Standup Notes 2019 06 13

Participants (alphabetical): Allie, Conor, Erik, Jen, John, Kevin, Kushal, Mickael, Nina (async)

Topics and Call-outs

• Python 3 mod_wsgi! (Unsatisfied pip dependency on clean install. We're pulling in unneeded system Python dependencies.)

• Next steps for client logout impl on this sprint. Current PR: When user clicks on logout, it will immediately hit logout endpoint. Attempts to log out in the background.

  • Mickael will update existing PR #418 to log user out immediately, then send token revocation request (and report failure if warranted)
  • Jen will file follow-up issue for investigating "priority queue" or similar approaches that could be used to urgently keep retrying jobs like logout, deletion indefinitely
  • No work on token revocation retry behavior this sprint
