Webdev Extravaganzas are open to the public and serve as a gathering point for anyone in the Mozilla community who is interested in web development and what Mozilla has been doing in it.

The meeting will be streamed and recorded on Air Mozilla: https://air.mozilla.org/webdev-extravaganza-may-2017/

Shipping Celebration

What did we ship this month? Alternatively, what didn't we ship to spare the world the horror?

• (shobson) MDN's CSS code style guide is now documented in a .stylelintrc file, the Stylelint.io format. So it can be enforced on Pull Requests and supporting text editors can pop up friendly little error messages and warnings.
• (pmac) New library! django-redirect-urls was extracted from Bedrock. It was created to ease the task of replicating a lot of Apache URL rewriting rules in our code. It is now its own library so that other projects (most notably MDN) can potentially use it. Most other Django redirect helpers store redirects in the database.
• (garbas) Moved https://mozilla-releng.net from Elm 0.17 to 0.18
• (willkg) New crash collector! Antenna is collecting all crashes for Mozilla products as of April 13th.
• (ErikRose) Fathom 2.1. In-ruleset clustering. Automatic coefficient tuning. Lovely docs. Readability example. Hacks article. InfoWorld article. Mailing list.
• (Osmose) Normandy is currently shipping our system add-on to 50% of Firefox users, and will hit 100% today! We also are about to land support for preference experiments on mozilla-central.
• (jgmize) snippets-service running in Kubernetes in production

Open-Source Citizenship

Any updates with our libraries or with libraries we use? Anyone looking for help with a library they maintain?

• (garbas) connexion, Swagger/OpenAPI First framework for Python on top of Flask with automatic endpoint validation & OAuth2 support. Since few weeks, not only Flask is supported (Pyramid/Falcon) and it is possible to plugin you custom framework too.

New Hires / Interns / Volunteers / Contributors

Anyone new that we want to induct into the secret order? Paid, unpaid, contract, doesn't matter!
