Hi!
Here are our monthly minutes.
# Roll call: who's there and emergencies
anarcat, groente, lavamind, lelutin and zen present, no emergency
warranting a change in schedule.

# First quarter recap
We reviewed our [plan for Q1] and observed we've accomplished a lot of work:
- Puppet Gitlab MR workflow
- MinIO RFC
- Prometheus work
- download page work stalled
- lots of email work done
- good planning on the tails merge as well
All around a pretty succesful, if really busy, quarter.

# Second quarter priorities and coordination
We evaluated what we're hoping to do in the second quarter, and there's
again a lot to be done:
- upgrade to trixie, batch 1 (last week of april, first week of may!),
batch 2 in may/june if all goes well
- rdsys and snowflake containerization (VM setup in progress for the
latter)
- network team test network (VM setup in progress)
- mail monitoring improvements
- authentication merge plan
- minio in production (RFC coming up)
- puppet merge work starting
- weblate and jenkins upgrades at the end of the quarter?
# Holidays planning
We have started planning for the northern hemisphere "summer" holidays,
as people have already started booking things up for July and August.
So far, it looks like we'll have one week with a 3-person overlap,
leaving still 2 people on shifts. We've shuffled shifts around to keep
the number of shifts over the year constant but avoid having people on
shifts while on vacations and maxmizing the period between shifts to
reduce the pain.
As usual, we're taking great care to not leave everyone, all at once, on
vacation in high risk activities.
