We exceptionnally did an early July meeting yesterday to make one last checkin while we're all there at once. Turns out I messed up scheduling and I overlooked that kez was AFK this week. Oops. Sorry kez!
Anyways, here are the minutes.
# Roll call: who's there and emergencies
* anarcat * gaba * lavamind
We had two emergencies, both incidents were resolved in the morning:
* [failing CI jobs][] * [failed disk on fsn-node-01][]
[failing CI jobs]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/incident/40806 [failed disk on fsn-node-01]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/issues/incident/40805
# OKR / roadmap review
[TPA OKRs][]: roughly 19% done
* [mail services][]: 20%. TPA-RFC-15 was rejected, we're going to go external, need to draft TPA-RFC-31 * [Retirements][]: 20%. no progress foreseen before end of quarter * [codebase cleanup][]: 6%. often gets pushed to the side by emergencies, lots of good work done to update Puppet to the latest version in Debian, see https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Puppet/Work * [Bullseye upgrades][]: 48%. still promising, hoping to finish by end of summer! * [High-performance cluster][]: 0%. no grant, nothing moving for now, but at least it's on the fundraising radar
[Web OKRs][]: 42% done overall!
* The donate OKR: is about 25% complete still, to start in next quarter * Translation OKR: still done * Docs OKR: no change since last meeting: * dev.tpo work hasn't started yet, might be possible to start depending on kez availability? @gaba needs to call for a meeting, followup in [tpo/web/dev#6][] * documentation improvement might be good for hack week

# Dashboard review
We looked at the team dashboards:
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/boards/117 * https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/web/-/boards * https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/boards
... and per user dashboards:
* https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/boards?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%... * https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/boards?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%... * https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/-/boards?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%...
Things seem to be well aligned for the vacations. We put in "backlog" the things that will *not* happen in June.
# Vacation planning
Let's plan 1:1 and meetings for july and august.
Let's try to schedule 1:1s during the 2 week where anarcat is available, anarcat will arrange those by email. he will also schedule the meetings that way.
We'll work on a plan for Q3 in mid-july, gaba will clean the web board. In the meantime, we're in "vacation mode" until anarcat comes back from vacation, which means we mostly deal with support requests and emergencies, along with small projects that are already started.
# Icinga vs Prometheus
anarcat presented a preliminary draft of TPA-RFC-33, presenting the background, history, current setup, and requirements of the monitoring system.
lavamind will take some time to digest it and suggest changes. No further work is expected to happen on monitoring for a few weeks at least.
# Other discussions
We should review the Icinga vs Prometheus discussion at the next meeting. We also need to setup a new set of OKRs for Q3/Q4 or at least prioritize Q3 at the next meeting.
# Next meeting
Some time in July, to be determined.
# Metrics of the month
N/A we're not at the end of the month yet.
# Ticket filing star of the month
It has been suggested that people creating a lot of tickets in our issue trackers are "annoying". We strongly deny those claims and instead propose we spend some time creating a mechanism to determine the "ticket filing star" of the month, the person who will have filed the most (valid) tickets with us in the previous month.
Right now, this is pretty hard to extract from GitLab, so it will require a little bit of wrangling with the GitLab API, but it's a simple enough task. If no one stops anarcat, he may come up with something like this in the Hackweek. Or something.
