Thanks Željko! I thought this morning's pairing session was very valuable, and although I'm familiar with some of the specific tools involved, this pairing session gave me a great introduction to how the WMF is using those tools, and provided direction on a workflow to use in trying to determine the source of some of those red dots in Jenkins. So now I'll see if I can figure out how to make some of those red dots turn green!
I would definitely encourage others on this list who are trying to get their feet wet to consider doing a paired programming session with Željko, since it's a great way to get an orientation as to how all the pieces fit together!
