Hi Elliot,
Glad to hear you are working on the upgrade!

The error I can see is the worker disconnecting.
Looking at the timeing it looks like this is always after 16min more of
less 5 sec.
I would guess you have something that do something like killlall python on
the machine every 16min

I can't think of another reason explaining this.

What you would do is rather to use the role from group. At the moment, we
only have support for group == organisation in hte GitHubAuth provider. I
think this may make sense to add the concept of group == github team, but
this would need some more development.

This was like this in the begining of the devlopment.
But we got feedback that people find it annoying to need constant open and
close the menu, so we setup a automatic pin if the screen is larger than a
certain threshold.
That said, after testing again today, it looks like we have a regression on
the horizontal display of the build page. It is supposed to adapt much
better than it currently does
I need to look at it. http://trac.buildbot.net/ticket/3614#ticket

Thanks for you feedbacks
