Mozbase workweek
- Two weeks ago, jgriffin, ahal, jhammel, wlach, ctalbert, chmanchester, mihneahdb, and gps gathered in SF to roadmap / plan the next steps for mozbase
- We now have a vision statement / elevator pitch for mozbase: "A mozilla-centered standard library to help us (and you!) build things faster"
- Moving away from emphasis in Q3 from "refactor all harnesses to mozbase" to "make it easier to bring up automation for new platforms using mozbase"
- So for example, this means that refactoring the fennec automation in m-c to use mozbase is less important. So we're not going to do that in Q3. But work to finish B2G refactoring to use mozrunner continues to be a priority, as the work there will form an example that will hopefully make bringing up things like Mochitest on new platforms easier.
- Other mozbase work in Q3: Bugfixing / mirroring improvements (jhammel), unit tests (ffledging), documentation (wlach), structured logging (chmanchester).
- Lots more notes here (thanks ahal): https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Mozbase/Automation-Refactor/Meetings/2013-07-02

Process (4th Monday)
Sheriffing & Trees
- Gaia commit permissions have been given to {edmorley, KWierso, Tomcat} (RyanVM already had them) so we're now able to back out gaia commits upstream, if they caused breakage when the in-tree manifest was updated by the gaia auto-committer bot.
- [edmorley] A vpn_sheriff LDAP group has been created with members {edmorley, KWierso, philor, RyanvM, Tomcat}, which grants use of the RelEng slavealloc dashboard & access to the buildbot masters using the new unified MozillaVPN (see bug 886078, bug 887033 & bug 887450). This allows sheriffs to view the live stdout of running jobs (see bookmarklet in bug 809908 for making this quick from TBPL), control runaway buildslaves & perform more specific job retriggering.
- [edmorley] Patch to fix the mercurial commit message hook for gaia.json auto-commits (bug 887184).
