End of email notifications about upcoming Looker deployments & release notes

[Ezra_Wolfe]

I wanted to provide feedback about the decision to end the email communication of deployments and release notes and moving this into Looker itself.

As a customer using Looker as an embedded BI tool, we just aren’t in Looker every week, sometimes every month. If a breaking change is released we need as much notification as possible to address it quickly for our customers. It was great to get that release email, review the changes and adjust as necessary. Now I’m concerned we’ll have to create a new process that requires proactively going into Looker every week(?) and checking for release notes and deployment information.

Does anyone else feel this is a step backward?

Anyone replace this with some kind of automation?

Thanks!
