Meeting Details

• 9:00 AM Mountain View Time (UTC -7)
• 650-903-0800 x92 Conf# 206 (US/INTL)
• irc.mozilla.org #l10n-drivers for back channel
• (notetaker: Axel)
• (attendees: Axel, sethb, stas, pascalc, gandalf)

Meeting Notes

• doc status: Not too bad on the one hand, but still a host of conflicting and obsolete docs. Need to get back to chop dead wood. And whatever smells funny might go away, too.
• l10n_site to have a bug component, in Websites as l10n.mozilla.org. Even though that url is currently taken by the community server.
• new locales and their web works waits mostly on 3.6.4 and the overhaul for lorentz. google snippets are a go, though.

Pike

• added ast, gd, ilo, mai to the build
  • naughty experience. bug 562026 makes the build infra outside sj not pick up the first push. Thus you first have to land all-locales, wait. Then push the first changesets, wait. Then push the last changeset, wait. If there's only a single changeset, you're out of luck. And then the nightlies are busted, bug 562042. They don't upload unless you have a previous nightly, hahaha. Ask buildduty to just upload random mars as a workaround.
  • You'll need a sheriff, too, or at least its password to create tinderbox pages, and switch on scraping on each build column as it comes around.
  • I wish this wouldn't just take a day.
• fixed dashboard infrastructure for weave-l10n. Waiting on bug weave-l10n to actually get content in en-US.
• struggled with makeinfo for the whitepaper. Multi-page output on mac is broken since 2007 at least, so need to migrate my work for this to the linux VM. Fixed by now, see [1].
• opened the l20n file format thread in [2] and blogged about it.
• kept chowse on the phone for 1:45 on all things l10n_site

Talking points: doc status? move l10n_site bugs out of Infrastructure?

Stas

• catching up on email after the vacation
• I'm in MV for this week's webdev's onsite
• gave a 1 hour talk to webdev about l10n (good practices + project management tips and observations) yesterday
