Actions#
Help or discussion needed; Agenda Items for Monthly Meeting
1.1 Open PRs

Maybe we need a special label for these kinds of issues - we can talk abou this also on a broader scale regarding bringing people on
JupyterHub release
about to happen
help out with testing things if you have time
roll out to mybinder.org maybe next week for testing

Decisions needed
Rolling deployment strategy, for some context
discussion about rolling updates vs deploying at a fixed point in time (e.g. Monday afternoon)
currently we have the worst of both worlds infrequent, unscheduled deployments
hard to know what is currently live, what has been deployed but reverted, etc
revive the effort to automatically create PRs when there are changes to be merged in downstream repos
try two planned/schedule moment of deployment: Tuesday 7am Pacific time and Thursday 2pm Pacific time
