Cold numbers:
15 issues have been successfully integrated, with 4 rejected - 78% success, quite some difference to the 80 per week at the tail end of the last release cycle!
Notes:
This week Linting of behat .feature files landed into master using gherkin-lint and run automatically using grunt. At the moment we use it ensure consistent indentaion and avoid duplicate names, but more lint rules may be enabled in future
Are you using calendar_event_hook() - it is due to be removed in 3.3, see Removal of calendar_event_hook().
Active record, in Moodle? Maybe! See the branch heading to integration in MDL-57273 and dev docs: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Persistent
Do you know on some pages we include YUI2, YUI3, and jQuery? As we make Moodle more dynamic we need to reduce this client-side bloat. It would be great to reduce our depdencies on legacy JS, especially for things that can have a presence on every page. Perhaps you can help out with reducing javascript-static.js (MDL-57470) or making YUI2 finally disapear (MDL-36373)? Think about greping your add-on plugins and try modernising them before we force your hand with a depreciation, it might mean you can contribute a common helper that reduces the work for other developers, every little helps!
Today 3 integrators will be gathering in spain for a (rare and relatively impromptu) in-person meeting til Sunday, we aim to discuss various improvements to integration infrastructure, upcoming Moodle development areas and our role in supporting and interacting with developers. If you think there is something we should discuss, please do get in touch
Hot topics:
- MDL-53367 - Importing a forum with auto subscription does not subscribe current users

Warm thanks:
To Dan Marsden, thanked for contributing to Moodle in too many ways to mention, but most recently for his work on maintaining mod_scorm and fantastic contribution as a Plugins Guardian helping to support our healthy community of add-on developers.
