    • API should be ready for FlightDeck
  • Firefox Input
    • pushed 1.8
    • fixed our hudson

erik

  • SUMO's DB access is now in one transaction per request (on trunk). Yay, atomic writes.
  • Learned MySQL doesn't even try to replicate LIMITed write queries correctly, so don't try.
  • Lots of fleshing out of requirements: wiki polls, localization dashboard
  • Baby's first contribution to the HTML 5 spec: hidden form inputs are now un<label>able.
  • Coding: wiki redirect UI; document metadata editing, renaming, & slug-changing. Made {for} parser handle implicitly self-closing tags.
  • Filed an html5lib bug about the lxml-based parseFragment not operating to spec.
  • Documented the heck out of the new {for} wiki tag
  • Reviewed email notiications, video tags
  • Started using <detail> and <summary> tags on SUMO. There's a nice jQuery fallback, since no browser on earth supports them yet.
  • Improved bleach.linkify() so it doesn't pull invalid-in-URLs chars into URLs: makes scanning things like {hey}www.zombo.com/things{hey} work.
  • Ummm...dogburger?

gkoberger

  • I finally (almost) finished the edit page, and committed it to jbalogh
  • It broke Hudson horribly
  • I spent the rest of the time fixing it
  • Not sure about favorite costume

jbalogh

  • devhub
  • Ninja Turtle costumes had sweet weapons, particularly Michelangelo's nunchucks

jgrlicky

  • Started doing research on mobile web design - started adding best practices to the wiki page https://intranet.mozilla.org/Going_Mobile <- please add any you might know about!
  • Began creating wireframe mockups of the mobile AMO - landing page and details page have first drafts.
  • Brainstormed / reviewed proposals for the Fx4 Demo site
  • Luigi

jsocol

  • Still in the middle of the SUMO 2.3 Knowledge Base.
    • Really looking forward to the post-rewrite world of smaller milestones.
  • Looks like I'll be giving a talk on Django/Celery next month at Django-NYC. Might ask the AMO folks some questions.
  • Favorite Halloween costume (of mine?): to do House one year I carried a cane and behaved otherwise normally.
  • BONUS ANSWER

kumar

  • monkeying together my new machine to get a zamboni dev setup
  • punishing my local mysql daemon with a 2G database dump
  • starting on some simple bugs in AMO (css changes, layout changes, etc)
  • once when I was younger my Dad was a wall for Halloween. It works best if you use your imagination but I'll just say that he was an elaborately painted and constructed brick wall.
  • I'll pick up some more bugs once I get some of these finished.

ianbicking

  • I've been out due to a death in the family
  • I made myself a duct tape suit when I was a kid, before duct tape became so hip. I thought it was pretty cool, even if it smelled a lot. But modern duct tape clothing craftsmanship has reached levels I could not have imagined then, which takes away some of the sense of pride.

lars

  • quietly backporting 1.8 features to 1.7.x
  • hbase stability issues are depressing
  • 1981 - digital death hooded cloak

  • At Hadoop World today, won't call in because I will be in a talk about how Facebook uses Hadoop in prod
  • More firefighting:
    • Some details in our Downtime Postmortem
    • Problems running compaction (an HBase maintenance task) means we can't run it right now. Solution on the way (I hope) - meeting with Cloudera today
    • pgexperts are back on board, reviewing our postgres setup after some locking issues
  • We now have access to staging (not webapp yet) (see [1])
  • Going to do an architectural review to see how we can bolster HBase's availability with other tools
  • We did ship 1.7.4, successfully
  • Working on 1.7.5, freeze today-ish, release next week-ish.
  • Drafted some release guidelines for Socorro that may be useful to other webdev projects
  • Estimated fallback storage requirements
  • Hiring: if you know any Hadoop Ops people, let recruiting know.
  • Bouquets to rhelmer for getting Socorro on Hudson
  • I've never worn a Halloween costume; not really big in Australia. Open to suggestions for the baby this year though :)
