Today should be about the build. The team have some questions about whether we need to do dev and test builds sequentially (is it just a habit - or is there some value?); also with the increase in the number of environments needed, I want to see if we streamline the deployment / test env creation a bit. We're also due to spend some time looking at the new models, and how they work / what they're for.
Build started - probably some work needed on the release notes to ease automation, and also on the process; maybe a culture of checking the release notes page in London by Thursday close would help Delhi build manager.
Good meeting with Mitts, Monika & Abhishek re the new models. It helped clarify my understanding of the models, but also demonstrates that we need to take extra care that the team here receive a better flow of knowledge.
Some builds issues - mainly database (naturellement, I hear you cry)...need to look at increasing automated build checks for db commits, triggered by bamboo (perhaps scheduled nightly db build, but maybe 10g will give ability to rapidly refresh to a known state, and then build...?)
Traditional Indian pizza lunch in the canteen with all the Delhi team. It's like normal pizza, but with 1 important difference...
Usual London business in the arvo - jiras, emails, and finalise everything for trip back.
Interesting meeting with Pravin towards the end of the day.
