Technically true, but not very useful
The big red box says, "The current time and date is 4:24 pm, Today (UTC−4)." Maybe display that with the actual date? -- RoySmith (talk) 20:26, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , do you have a script that alters the display date? It shows up properly for me. – bradv  🍁  20:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , Hmm, interesting. If I go into Special:Preferences/Appearance/Date format, I've got "No preference" checked.  If I select one of the other options, (say, "21:09, September 23, 2019"), that gets it displayed as an absolute date.  -- RoySmith (talk) 21:12, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , I adjusted the header so both date/times are displayed the same way, so they should be affected equally by any scripts. Hopefully that helps you. – bradv  🍁  21:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I changed the current date line to CURRENTDATE, to get rid of the 'hey, it's today!' problem. Feel free to change it back if it messes things up for people. Katietalk 13:14, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , do you have the Change UTC-based times and dates... gadget enabled? —DoRD (talk)​ 13:54, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do, but it looks like it's a little more complicated than just that. I did some experimenting in User:RoySmith/sandbox/currentdate.  With the gadget turned off, all four variations give me an absolute date.  With the gadget turned on, only   gets turned into Today; all the others give me absolute dates.  -- RoySmith (talk) 14:35, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * PS, with only some minor prodding, I could turn this into a rant about PHP, in-band markup, and/or using regexes for parsing :-) -- RoySmith (talk) 14:38, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Onboarding?
for new appointees, what are the next steps for enrolling in mailing lists and OTRS? — xaosflux  Talk 13:35, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * can help with local mailing lists. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:54, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * We're just waiting for everyone to provide their details and sign the disclosure, then will be doing everything all at once. That's right isn't it? WormTT(talk) 14:05, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update, wanted to make sure we didn't need to apply manually for OTRS. — xaosflux  Talk 14:14, 15 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Shiuld be all done or in progress now. If one of the OTRS admins doesn't contact you shortly, let me know. Katietalk 19:54, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
