Overview

We believe that building out tools and processes for shipping Go Faster add-ons will enable Mozilla's engineers to get features and fixes to a larger audience sooner. We will know this is true when we see widespread adoption of system add-ons as a mechanism for moving faster and updating faster than the standard trains.

Team

Name Role

KPI's

  • Number of projects using the tools.
  • All new features or improvements to existing features validated by go faster by the end 2016.

Meetings

Communications

  • Mailing List (open to all, primarily used for sharing status)
  • IRC: #gofaster

Current Status
