Welcome to Work Week Central for the July 2014 work week.

  • When: July 28 - July 31
  • Where: Mountain View headquarters; 331 E Evelyn St. Mountain View CA

Goal

The goal of this work week is to break down old, outmoded models of Quality engineering. And build ourselves a vision and a strategy to achieve our overall QA goal of becoming more relevant and impactful. We will do this by:

  • Becoming more technical to engage with the web platform and our products on a deeper level
  • Making decisions based on data and metrics and publishing those metrics for larger use
  • Weaving community throughout everything we do

Expect to leave this work week with a set of tailored actions you will do differently to help us meet these goals.

Travel and Lodging Details

This is an invite only event. As much as we would have liked to invite everyone, it was sadly not possible. If you've received an email invitation, use the link to register.

You can book your own flights via Egencia up to June 26. Or, you can allow our travel agent to book them for you. After June 26, the travel agent will book your flights. Hotel will be booked for you, and we will be using the Hotel Strata in Mountain View for this.

Schedule and Process

We will be offline the first two and a half days of the event (Mon, Tues, Wed until noon). We will make exceptions for emergencies, but you have a month. Do everything you can to plan to be offline if at all possible. This kind of a work week will not succeed if you're glued to your laptop instead of participating.

Mozilla Events

  • There will be a Community meetup during the work week - more details to come
  • On Wednesday July 30, we will go have some fun at Campo di Bocce in Los Gatos. We'll play Bocce and eat some great food, and have a good time.
  • On nights when there is nothing planned, we'll make reservations for small groups (around 10-ish) of us to go dine somewhere in downtown mountain view. It will be a good way to connect with people in a smaller setting.

Other Suggested Events

There were so many great suggestions for events that I've included them here. If you want to round up a slew of colleagues to go to do some of these in your evenings (or perhaps on the weekend before if you arrive early) please do so!
