All-hands Status Meeting Agenda
Items in this section will be shared during the live all-hand status meeting.
Friends of the Tree
- Pierre-Louis Augier aka pl6025 for answering the huge amount of emails that arrived on the contribute-fr mailing list , nicely explaining to people what to do if they needed help or wanted to help.
- Konstantina Papadea, Alexandros Mioglou and Thalia Papoutsaki (the team leader) for not only volunteering to help localize Facebook posts in Greek, but by also taking the initiative to start their new community Twitter account, @Firefox_GR (give them a follow!)
- Team Aviary.PL for adding localizing Facebook posts in Polish to their Firefox to-do list.
- Our long-time awesome social media volunteers from Mozilla Hispano, Mozilla PT, Mozilla DE, Mozilla ID. Thanks to all our super teams, we are now posting in 7 languages! Woot! for our social superstars!
- Jake Watkins (dividehex) and Kim Moir (kmoir) For re-wiring all the panda boards so that they are less flaky!
- Francisco Picolini (franc), Guillermo López (willyaranda), Rubén Martín (nukeador) & Mozilla Hispano for their support and participation at Saturday’s Firefox OS App Workshop in Madrid.
- SUMO contributors satdav, feer56, zombie, espressive, tjovanovic, iNerd, ariestiyansyah, yalam96, pychen, hermina_condei, willyaranda, adampeebleswrites, Tonnes, Swarnava, and Scoobidiver for their awesome work on the Firefox OS User Guide
- Last week’s B2G workweek was awesome. Literally. To make that happen, a bunch of invisible prep-work happened.
- Nightly builds
- now generate device builds for: Arm (panda boards), Otoro, Unagi, Unagi-ENG, Inari, Hamachi, Leo
- for each of those devices, we generate “nightly” builds twice a day. Once for 8am PDT morning. Once for 8am Madrid CET morning.
- … on each of mozilla-central, mozilla-b2g18, mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1
- Stood up an extra 250 slaves. More importantly, created 22 masters in AWS so we now have 70 masters and can quickly burst to create more slaves if needed.
- Reimaged 80 in-house build & test machines to optimize for Firefox OS development based on recent usage trend.
- Opened up an alternate to mozilla-inbound; birch allowed b2g-workweek developers a less crowded branch to land on.
- Nightly builds
All those change made a big difference. Last week, 1490 checkins were landed, and all systems held above 90% for the week!

60 Seconds with Mozilla IT
Speaker Location: mrz in MV
- Ever wonder what Mozilla IT is or what we do?
- We keep the lights on.
- We’re like your landlord – when the roof blows off, the ceiling leaks or the outside needs repainting, we do it. But we have no control over the furniture. Sometimes we see tenants on their way in or out or we’re called in when they’re having a loud party but other than that, we stay out of your way.
- In other words, “we make sure the house is in good shape but we can always give tips about the indoors.”
- If you want to have a loud party, let us know! We love parties!
- File under “What you don’t see might be more important than what you do see”
- Last week Mozilla suffered a huge multi-day outage with our fiber provider between Northern California and Arizona. It took down both fiber connections.
- Everything failed over to the backup VPN.
- I bet no one even knew this!
