Friends of the Tree

Peter Bengtsson for adding the awesome new full-text search bar to Air Mozilla. This a quantum improvement to discoverability on AirMo.

Sheeri Cabral, Selena Deckelmann, Brandon Johnson, Brandon Burton and the team who made the search bar possible by putting the AirMo website up on stilts and sliding a whole new database engine under it… all with only minutes of downtime!

Also, a belated thanks to Sheeri Cabral (DBA), Brandon Burton (WebOps), Dave Lawrence (Bugzilla Developer), and Adrian Fernandez (SRE) for a pretty smooth and successful Bugzilla maintenance on October 12th
