This page shall help us to coordinate additional meetings at the Summit.

Maybe you'd like to meet with a group of people to sit down and discuss a topic, and none of the other talks seem to cover it?

Which meetings will happen? Who is interested? Where to go? When?

Engineering Meetings

BOF15: IT, Labs/Services, Webdev collaboration

Projects move back and forth among these groups throughout a projects' lifecycle, but there can be lots of bumps along the way.

I'd like a meeting where people from these groups get together and we talk out ways to make everything move smoother. I guess the code phrase... to work together more like the web ;)

Topics (add yours):

  • introductions: give people a chance to meet each other
  • discuss our future -- how we will make things smoother/better/bigger/faster together
  • (hope we can keep this one short and productive): How can we improve the way we've handled deploying Django/Python apps? What's the state of git at Mozilla and how will we handle it moving forward?
  • how can we communicate what tools we're using, etc. so we can reduce overhead when spinning up new products? any ideas for code reuse, sharing, reviews across teams?

Proposed time and place:

  • Thursday, 5:00-6:00 (during World Expo setup)
  • Not sure where we'll end up, but we'll meet in the hall by registration

Want to come (add yourself):

  • Ian Bicking

Meeting Notes

BOF17: IT, RelEng: how to setup Build-VPN?

We need restricted access to RelEng production systems. First attempt at Build-VPN was uncleanly specified, and doesn't work well. Fixing this is a joint IT/RelEng goal for Q3.

Lets meet at whiteboard and brainstorm how to do this, before we start filing bugs and doing any work.

Proposed time and place:

  • 12:45: over lunch
  • lower dining room


Want to come (add yourself):

  • joduinn
  • mrz
  • dmoore

BOF18: RelEng Brownbag - and RelEng Roast

All you ever wanted to know about how the RelEng infrastructure works, and how you use it faster and more efficiently. Also, Q&A session to find suggestions for future improvements?

At the December2009 allhands, there were a couple of "RelEng Roast" sessions at Academy of Science and at 650castro which people found quite useful. If you have gripes, pet peeves of things to fix or a wishlist of things you'd like to see added, this is the place.

Proposed time and place:


Want to come (add yourself):

BOF19: RelEng, QA, Dev: How to Deal with Intermittent Oranges?

Intermittent test failures (oranges) are still an issue, perhaps even more so now that we have brand-new 64-bit operating systems in play.

Are people happy with brasstacks (http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/topfails/)? It seems to do most of the things we need to track intermittent test failures over time, but how many people are looking at it? At the risk of overburdening TBPL, do we need to link this info into TBPL somehow?

On the RelEng side, we had/have the facility to re-run certain tests multiple times in a row, but we've had it disabled for a while since no one was looking at the results.

Want to come (add yourself):

  • Chris Cooper
  • Joel Maher
  • Jesse Ruderman

Proposed time and place: Friday 13:15 - 14:00 (grab lunch early!) Meet around cafe/games room.

Topics (add yours):

  • Canary system
  • Fast-releases process
    • channels / feedback solicitation
    • next steps
  • 3.2
    • first alpha schedule

Proposed time and place: Friday 13:15 - 14:00 (grab lunch early!) Meet around games room, we'll try and borrow one of the empress rooms for half hour.

BOF28: Working Remotely

Are you a Mozilla "remotie"?


Mozilla is *very* distributed. Many work from our homes, not in an office. This requires a different way of working, keeping focused, keeping in touch with events elsewhere - including other remoties. Here's some quick pointers on what works and doesnt work for us.

If you work remotely, what works for you?

Schedule: Friday 1.15pm (grab a quick lunch and then come join us) Location: Empress C
