I recently added a Gerrit instance at Wikimedia for doing code review and git repository management for our puppet repository. Since I’m using a new tool, I need a new working environment to go with it.

Our puppet configuration is broken into two environments (production and labs), each environment having a public and private repository. Inside of these repositories our configuration is broken into three main directories: files, templates, manifests. I often jump between repositories, directories within repositories, and branches within different screen windows.

The information I need to know is this:

• The current working directory in each screen window

Really, I’ve been with the foundation for a year and a month, so this post is a little late. My first post on this was also a month late; so, at least this is an update of what I did for the past year.

Question is, did I meet the goals I set for last year? Here’s my goals from last year with the results:

1. Learn how to deal with Wikimedia infrastructure during an emergency situation, so that we don’t have to constantly wake up the same folks
• Success. I handled a number of outages without needing to page anyone.
