Event Timeline

dcaro updated the task description. (Show Details)

Thanks for adding the timeline, I think it's very useful!

We identified 22 maintainers with a list of tools that could benefit from build service.
But I have excluded bd808(Bryan) and andrewbogott from the list.

So in all, I've reached out to 20 maintainers.

dcaro changed the task status from Open to In Progress.May 16 2023, 12:58 PM
dcaro moved this task from Backlog to Doing on the Toolforge Build Service (Beta release) board.

There's a google doc where I'm collecting the feedbacks in one place.

We have moved a bit the dates as some of us will be unavailable :)

I have sent the feedback summary to toolforge roots

We have revised the date for the second round of invites.
This is to allow us add this feature T265691 suggested by Taavi.

dcaro moved this task from Doing to Done on the Toolforge Build Service (Beta release) board.

The draft for open beta announcement will be shared with cloud-admin mailing list before the final announcement.
