[Wikitech-l] Gerrit upgrade (w/ short downtime) tomorrow

Hi all, Tomorrow evening (18:30–19:30 UTC) I'll be taking Gerrit offline shortly for a planned upgrade from 2.12.5 to 2.13.3. It shouldn't take the full hour, but you never know :) If you play the deployment game regularly, you'll notice I've cancelled[0] tomorrow's "SF Morning SWAT" window

Re: [Wikitech-l] Discussion Platform

Some of us have been using matrix.org, which is an open system with many of the features expected from a modern chat system. It also bridges to IRC, but usability and reliability of that bridging can still be improved. See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:GWicke/Matrix.org for instructions.

[Wikitech-l] Discussion Platform
