Hi,<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
i was recently asked <\/span>if v<\/span>olunteers can help with Sheriffing!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And the answer is very simple: Of course you can and you are very welcome!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
As every part of Mozilla, <\/span>v<\/span>olunteers are very important. Our <\/span>t<\/span>eam is mixed of Full-Time Employees and Volunteers.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What is needed to <\/span>join<\/span> as Community Sheriff:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I think basically there are 3 things you need to have to <\/span>participate<\/span> as Community Sheriff:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-> Communication Skills and Teamwork – Sheriffing means a lot of <\/span>c<\/span>ommunication – <\/span>c<\/span>ommunication with the other <\/span>s<\/span>heriff Teams, <\/span>d<\/span>evelopers and <\/span>t<\/span>eams like Taskcluster and Release Engineering.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
-> Background Knowledge how Bugzilla works (commenting in <\/span>b<\/span>ugs, <\/span>r<\/span>esolving <\/span>b<\/span>ugs and <\/span>s<\/span>etting <\/span>f<\/span>lags etc)<\/span><\/div>\n
-> Ability to see context & relationships between failures (like the relation of a set of failures to a checkin) to identify the changeset that cause<\/span>s<\/span> the regression.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All our tools are public accessible and you don’t need any specific ac<\/span>cess<\/span> rights to get started.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our <\/span>m<\/span>ain tool is <\/span>T<\/span>reeherder (<\/span>https:\/\/treeherder.mozilla.org <\/a><\/span>and the first tas<\/span>k<\/span> a Community Sheriff could <\/span>do is to<\/span> watch <\/span>Treeherder<\/span> and star failures<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We have described this task here\u00a0 <\/span>https:\/\/mzl.la\/2l2T7NJ<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That would help us a lot!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When you are curious how a day in Sheriffing look<\/span>s<\/span> then maybe <\/span>https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/tomcat\/2015\/07\/03\/a-day-in-sheriffing\/<\/a><\/span> can help \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please let us know when you are interested in becoming a Sheriff! You can find us on irc.mozilla.org in the #sheriffs channel!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cheers,<\/div>\n
