Hi everyone!
Two new sysadmins were hired, so we're holding meetings again! Welcome again to kez and lavamind, who both joined us last week.
Here are the minutes from the meeting we held on June 14 and 16.
# Roll call: who's there and emergencies
* anarcat * gaba * kez * lavamind
No emergencies.
# Triage & schedules
* Introduce the triage system * the "triage star of the weeks" rotates every two weeks * the star triages the boards regularly, making sure there are no "Open" tickets, and assigning tickets or dealing with small tickets * see also [TPA-RFC-5][] for the labeling nomenclature * we were doing weekly checkins with hiro during the handover on wednesday, since we were both part time * work schedules: * j: monday, tuesday - full day; wednesday - partially * kez: flexible - TBD * anarcat: monday to thursday - full day
[TPA-RFC-5]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/policy/tpa-rfc-5-gitlab#r...
# Communication in the team
What is expected? When to bring it in IRC versus email versus ticket? Acknowledgements.
* we expect people to update tickets when they work on them * we expect acknowledgements when people see their names mentions on IRC
# Short term planning: anarcat going AFK
This basically involves making sure our new hires have enough work while they are gone.
We reviewed the Doing/Next columns and assign issues in the [TPA board][] and [web board][].
[web board]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/web/-/boards [TPA board]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/groups/tpo/tpa/-/boards
We also reviewed the letter anarcat later sent to `tor-internal@` (private, not linked here).
Then the meeting paused after one hour.
When we returned on wednesday, we jumped to the roadmap review (below), and then returned here to briefly review the Backlog.
We reviewed anarcat's queue to make sure things would be okay after he left, and also made sure kez and lavamind had enough work. gaba will make sure they are assigned work from the Backlog as well.
# Roadmap review
Review and prioritize:
* [yearly TPA roadmap][] * web * [board][] * [priorities][]
[yearly TPA roadmap]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/roadmap/2021 [board]: board [priorities]: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/web/team
## Web priorities allocations (sort out by priorities)
We reviewed the priorities page and made sure we had most of the stuff covered. We don't assign tasks directly in the wiki page, but we did a tentative assignation pass here:
* Donations page redesign (support to Openflows) - kez * Onion Services v2 deprecation support - lavamind * Improves bridges.torproject.org - kez * Remove outdated documentation from the header - kez & gus * Migrate blog.torproject.org from Drupal To Lektor: it needs a milestone and planning - lavamind * Support forum - lavamind * Developer portal - lavamind & kez * Get website build from jenkins into to gitlabCI for the static mirror pool (before December) - kez * Get up to speed on maintenance tasks: * Bootstrap upgrade - lavamind * browser documentation update (this is content and mostly is on gus's plate) gus * get translation stats available - kez * rename 'master' branch as 'main' - lavamind * fix wiki for documentation - gaba * get onion service tooling into tpo gitlab namespace - lavamind
## TPA roadmap review
We reviewed the TPA roadmap for the first time since the beginning of the year, which involved going through the first two quarters to identify what was done and missed. We also established the priorities for Q3 and Q4. Those changes are mostly contained in [this commit on the wiki][].

# Other discussions
No new item came up in the meeting, which already was extended an extra hour to cover for the extra roadmap work.
# Next meeting
* we do quick checkin on monday 14 UTC 10 eastern, at the beginning of the office hours * we do monthly meetings instead of checkins on the first monday of the month
# Metrics of the month
Those were sent on June 2nd, it would be silly to send them again.
