Here are minutes from Monday.
# Roll call: who's there and emergencies
Anarcat, Kez, and Lavamind present.
No emergencies.
# Roadmap / OKR review
Only one month left to the quarter! Where are we? As a reminder, we
generally hope to accomplish 60-70% of OKRs, by design, so they're not
supposed to be all done.
[TPA OKRs]: roughly 17% done
* [mail services] work has not started, the RFC proposal took longer
than expected and we're waiting on a decision before starting any work
* [Retirements] might progress with a gitolite/gitweb retirement RFC
spearheaded by anarcat
* [codebase cleanup] work has progressed only a little, often gets
pushed to the side by emergencies
* [Bullseye upgrade] has only 6 machines left in the second batch. We
need to close 3 more tickets to get at 60% on *that* OKR, and that's
actually likely: the [second batch] is likely to finish by the end
of the month, the [primary ganeti cluster upgrade] is planned, and
the [PostgreSQL warnings] will be done today
* [High-performance cluster]: "New Relic" is giving away money, we
need to write a grant proposal in 3 days though, possibly not going to
happen

[Web OKRs]: 42% done overall!
* The donate OKR is about 25% complete
* translation OKR seems complete, no one has any TODO items on that
anyways, so considered done (100%!)
* docs OKR:
* dev.tpo work hasn't started yet, might be possible to start
depending on kez availability?
* documentation improvement might be good for hack week

... and per-user dashboards, not much to reshuffle.
# Icinga vs Prometheus again

Upgrade prediction graph lives at bullseye · Wiki · The Tor Project / TPA / TPA team · GitLab
We have managed to still speed up our upgrades progression from last
time, moving from December to October as a predicted completion
date. That's not as fast as last estimate (2 years acceleration!) but
it's still quite satisfying.
