Operations / SRE

  • Hardware requests for next fiscal year

Misc

Wrote a small patch to cleanup error handling of CirrusSearch writes (work initially started by Emmanuel).

  • Tried to figure out what is going on with WCQS/commons next year, if anything.
  • Met with Growth team to talk about product collaboration between reader/editor needs and search, disc, brows. There is a lot of shared thinking and overlap, and hopefully there's some room to collaborate with the team on reader discovery stuff.
