= Using Bugzilla =
Every code change starts out as a bug in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla] where the general approach can be discussed. The bug should eventually be assigned to somebody who will upload one or more patches for review. Code can only be reviewed by module owners and their peers, ; see [[Services/Code_Review|code review policy]] for more information. If the review has been granted and all review comments have been addressed, the patches may be checked into [https://hg.mozilla.org/services/services-central services-central], which is the Mercurial repository used for Services client work.
On rare occasions it will make more sense to land work on [http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central mozilla-central] instead — for example, if a change needs to propagate upstream before the regular [[Services/Process/MergingBetweenBranches|merge from services-central to mozilla-central]]. This might involve additional procedures (e.g., you need to request approval in addition to review.)
For server code written in Python, Tarek has provided a useful tool called [https://bitbucket.org/tarek/flake8 flake8] which does Python style checks against your code.
You probably also want to get up to speed on [http://bugzilla.mozilla.org Bugzilla] if you're not already.
* Services Weekly Status: Every Tuesday at 9:15 PT in North Bridge (4th floor), [https://intranet.mozilla.org/Teleconferencing conference dial] in number is #8616. Meeting notes live under [[Services/Meetings/]].
* [[WeeklyUpdates|Mozilla Weekly Updates]]: Every Monday at 11:00 PT in 10-Forward (you'll need to attend the first one in person since we want to show you off.)

* You also want to grab a [http://nightly.mozilla.org/ Nightly] build of Firefox. Everybody in the company should be running a nightly build: it's a great way to find bugs before the code goes out to the general public. If you want to run against different profiles (which is useful for development), you will be interested in [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Command_Line_Options two extra command flags]: "-P and --no-remote"
** -P forces the Profile Picker (You probably want to have more than one.)
** --no-remote allows multiple versions to run on one machine at the same time.
