** Tuesday, October 20 - noon PT / 3pm ET / 7pm UTC | |||
** Mozilla Mountain View + [https://air.mozilla.org/release-engineering-at-facebook/] | |||
** '''Blurb:''' Facebook has over 1 billion monthly active web users and pushes new versions of its website twice a day. At the same time, Facebook also has over 1 billion monthly mobile users and pushes new versions of its 6+ mobile apps every 1-2 weeks. Shipping at this speed and scale is driven by a very small Release Engineering team with a large supporting cast. Learn about the cutting-edge tools, distributed systems, processes, and culture Facebook relies on to ship effectively. | |||
** '''Speaker:''' Former Firefox Release Manager Christian Legnitto, who has spent the last four years shipping software at Facebook. | |||
** '''Questions:''' #airmozilla on IRC | |||
* '''Mozilla Github security changes for third-party application access''' | |||
** '''tl;dr''': 3rd-party applications will lose access to the Mozilla organization in GitHub at '''1700 UTC / 1000 PDT''' unless they are pre-approved. Very old SSH keys may also lose access if they are not verified at https://github.com/settings/ssh . | |||
** Traditionally 3rd party applications have had full access to all repositories (public and private) for an organization when any member enables them. When combined with aggressive 3rd party applications many of our repositories are divulging information unintentionally. Github recently changed the way they do application permissions and we're enabling their new system. | |||
''' | ** '''Questions:''' If you run into any problems with Github, please join us in #github or email github-owners@m.o and we'll get you fixed up. Thanks! | ||
