as a group?
- sharing knowledge; no single-point-of-knowledge ("bottleneck")
