Modules/Activities

Only module owners may edit this page.

They may:

• update any information about their module except the name of the owner
• add or remove sub-modules
• change the owner of a sub-module
• add emeritus owners or peers

Other changes, including changes of module owner or addition/removal of modules, must be agreed with the Module Ownership Module group, probably via a discussion in mozilla.governance.

Notes:	Area Expert Advisors: Katharina Borchert, Andrew Bridges, Hanno Kaiser, Andrew McLaughlin, Danny Weitzner, Gene Kimmelman, and Ronaldo Lemos

Area Expert Advisors are people with particular expertise who have agreed to assist Mozilla with their area-specific expertise. The Area Expert Advisors are different from peers. A peer is someone to whom the module owner has delegated some of her/his authority and a peer is expected to provide leadership for Mozilla within our specific context. Area Expert Advisors are advisors to Mozilla. They may become peers, but they need not.

(It's a new thing to have a group such as "MoCo Desktop IT services" as a "peer." We're trying this based on the idea that anyone in the Desktop IT group should be able to resolve problems and make fixes to the systems.)

Name:	Tree Sheriffs (#)
Description:	Tree Sheriffs aid developers to easily, quickly, and seamlessly land their code in the proper location(s) and ensure that code does not break our automated tests. In the service of this objective, the Sheriffs work closely with the larger engineering organization to create and enforce landing policies that increase productivity while maintaining an efficient and robust automated testing system. Beyond the policy role, they have also become shepherds of automation quality by monitoring intermittent failures, performing uplifts and merges, and identifying poorly performing automation machines.
