Action Items / Takeaways from Last Week

• Takeaways
• Action Items:
  • [CARRY OVER] [davehunt] Selenium 2.45.0 is out. Let’s upgrade.
  • [CARRY OVER] [krupa] Look into add-ons API test URL and why it isn't using command-line argument
  • [CARRY OVER] [stephend] Speak to Craig Cook about why are our blog posts not being syndicated
    • It's bug 1109377 - I've need-info'd? :yvan
  • [DONE] [mbrandt] Reach out to Tony Chung, All Billings, and Marcia Knous chung about the old Vimeo QA account. Do they know what the account credentials are?
  • [DONE] [davehunt] Look into procedure for getting VM disc images
    • I just filed a Service Now request for the Operating System (Windows 8.1) and got a box.com link to a disc image and a license key. I then used the disc image to create a new VM in VMWare Fusion. I got VMWare Fusion also via a Service Now request. I think this is much easier than maintaining VM images ourselves.
