Ops
Remember, we are on "lock-down" until after the all-hands. Upcoming tasks:
- MySQL upgrade (this has waited too long, and now we're suffering in scl2 as we butt up against various performance limits there)
- Membase stuff
New Hire
Chris Kolosiwsky (ko-lo-SOO-skee) is our new Systems Administrator. Less interfacing with eng than atoll/petef/jlaz -- more back-end stuff. He starts Thursday.

Sync
Client (philikon/rnewman)
- Philipp rolling up train; delay due to Labor Day plus waiting for two bugs to land, and only one change waiting to merge. I'm guessing there'll be no train next week due to All-Hands.
- Minor orange from errorhandler test (Bug 684783). Fixxored?
- Marina's last week. Intern presentation on Wednesday. Farewell on Friday. *sniff*
- rnewman in MV Friday afternoon for All-Hands.
- philikon offsite at MozPUW booked. Async, here we come! That'll be early October, then rnewman will be back in the Bay Area. Again.
- Setup improvements: working out Key Exchange v3 spec (bug 684074), proof of concept for window-modal wizard (bug 683000)
- Favicons: waiting for feedback on Places changes. Otherwise, grinding along.

QA
Testing and Sign-offs (tracy)
- If a client train is formed, we'll target sign-off for Wednesday.
- I am behind on test suite cleanup. No train this week and next will be a blessing.
- Making break through in Mozmill automation of Sync account setup. But hitting plenty of speed bumps; currently stuck at clicking the Continue button once all account information has been entered.
- Sync QA tips and tricks video targeted for rough cut completion by end of QA work week 9/21. Then hand over to Rainer for final cut polish work.
- Bi-monthly triage sessions have been productive. The UNCONFIRMED client bug list has been reduced to ~50 bugs. 90% of those remaining have a creation date older than 7 months.
FunkLoad for SyncStorage API Automation (jbonacci)
- QA is ordering a new Linux desktop to install and configure FunkLoad for Sync Server automation.
Sync Server (jbonacci)
- Trains of trains: deployment 4 for node allocation finally went out last week
- Train of trains "post mortem" took place last week. QA summary went out to OPs.
- QA continuing work on Sync6 vm for nightly server builds, access to AP in Dev environment, web server setup, etc.
- QA continuing to work with OPs on various projects (time permitting due to OPs "lock-down"):
- Monitoring of load tests in Stage environment
- Getting Captcha/AP working in Stage or connected to Dev AP
- Getting some help configuring Sync6
TPS (jgriffin/jbonacci)
- QA will continue working with jgriffin on the client-side automation of Sync using TPS
- Need a meeting with various involved parties to discuss progress, goals, etc.
