Grant money update & burn rate

~2 months left?

• we came in a little less in Feb vs Jan
• we'll run probably right about 2 months

What can we get done by the end of April?

• Dustin: get infra up & some traffic over, not all of it

• Ernest: positive: once we have infra up, can cut traffic over. Less concerned about turning off legacy - is positive we will hit that by end of April
• Nicole: a lot of nice to haves in there, could safely recategorize
• TODO Sumana to recategorize

When will we hear back on Open Tech Fund grant? - March 9

PyCon sprint planning

Sumana, Dustin, and (partially) Ernest to be there, but Nicole won't

• Ernest - don't count on his participation

Activities we could pre-plan/announce now:

• API keys? Luke Sneeringer? https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/994

• Bus factor promo? https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3121

Should we estimate what it will cost for us to be "working" at the sprints?

• Sumana to do this and talk with Ewa and Mark

• share info with Nicole re EuroPython

• Should we apply for a sprint grant? (Do sprint grants even exist?)

Milestone update (infra and features)

Milestone 3 (publicizing the beta): https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/10 and Milestone 4 (redirect & launch): https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/1

• relatedly: infra credits announcements? when?
• Mark is waiting for marketing stuff - Donald to poke Trevor

• Sumana to look through this & recategorize stuff that can wait

Ask Donald for

• review https://github.com/pypa/warehouse-camo/pull/1 Switch to fork with content length redirect

• review/merge/release https://github.com/pypa/readme_renderer/pull/65 Handle invalid address errors

• Sumana timing re visit

heads-up, Thursdays and Fridays are now his packaging days, rather than Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Bug triage

Anything from https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2976 or https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2982 for spam cleanup , like bulk delete from a supplied package name list, that we need to plan around?

• Sumana's double-checking here, knows this is not strictly MOSS work

• https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2969 and https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2991 are still open

• No, not now
• no action needed

Frontend tests per https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2154 , and cross-browser test UI per https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/1317 ?

• Sumana: fine to postpone. Your thoughts?
• lack of tests is not slowing Nicole down

• Nicole has access to BrowserStack - testing is easy - the problems that we find via it are the things that take time

• Analytics from last month (Feb 2018): Chrome 67.76%, Firefox 16.92%, Safari 7.38%, Internet Explorer 2.79%. Site has been built using Chrome - I don't foresee too many problems

• Testing the Stimulus controller(s) seems more feasible

Move Conveyor back to using test.pypi.org https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/1211

• Sumana: ok to postpone past shutdown?
• Dustin can do this if he can get access to the conveyor heroku app
• should deploy to cabotage on Thursday

TODOs

• Donald to do stuff in "ask Donald for" section, and to check with Trevor about credits and marketing
• Mark to follow up on 541, Ernest conversation re: infra, Open Tech Fund grant, other grant opportunities
• Sumana to recategorize less-essential Milestone 3, 4, and 5 issues (in progress), and talk with Ewa and Mark about sprint budget
• Nicole to reply to issues where she's been pinged
• Ernest to follow up on #1211
