Participants (alphabetical): Conor, Emmanuel, Erik, Heartsucker, Jen, Kevin, Kushal, Mike, Mickael, Nina

Call-outs

• Code review time slot tomorrow; nominate to remove unless needed for critical path work
• Testing requirements for app-test. Role is still running in staging. -> More discussion in Gitter
• Jen: I made a PR which runs the application/functional tests for each PR against Xenial. Will fail for now, so we would merge changes with failing CI for that one test. Needs repo-wide settings change. (Consensus to proceed.)
