Discussion

• User Profiles in progress, https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/UserProfiles
  • use the same list of products from enter_bug (core, firefox, firefox os, firefox for android, firefox for metro, toolkit, marketplace, thunderbird, seamonkey, localizations, services, other) (sorted alphabetically)
  • Get a security review for the profile, look at the project kickoff form for instructions
    • probably don't want to show number of security bugs (exclude non public data), however this will limit the value of stats for users who work mainly on non-public bugs (IT, legal, marketing, etc).

• BMO developer box https://wiki.mozilla.org/BMO/DeveloperBox

• triaging through mentored bugs
  • https://etherpad.mozilla.org/ateam-mentored-bugs

• BMO fixes: http://globau.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/happy-bmo-push-day-41/
  • ignore - no mail from a particular bug
  • mozilla/sandstone theme visited links are a different color now (a rare bugzilla patch from someone outside the bugzilla team! yay wes!)

• going through every product and component to link documentation or a team page.

• Cleaning up various wiki pages as a result/byproduct.
  • But it is also endless and all the triaging docs are just proliferating, not merging or synthesizing.

• What is a minimum viable contributor?
  • "this is a path, even if it isn't a destination"
  • "What did THAT mean?"

• • For a bug day in May, which area, product or component would you suggest we pick?

ask an engineering manager what their quarterly goals are, for the organization? Is there a way to lighten the load on engineering by doing some triaging?

• • b2g and webdev on github? webmaker/foundation?

• Bugzilla tips videos (discussed last week)
  • gerv mentioned that he was working on a longer video, however i got the impression that his was more of an "introduction to bugzilla" type deal, rather than the short focused "more advanced" tips we were talking about
  • BMO vs. Bugzilla. explain! screencast.
  • talk w richard about hosting (airmozilla)

• talks at Open Source Bridge - discussion between Liz and Andre, bug triage workshop
  • Firefox Bug Rodeo http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/1053
  • Bugs, Bugs, Bugs (Bugmaster Smackdown) http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/1052

• Bugmaster Q2 goals, fyi... https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Bugmaster_2013Q2

• add stuff to footer/main page etc.
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/createaccount.cgi stick bugs ahoy link here?
  • and maybe also on main page?

• can we unshare some really old shared saved searches?
  • YES
