Issues before Release

  • Moved to Phoenix 2 weeks ago
  • Jeremy Orem did a push on 6/21 thinking everything was fine. We had cancelled the push 1/2 an hour before. We had to quickly revert.

  • Fred was at Djangocon for a week
  • Ryan was predisposed with emergency family stuff for a week and Socorro Work Week

  • Staging should have been up and should have been checked
  • Created a release checklist
  • No monitors: Nagios and Hudson and both would have caught this

  • end of quarter goals push tension, lack-of-focus and tiredness
