Fellow Report - November 21, 2014

[Tim Graham]

I’m back to a more normal schedule as of the middle of this week after traveling. I’ve been busy trying to clear the “Ready for Checkin” queue. It’s great to see more people outside of the core team reviewing patches and marking them as RFC.

Yesterday I deployed the Django 1.7 update to djangoproject.org. So far, nothing broken has come to our attention as a result of the update.

I also spent some time reviewing the new formtools repo that Jannis has worked on (we are moving formtools out of contrib for those who might not be aware). I’m sure it could use a few more eyes before we do an initial release: https://github.com/django/django-formtools

Finally, I got an initial version of flake8 integration with pull requests working. The SQLite/Python 2.7 build will indicate a failure if there are any errors, however, you have to click through to see the errors, so it would be nice if we can get a better UI, like comment on the PR with the errors. I’d think there’s probably a plug-in for this.
