laura

• Shipped Socorro 1.7
• Investigated and resolved Firefox 3.6.4 apparent crash spike (this took most of the last two weeks)
  • Summary: git locks on config files are evil.
  • When collectors were set to throttle 100% of 3.6.4 crashes, config change only synced to 1/3. The other two throttled 3.6.4 at 15%.
  • When change finally reached other two (on next config change on 6/7), saw apparent spike.
  • Checked everything from code, infra, malware, sunspots...
• About to ship Socorro 1.7.1 (fix representation of hangs)
• Saw a bunch of HBase stability issues, mostly resolved.
• Submitted a breakout session to the Summit about the Socorro PRD
• PostCrash appears to be on for Q3
• Cartoon: Smurfs and the Magic Flute. I lined up for two hours to see it when I was five. If we broaden it to animation then Coraline.
