Welcome, Tony Appleton
Tony joins Mozilla on Monday, July 22nd, 2013 as Program Manager for the FxOS Program Office. In the immediate he'll be jumping in as direct interface for one of our new carrier accounts. Please help him come up to speed quickly by providing him any info you think is critical to his ramp-up. For example, a summary of your role, sources of info he may find particularly useful (IRC channels, mailing lists, wiki pages etc), tips n tricks for starting up, meetings he shouldn't miss... any shortcuts to the firehose that is mozInfo.
Tasks
- check out the Sponsors Rollup Mana reflecting status of current FxOS Market Launches and sub-page statuses

Hey there Tony - I'm a program manager for Marketplace / Apps - we met. You'll encounter me at the Weekly Sponsors Rollup for the FxOS Launches, or as a program manager on Marketplace and Payments. I'm located in PDX with trips down to SF and Mountain View every 5 weeks or so. You'll likely see me in London 3ce / year.
- Communications: Skype and IRC are ways of life here. You can drop into many topical channels to ask questions at any time. I can be found lurking in #openwebapps, #b2gpay, #marketplace
- Tips I've found useful for Mozilla survival:
- HelpDesk and Desktop Support : go into #servicedesk and type ' helpdesk '.. someone on the desktop team will get right back to you
- email filters are a survival method here; use liberally
- leverage all the e-communication: Skype, IRC, Vidyo
- don't be afraid of bugzilla :-)
- project scope in progress for Marketplace Apps On Android
- example of QA triage list for payments
- Tools I love for program management and organization:
- Omniplan
- MindNode Pro
- Smartsheet, such as the Playbooks for New FxOS Launches
- Googledocs for weekly status reports or for Product Delivery Tracking
- Wiki Pages I live by
