View source for Release Management/Day 1 Checklist

Welcome to Release Management.

Here's a list of accounts to set up, tools to check out, and any other details we can think of to help you start getting yourself set up.

=Account Permissions=
You'll want to make sure you have the necessary permissions to do the following and some will take longer than others to achieve so start early:
* Bugs
** Request for your bugzilla account to be added to mozilla-next-drivers and mozilla-stable-branch-drivers groups in order to set tracking flags -- file a bug (eg: {{bug|962151}}). 
** [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/bugs/#expanding Security permission] comes later.
* Repos
** svn commit access to http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/ for modifying product-details-- file a bug (eg: {{bug|962171}})
** hg commit access (scm_level3) -- read http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/committer/, fill out a committer agreement, file a bug (eg: {{bug|738713}} except you'll request commit access, not elevation of current permissions) You will need two [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#Core owners or peers for a core hg module] to vouch for you as described in [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/commit/access-policy/ Commit Access Policy]. 

* Communications
** admin permissions for https://relman.etherpad.mozilla.org
* Builds
** Ask to be added to the LDAP group called ''verbatim'' by filing a bug in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Infrastructure%20%26%20Operations&component=Infrastructure%3A%20LDAP Infrastructure & Operations::Infrastructure:LDAP]. This will give you permission to access to https://l10n.mozilla.org/
** Ask to be added to the group ''shipit'' too to get access to the build tool & l10n, by filing a bug in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Infrastructure%20%26%20Operations&component=Infrastructure%3A%20LDAP Infrastructure & Operations::Infrastructure:LDAP]. Example: {{Bug|1135198}}
** Request Mozilla VPN access (required to access ship-it)
* Release Notes
** Request admin access to https://nucleus.mozilla.org by filing a bug in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Websites&component=Nucleus Websites::Nucleus]. Example: {{Bug|1135186}}

Many folks run a BNC (an IRC bouncer) (e.g. znc) and/or <tt>irssi</tt> under screen to get continuous view of traffic. Ask around.

See [[#pastebin|below]] for a local pastebin install, so you don't paste huge amounts in channel.

==EtherPAD==

EtherPad is a great tool for dynamic collaboration during meetings, brainstorming, or other times when you need to collaborate: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ for general use

==Pastebin==

There's a local pastebin instance at http://pastebin.mozilla.org/, so you don't need to paste multi-lines into a channel. Use this handy [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/file/tip/utils/pastebin helper script] to pipe to pastebin from terminal.

    it creates a new page from stdin, and outputs the url to stdout
    an argument will be interpretted as the syntax highlighting format to use
    sample usage: hg diff | pastebin python | pbcopy (last part mac specific)
    set & export PASTEBIN_NAME if you don't want to post as anonymous.

==Planet==
Add a bug similar to {{bug|605709}} to get your blog syndicated on http://planet.mozilla.org. You can choose to send every post, or create a feed for a custom tag (eg: 'mozilla').  Having your blog syndicated to planet is a great channel for announcing new features (along with tweeting and posting to newsgroups).

=Software=

==Firefox==

# Please download & install Firefox [http://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/channel/#aurora aurora], [http://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/channel/#beta beta] and [http://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/channel/#firefox release]
# [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#w_creating-a-profile Create new profiles] for each version + your own profile.

==VPN==

* Configure your system to access to the Mozilla VPN in order to get access to internal tools.
* Then, report a bug in ''Infrastructure & Operations: Mozilla VPN: ACL requests'' to get the ACL to ship-it and bedrock.productdetail. Example: {{bug|986037}} and {{bug|1001632}}
* Request permissions on bedrock.productdetail (it is not connected to the LDAP). ping TODO
* Note that using the Mozilla DNS servers is necessary to resolve the necessary URLs

= Fun Tips & Tricks =
== Vidyo Conference Rooms ==
Sometimes when you're on the go and you need to dial into a vidyo room, you may not have time to find the info and having it already loaded in your phone can make a difference.  Your RelMan teammates might be able to beam you the contact info from their phones, or you can add them yourself like this:
* Vidyo; Warp Core 6509030800,92,5312#
Rooms to mark as favourites and contacts: Spadina (Toronto), Release Coordination (Virtual room, no physical location)
