This is a reduced view, showing just the "status" column, last updated date, and list of linked URLs.
An item being here doesn't mean I'm necessarily working on it or own it; it may just be something I want to keep tabs on, or relates to some work of mine. On the other hand, if I do own something or am working on it, it'll be here!
Do not be alarmed. Entries are excluded from this view if they link to any confidential issues, or any issues or MRs in any non-public project. If you can see it here, it's public.
Closed entries are only shown from the current quarter. This isn't meant to reflect anything other than what's in my augmented working memory right now.
If you see one of these emoji in the Status column, it reflects the mergeability
checks of the first-listed MR in the URLs list:
