Additional meetings

This page shall help us to coordinate additional meetings at the Summit.

Maybe you'd like to meet with a group of people to sit down and discuss a topic, and none of the other talks seem to cover it?

Which meetings will happen? Who is interested? Where to go? When?

Engineering Meetings

IT, Labs/Services, Webdev collaboration

Projects move back and forth among these groups throughout a projects' lifecycle, but there can be lots of bumps along the way.

I'd like a meeting where people from these groups get together and we talk out ways to make everything move smoother. I guess the code phrase... to work together more like the web ;)

IT, RelEng: how to setup Build-VPN?

We need restricted access to RelEng production systems. First attempt at Build-VPN was uncleanly specified, and doesn't work well. Fixing this is a joint IT/RelEng goal for Q3.

Lets meet at whiteboard and brainstorm how to do this, before we start filing bugs and doing any work.

Proposed time and place:

• Suggestions? Put them in. First one with an opinion wins!

Want to come (add yourself):

RelEng Brownbag - and RelEng Roast

All you ever wanted to know about how the RelEng infrastructure works, and how you use it faster and more efficiently. Also, Q&A session to find suggestions for future improvements?

At the December2009 allhands, there were a couple of "RelEng Roast" sessions at Academy of Science and at 650castro which people found quite useful. If you have gripes, pet peeves of things to fix or a wishlist of things you'd like to see added, this is the place.

Proposed time and place:

Want to come (add yourself):

RelEng, QA, Dev: How to Deal with Intermittent Oranges?

Intermittent test failures (oranges) are still an issue, perhaps even more so now that we have brand-new 64-bit operating systems in play.

Are people happy with brasstacks (http://brasstacks.mozilla.com/topfails/)? It seems to do most of the things we need to track intermittent test failures over time, but how many people are looking at it? At the risk of overburdening TBPL, do we need to link this info into TBPL somehow?

On the RelEng side, we had/have the facility to re-run certain tests multiple times in a row, but we've had it disabled for a while since no one was looking at the results.

Proposed time and place:

Want to come (add yourself): Chris Cooper
