=== DXR ===
* Made the test runner [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Better_DXR_Testing not suck so much]. Ported tests to the new runner so we have lots of good examples and no bad ones. Deleted 10 files. Rewrote testing documentation. Folks are using it. We received a real nice patch afterward with 6 new tests, all decoupled from the rest of the suite. We have the beginnings of a patches-with-tests culture!
* Bugs
** Ignore non-directories when looking for plugins.
** Don't crash when doing negated phrase matching.
* Refactor search() controller to make it more comprehensible and ferret out bugs.
** Don't crash when limit and offset query string params aren't parseable ints.
** Don't crash when format=json and we're using the error.html template.
** Deal with negative limits and offsets. Hey, why not?
** Don't HTML-escape the query text manually anymore. Do urlencode it when using it in a URL.
* Got mozilla-central to build and spit out a DXR index locally.
* Got Schalk's Vagrant set up. That was harder than it should have been.
* Redesigned URLs for parity with MXR and future extensibility.
* Benchmarked Python vs. Apache for browser() at length. Wrote a blog article about it.
* Fixed an old XSS in prod. Really need to get a modern version pushed.
* Newsworthy merges
** Merged non-root-URL deployments of DXR fix.
** Merged Mook's patch to make it draw from Stackato-style process env vars. So now it works really nicely on Stackato.
** Merged fix for UnionFilter bugs (ORs being too liberal and source lines duplicating themselves).
** Reviewed and merged abbeyj's Query refactoring. Now profiling works properly under WSGI.
* Tried and failed to get LLVM 3.2 to build on RHEL 5.5. Ugh.
=== Community ===
* Gave [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWKEphKIG8U ES talk] at ConFoo and PyCon, API Poetry talk at ConFoo
* Named jcranmer, abbeyj, and mook as friends of the tree.
=== elasticsearch ===
* Led PyCon sprint: 78 commits!
** [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyelasticsearch/ 0.4 release]
** Python 3 support
** 6 new APIs, and improved many more
* Rescued django-haystack, which had broken.
* Figured out whether you should ever "store" fields in ES for Axel. (Nope)
=== Socorro ===
* Started reading up on how to troubleshoot Socorro.

Good things:
* attended PyCon and talked django-browserid and elasticutils with other folks -- there's interest in django-browserid especially after Dan's talk
* worked on elasticutils: robhudson landed a middleware, hanno fixed some testing issues, I fixed the ElasticSearchTestCase (though I think I'm going to change how that works), I fixed the django tasks code, I thought about extending the query API, ...
* worked on updating kitsune search to the latest elasticutils
* helped MDN get elasticsearch working
* finished up a bunch of last-minute fjord fixes for the production rollout for Input (tomorrow!)
Bad things:
* made many promises about working on jingo-minify, django-browserid, tower, django-tidings, and other things, but have yet to do the work
