### Problem to solve With https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/35463 we are adding the option to add a status message (emoji and text) to your user profile. In this first iteration, the status information can be added from the user profile preferences. A short list of predefined statuses for common use cases/reference is missing. ### Proposal Let's work out a few predefined status messages that cover relevant GitLab use cases and add them as an alternative to a custom message. Pre-defined status messages consist of an emoji and a message. These will be shipped as built-in. options. Proposals to discuss. | Emoji | Message | | --- | --- | | :house\_with\_garden: | Working remotely | | :thermometer\_face: | Out sick | | :palm\_tree: | Vacationing | | :mailbox\_closed: | Out of office | | :zzz: | Away | | *more* | *?* | <img src="/uploads/b557ec31c48c284a3158007a97be23b1/Screen_Shot_2018-07-09_at_11.55.21_AM.png" height="280"/> ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? A list of predefined status messages are available in addition to adding custom statuses.
