Shout outs

  • Being more proactive around making tech debt and bugfixing part of every sprint planning on top of having specific bugfixing/tech debt weeks

  • Doing continuous translations rather than a massive list at the end of the sprint. (Loic)

  • More specific process for translations?

  • What happened to post-release vacation? (I never heard of post-release vacation? (smile) )

  • I would like to get involved in non-sensitive styling issues - ie: SASS or CSS (Loic).

  • Working on tickets that need translators right before a release date

  • Stop releasing on Fridays

  • 2 week release cycle!! (Unanimous agreement!!)

  • Post release patch (they are easy, and fun – and the alternative is stricter code freeze)

  • I want to validate all visual and user sensitive tickets (Loic)

  • Dev control of the release process / checklist

  • One day a week of plain focus.

  • One reviewer per PR.

  • Paid testers.

  • Target Tuesdays (to Thursdays as necessary) for release

  • I would like to say a huge thank you to the whole team for their support. Especially to Antonella for all her efforts to help me learn JavaScript.

  • Anto Sgarlatta for leading our smoothest release process yet! (And also to patch team – we did really well too!)

  • All the team for doing great work (heart)
