  1. you are a module owner who is:
    • altering the list of peers in your module
    • adding or removing a sub-module
    • changing the owner of one of your sub-modules; or
  2. you have agreed a change of owner or module addition/deletion with the Module Ownership Module group, probably via mozilla.governance.

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.


Name: Weekly Project All Hands Meeting (#)
Description: Responsibility for the weekly meetings, including:
  • determining and implementing the best organization and structure for the meeting
  • Determining and implementing the most useful content

Owner: Matt Claypotch
Peer(s): Asa Dotzler, MoCo Desktop IT services
URL(s): https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates
Discussion Group: mozilla.governance

(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: Popcorn Events (#)
Description: Events to support and grow the popcorn project. These include hack days pairing web developers and media creators, as well as Learning Labs to teach popcorn.js and Popcorn Maker.

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.
