<div dir="ltr"><div>What's great about the train schedule is that it's consistent.

If we leave them unaltered, the dates for cutting out upcoming trains<br class="gmail_msg">
are as follows:<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* train-73: 01 November<br class="gmail_msg">
* train-74: 14 November<br class="gmail_msg">
* train-75: 28 November<br class="gmail_msg">
* train-76: 12 December<br class="gmail_msg">
* train-77: 26 December<br class="gmail_msg">
* train-88: 09 January<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
But we've got quite a lot of disrupted scheduled coming up:<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
* The US thanksgiving weekend is 24th November<br class="gmail_msg">
* Our Ops folks will be out at AWS:reinvent week of 28th November<br class="gmail_msg">
* We're all in Hawaii week of 5th December<br class="gmail_msg">
* Several of us are taking leave after Hawaii as well<br class="gmail_msg">
* The holiday season kicks in in late December<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
So does it make sense to shorten or lengthen or skip some of these<br class="gmail_msg">
trains? Or should we just keep them all on schedule and accept that<br class="gmail_msg">
they may be smaller than usual, or deployed a little layer?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
In particular, I'm thinking it probably doesn't make sense to cut<br class="gmail_msg">
train-75 at the start of the week of AWS:reinvent when :jrgm and :jbuck<br class="gmail_msg">
most likely won't have the bandwidth to deploy it. Perhaps we can save<br class="gmail_msg">
it up and deploy while we're all together in Hawaii?<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
