Open Items/Meeting notes
- Note-taker: Rik
- Apps Blog posts (moar blogs!)
- Kumar to write a summary this week
- Anyone else?
- Pre-screening coding for job candidates (Laura)
- Some candidates don't know how to code, is there any way to filter them out before the first phonescreen?
- Checking Github or other public repositories.
- A busy Github profile does not mean the interviewee has actually done stuff, check actual commits
- Some people don't have code that they can share (because of employer policies)
- Should we be ok to finish first screen interview quicker if we discover someone can't code?
- Coding experiences over 45min (skyrock, rik) or a weekend (sourceforge, groovecoder). Maybe we can try that. Should not discriminate people that have other things to do on weekends (family, friends, etc)
- No decision, just a reflexion
- Notable status updates (Fred, Laura, James, Wil, anyone)
- Dev ecosystem: Take a look at x-tag demo http://csuwldcat.github.com/x-tag/demo.html#menu
- Almost everyone on Webprod is at the Engagement offsite this week.
- If you want to flash a phone to B2G, jlongster has some builds to help you out.
- Marketplace: We have a marketplace, please test, file bugs. It's open to registered Mozillians (on mozillians.org) https://marketplace.mozilla.org/.

- Worked in Paris last week. I have some blog ideas for remote work/travel/community/etc. Yay!
- Paris people were nice. Merci!
- Back in Barcelona for a bit. Gonna start at a coworking place fulltime tomorrow.
- Working on newnewtab. Staging stuff for Todd to see tomorrow. Yay!
Favourite algorithm? Quicksort; it is the appropriate reply to all computer science related threads on Slashdot.
wenzel
- Lots of recruiting work
- newnewtab project planning
- Marketplace submission API planning
Favorite algorithm is the efficient solution to the Traveling Salesman Problem that I am surely going to come up with any day now. Oh, *existing* algorithms. I like Minimum Spanning Tree for its simplicity.
wil
willkg
- set up an #elasticutils irc channel
- submitted pull requests for input and mozillians to fix elasticutils usage
- talked with Rob about elasticutils future--Rob is going to work on new features while Will works on merging features in various branches into master; elasticutils will ROCK.
- launched my first app with Petri as an experiment to see how it all works: https://isitmfict.vcap.mozillalabs.com/ (based on http://isitmfbt.com/)
- worked on elasticsearch code in SUMO--we're almost at the point where we're showing unified search results
- got my business cards!
I like map coloring. You can use it for register allocation, coloring maps, and I sketched out how to use it for seating plans for wedding receptions. It's pretty cool.
