* Updates:
** Not putting it to Blocked By yet, but we've been struggling with Jenkins
recently. Maybe Release Engineering would be interested in hearing those
thoughts?
*** There have been multiple tests flapping, which are included in gated
skins and extensions.  These are annoying and a waste of CI resources since
the usual response is to just 'recheck' an inappropriate number of times.
We would like to see some way of increasing the visibility of these
failures and encouraging either skipping or fixing.
*** The CI and Zuul dashboards in Grafana don't seem to include failure
metrics--We'd be especially interested in tracking how often a patch gets
V+2 and then tests fail during gate-and-submit.

== SoS Meeting Bookkeeping ==
* Updates:
** Deb volunteered for backup facilitator 🎉 (still looking for one more)
** The meeting starts at 15:35 UTC. If 15:40 UTC would be a better starting
time, let me know.
