Friends of the Tree 
Please send FotT nominations to asa@mozilla.org. This is a great opportunity for the community to recognize those who go above and beyond, so please tell me when you see that happening. Thanks.
MrZ writes in nominating Jeremy Orem and Stephen Donner. Jeremy for quick ramp up in learning new Zeus load balancer, he was able to move two production sites over before mid-week. And Stephend for QA testing support for websites behind Zeus, most notably AMO.
Ted wrote in to nominate Arpad Borsos and Phil Ringnalda as friends of the tree. They have both filed and fixed a number of bugs for cleaning up old and unused parts of the build system. This kind of code janitor work may be a thankless task, but it helps keep our codebase from accumulating extra junk and makes it more accessible to everyone who has to work on it.
