    • Header Slots - Brian Smith

      • Where to deploy?

• For the header plugin slot, I (Chelsea Rathbun ) added a few basic smoke tests to make sure for the user the header appears as expected on Rows 27-32 on the testing spreadsheet since we’ve added new plugin slots for those users that haven’t updated the header using the new header plugin slots. Did I miss any headers on the platform we should add tests for?

Nomination for a new Release Manager

Maksim Sokolskiy

As a group we agreed on the following:

• Nomination can be made by the person currently holding the role, but they are not expected to do so

• The appointment of a new person to the role must be made by the group Chair

• The new person can make the nomination in person

Switch to a release/sumac.masternaming

Maksim Sokolskiy

As a group, we have decided not to switch to the new naming in the middle of the testing period and to postpone the change to Teak. Changes will be planned accordingly.
