Fellow Report - October 31, 2015

[Tim Graham]

On the infrastructure front, I completed pull request integration for the Windows build, so that’s a new status check that runs on all pull requests that also run the tests on Linux.

Sorry about the djangoproject.com outage on Monday -- that was due to some unexpected problems during Rackspace maintenance and out of our hands. Thanks to Florian and Jannis for investigating it while I was asleep.

I’m arriving in London on Monday morning for a couple days before traveling to Amsterdam for Django Under the Hood. If you are in London and would like to meet up, shoot me an email. I always enjoy meeting Django users and contributors. I look forward to meeting old and new friends at the conference too!
