* Last week's B2G workweek was awesome. Literally. To make that happen, a bunch of invisible prep-work happened. | |||
** Nightly builds | |||
*** now generate device builds for: Arm (panda boards), Otoro, Unagi, Unagi-ENG, Inari, Hamachi, Leo | |||
*** for each of those devices, we generate "nightly" builds twice a day. Once for 8am PDT morning. Once for 8am Madrid CET morning. | |||
*** ... on each of mozilla-central, mozilla-b2g18, mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1 | |||
** Stood up an extra 250 slaves. More importantly, created 22 masters in AWS so we now have 70 masters and can quickly burst to create more slaves if needed. | |||
** Reimaged 80 in-house build & test machines to optimize for Firefox OS development based on recent usage trend. | |||
** Opened up an alternate to mozilla-inbound; birch allowed b2g-workweek developers a less crowded branch to land on. | |||
All those change made a big difference. Last week, 1490 checkins were landed, and all systems held above 90% for the week! | |||

** We keep the lights on. | |||
** We're like your landlord - when the roof blows off, the ceiling leaks or the outside needs repainting, we do it. But we have no control over the furniture. Sometimes we see tenants on their way in or out or we're called in when they're having a loud party but other than that, we stay out of your way. | |||
** In other words, "we make sure the house is in good shape but we can always give tips about the indoors." | |||
** If you want to have a loud party, let us know! We love parties! | |||
