			It’s time for the weekly MinIT update where we tell you all the things IT is doing to empower Mozillians in their mission to keep the web a global public resource open and accessible to all.

			Just one quick update today. The topic is Slack. Look out for an email from Trust & Security landing in your inbox soon with questions on how you use slack’s history feature. Currently the retention time is 180 days. We’d like to explore reducing that to help better manage risk in Slack but we need your help. Take the survey today if you’re a slack user and help us understand how a shorter retention time might impact you.

			With that. That’s the MinIT. I’ll see you next week.

			It’s time for the weekly MinIT update where we tell you all the things IT is doing to empower Mozillians in their mission to keep the web a global public resource open and accessible to all.

			Four updates this week.

			First update from the Financial Strategy Team. The announcement has been sent that new budget tools and helping materials are available to folks in financial planner roles. Upcoming there will be a series of workshops where planning an analysis partners will be available to help out with specific budget scenarios. This means that we’re getting closer to one budget tool to use across the board and a unified planning cycle.

			Second from the data and analytics team. They’re using machine learning to partner mentors with learners using a new algorithm across Mozilla. It will take into account skills, timezone, and availability as a means of making recommendations. That platform will launch in Q1 2020.

			Next still from data and analytics. They are having technical presentations next week and training workshops on the new cloud data platform. If interested in attending please contact Sumit Das or check out the recorded content here: https://mzl.la/2QKUVOa

			Finally from AV Ops. In Zoom news the MTV office is officially free of the zoom lady and video. All 55 conference rooms are 100% zoom. In addition to saving the 1 minute to join a call the meeting experience for in-room and remote staff will benefit from an improved line of audio and video devices. A special thanks to WPR for their efforts around optimizing room furniture and helping us coordinate the donation to charity of more than 50 legacy AV devices totaling roughly 800lbs. Globally 5 offices and 162 out of 227 conference rooms are now fully operating under Zoom’s room software. Up next for 2019 the team will convert 5 rooms in Taipei and finalize the room design for the Berlin and London offices. - Slated for Q1 2020. More information on the Zoom transition is available here.

			That’s the MinIT. I’ll see you next week.

			It’s time for the weekly MinIT update where we tell you all the things IT is doing to empower mozillians in their mission to keep the web a global public resource open and accessible to all.

			Just two updates today from the AV team. First, the 2019 H2 AirMozilla Satisfaction survey closes at the end of the week. Take the 3 minute survey, today. Your valuable feedback directly contributes to the development of an improved AirMozilla experience for 2020.
			In Zoom news, Through week 1, 43% of the MTV rooms have been converted to Zoom!
			On the radar for week 2, a full upgrade to the MTV Atom training facility and converting the MTV Commons to Zoom.

			The MTV Commons conversion to Zoom is a huge milestone as it introduces a reliable wireless content sharing solution with audio via desktop and mobile devices; making it easy for our staff to provide live demo’s. In addition, being 100% Zoom means higher quality content coming at you from HQ with no delays. For more on the MTV upgrade, check out the Mana.

			That’s the MinIT. I’ll see you next week.

			It’s time for the weekly minute update where we tell you all the things IT is doing to empower Mozillians in their mission to keep the web a global resource open and accessible to all.

			Our first update today comes from Core Systems. Do you have slow C/Rust builds that make your life sad? Want to help your fellow devs go faster? Maybe you remember when we had icecc in the offices also referred to as Ice cream. Well the engineering workflow team and IT have worked to provide an SCCache distributed setup in every office. All we need is volunteers to let us use their CPUs to create distributed builds. The intent is to replace the user supported ice with the IT supported SCCache setup. Unlike ice we have SCCache schedulers in every office.

			If you’re interested in helping checkout login.mozilla.org - the SCCache subsection has links on setting up the builder and getting registrant information. If you’d like to use sccache for your builds take a look at the link here. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/build/buildsystem/sccache-dist.html Questions go to #sccache on slack.

			Next from the IT data and analytics team. Many mozillians will be happy to know that our team continues to build an API integration platform allowing you to focus on the data you care about. We’ve completed the integration for Skyline which gives a comprehensive view of Google Cloud, SalesForce, and Lifecycle marketing.

			Finally for Audio Video collaborations the team is gaining some insight into our web streaming platform “AirMozilla”. Here are is some information on usage for 2019.

			Through the month of September the team has supported 429 global airmozilla events that have been view 27,000 times and totaled 827,000 minutes of streaming video.

			That’s an average of 40 events, 3,000 vies and 91,000 minutes per month though 2019. The team has implemented a few solutions along the way to improve the experience such as upgrading hardware and software globally to stabilize the steam along with provide recommendations on browser configuration best practices. The addition of Zoom and multiple platform releases have lead to the steady decline of user reported issues and overall improved experience.

			Next week a short survey will go out to the company to help us reevaluate AirMozilla for 2019. More exciting news over the next few weeks on upcoming improvements.

			And it’s still me. Now making an announcement on behalf of IT and Open Innovation. You may be aware that over the last few years the Identity and Access Management team worked to launch a people directory for contributors and staff that really reflects our unique Mozilla Culture.

			That directory became generally available this year. As a result all Staff Mozillians gave us great feedback on what we could be doing better. Today we’re proud to release a brand new version of DinoPark.

			So what’s new?

			First! Let’s talk about profile pictures. I know I like to maintain a consistent avatar across Mozilla web properties. We’ve launched a new picture API, generally available today so all Mozilla web properties can safely pull in staff and community photos.

			Next is LDAP and Mozillians access groups. If you ever asked yourself the question, “Am I in that group?” Now you can answer it by just looking at your own people.mozilla.org profiles. For now access groups here are read only but joining and leaving groups is a milestone still coming soon to a directory near you.

			In other news Timezone has now been updated based on profile location time with auto-calculated time zone difference. This should help you in scheduling all those global meetings with colleagues.

			You also asked that we reflect our strong ties to Bugzilla and Github by making handles available and searchable in the platform. Now mozillians can link verified identities for both platforms and elect to make their handles searchable making it far easier to find all the versions of contributors and colleagues across these properties.

			Speaking of colleagues the profile now shows a complete peers section not just your reporting structure because there’s more than managers in a team.

			Finally Zoom links that allow you to join a colleagues personal meeting room are now available as well which should save you a lot of time moving between the directory and meetings.

			Don’t worry we’ve maintained the same security and privacy tenants that launched in the very first version of people.mozilla.org. All data visibility is staff configurable and we’ve also launched a feature that allows you to view your profile as other users to see what their experience is like.

			With that you may be wondering what’s next. The big announcement is that NDA contributors are coming to the directory soon which is a major milestone in unifying our staff and contributor experience. We’ll open it up first to best-testing toward the end of October onboarding 20 trusted contributors. Provided that goes well an additional 400 NDA volunteers will join by the end of November.

			Now the important part. Every profile owner has complete control of their profile. Now is a great time to check those profile visibility defaults and ensure that you aren’t sharing anything with NDA contributors you wouldn’t want to.

			A complete FAQ is available at the link below.

			If you have any questions at all about the launch please reach out in #iam on Slack or leave us a comment here on discourse.

			It’s time for the weekly MinIT update where we tell you all the things IT is doing to empower Mozillians in their mission to keep the web a global public resource open and accessible to all.

			Let’s start off with some news from the ServiceDesk. macOS Catalina was released last Monday and the ServiceDesk team is working hard to complete compatibility testing. In the interim if you are considering updating to Catalina please visit the landing page here: https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/x/8QqOBg to better understand some of the new features. If you want to get updates on what’s going on with Catalina testing that information is available in the following ServiceNow ticket. https://jira.mozilla.com/browse/SER-455

			Our next update comes from the IT Financial strategy team. The financial strategy team works with budget planners in IT and across the organization to improve budgeting tools for 2020 planning. Some of these tools will be new to everyone and some of of the old tools will look a bit different. To help folks onboard more effectively there will be two training sessions scheduled in the next two weeks. For more information on that effort please reach out to Sophia M.

			Finally in Zoom Transition news. 12 more rooms to go for the San Francisco office. Through three weeks 36 out of 40 rooms have been converted to Zoom Rooms. Week 4 will target the conversion of the commons space, 2 phone only room, and the facilities prep work will be done to complete the remaining 9 rooms. Next week the team jumps over to the pocket office to upgrade their 7 rooms. For more information follow the global zoom transition here. https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/AVSE/Zoom+Transition

			That’s the MinIT. I’ll see you next week.

			It’s time for the weekly MinIT update where we tell you all the things IT is doing to empower Mozillians in their mission to keep the web a global public resource open and accessible to all.

			Our first update today comes from the IT data and analytics team. They’ve completed their first milestone for revenue data integration. This makes it possible for Business Development to report on Bing Data. A demo will be shown to users on October 8, 2019.

			Also on the data front the team has also made a lot of progress using the Mozilla IAM person-api as the source of truth for user access for the new data platform. The results of that development effort will be used to drive data governance and standardize the process for access management going forward.

			Next up the Global Zoom conversion update. Through 2 weeks, 33 of 40 existing conference rooms have been converted to Zoom rooms at the Mozilla San Francisco location. That means that 82% of zoom rooms now give you about 45 seconds back per meeting.

			On average it now takes 10 second to join a zoom call from the moment you walk into the room.

			What’s left for the SFO office? 10 existing rooms and a conversion of 8 previously phone only rooms will move to zoom over the next three weeks.

			This weeks zoom tip of the week: In order to access all zoom features on your desktop client please ensure you’ve signed in via single sign on.

			With that…

			That’s the MinIT. I’ll see you next week.
