It&#8217;s the Webdev Extravaganza! The meeting is open to the public; you should stop by!<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.mozilla.org\/Webdev\/Meetings\/2016\/April\">wiki page<\/a> that we use to organize the meeting, or view a <a href=\"https:\/\/air.mozilla.org\/webdev-extravaganza-april-2016\/\">recording of the meeting<\/a> in Air Mozilla. Or just read on for a summary!<\/p>\n<h2>Shipping Celebration<\/h2>\n<p>The shipping celebration is for anything we finished and deployed in the past month, whether it be a brand new site, an upgrade to an existing one, or even a release of a library.<\/p>\n<h3>A-Frame v0.2.0<\/h3>\n<p>First up was <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ngokevin\">ngoke<\/a>, who shared the news that <a href=\"https:\/\/aframe.io\/\">A-Frame<\/a> shipped a new release! The v0.2.0 release focuses on extensibility by improving the Component API and adding a slew of new objects that can be registered for use in the framework. A <a href=\"https:\/\/aframe.io\/blog\/2016\/03\/31\/aframe-v0.2.0\/\">blog post<\/a> is available that explains the changes.<\/p>\n<h3>Let&#8217;s Encrypt Switches to Pip 8<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/ErikRose\/\">ErikRose<\/a> wasn&#8217;t able to attend, but left notes on the wiki about <a href=\"https:\/\/letsencrypt.org\/\">Let&#8217;s Encrypt<\/a> switching from <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/erikrose\/peep\/\">peep<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/pip.pypa.io\/\">pip 8<\/a> for installing its requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>DXR Indexing Most Mozilla-Central Branches<\/h3>\n<p>Erik also left a note mentioning that <a href=\"https:\/\/dxr.mozilla.org\/\">DXR<\/a>, Mozilla&#8217;s code browser and search tool for the Firefox codebase, now indexes more branches from mozilla-central, including Aurora, Beta, Central, ESR45, and Release.<\/p>\n<h3>Pipstrap 1.1.1<\/h3>\n<p>The last note that Erik left mentioned that <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/erikrose\/pipstrap\">Pipstrap<\/a>, a small script for bootstrapping a hash-checked version of Pip, shipped a new release that fixes an error reporting bug under Python 2.6.<\/p>\n<h3>Snippets in AWS + Deis<\/h3>\n<p>Next up was <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/bensternthal\/\">bensternthal<\/a>, who shared the news that <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/snippets-service\/\">snippets.mozilla.com<\/a> is now hosted on Engagement Engineering&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/deis.io\/\">Deis<\/a> cluster in <a href=\"https:\/\/aws.amazon.com\/\">AWS<\/a>. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/giorgos\/\">giorgos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/jmize\/\">jgmize<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/pmac\/\">pmac<\/a> for helping to move the site over! Ben also mentioned that <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/basket\">Basket<\/a> is the next service slated to move over.<\/p>\n<h2>Open-source Citizenship<\/h2>\n<p>Here we talk about libraries we&#8217;re maintaining and what, if anything, we need help with for them.<\/p>\n<h3>New django-csp Maintainer<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/pmac\/\">pmac<\/a> stopped by to let us know that he is taking over maintenance of <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/mozilla\/django-csp\/\">django-csp<\/a>. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/jsocol\/\">jsocol<\/a> for authoring and maintaining the library until now!<\/p>\n<h3>Hashin Python Version Filtering<\/h3>\n<p>Last up was <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/peterbe\/\">peterbe<\/a>, who shared news of a new release of <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/peterbe\/hashin\">hashin<\/a>. The main addition is a <code>--python-version<\/code> flag, which allows you to filter the hashes hashin adds by python versions that you plan to use, reducing the number hashes added. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/mozillians.org\/en-US\/u\/mythmon\/\">mythmon<\/a> for submitting the patch!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in web development at Mozilla, or want to attend next month&#8217;s Extravaganza, subscribe to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lists.mozilla.org\/listinfo\/dev-webdev\">dev-webdev@lists.mozilla.org mailing list<\/a> to be notified of the next meeting, and maybe send a message introducing yourself.
