    • Need to explicitly enable conflict checking
  • Manually triggering periodic jobs (frickler 20220531)
    • What is the correct process for manually triggering periodic jobs?
  • Zuul changing default Ansible version to v5 soon (clarkb 20220531)
    • Now that Zuul supports Ansible v5 the next step is to default to v5

    • Would help with checking for image freshness / builds failing
    • Also look into pushing stats into grafana?
  • Run a custom URL shortener service (frickler 20220611)
    • Many people use bit.ly or similar in IRC channel topics and elsewhere
    • https://opensource.com/article/18/7/apache-url-shortener shows an easy solution that could be git-based
    • Should be easy to with some new DNS record on static.o.o
    • Data could be managed in a single file (maybe in project-config) or one file per URL

• Open discussion
