Engagement/Developer Engagement/Event request workflow: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:32, 26 January 2015

Workflow overview

The Developer Events flow chart offers a visual overview of this workflow.

As a summary, anyone who would like Mozilla to participate in an event completes the Developer Events form. Bugzilla processes the answers and opens a request bug to summarize the request and a discussion bug for the Developer Events team to discuss the request privately. The team discusses the request and updates keywords and other bug metadata along the way. When a decision is reached, the team shares the decision in the request bug where the requester can see it.

More detail is provided in further sections.

Using this workflow

Keywords

Requests and discussions can be tagged with special keywords that indicate state. Requests and discussions are automatically organized based on their keywords (see Listings below) so it's important that keywords are manually updated when requests and discussions change.

In the example below, a request is tagged with the keyword event-request-under-review.

Available keywords

Requests

The following keywords can be used with event requests:

event-request-under-review: Meaning: The request is being reviewed
event-request-pending-fulfilment: Meaning: The request has been discussed and is nearly ready to be fulfilled
event-request-no-further-action: Meaning: The request requires no further action

Discussions

The following keywords can be used with event discussions:

event-discussion-needs-review: Meaning: The discussion hasn't started
event-discussion-pending-additional-information: Meaning: The discussion can't continue until more information is provided
event-discussion-needs-final-approval: Meaning: A decision has been reached. It needs final approval and has not been pre-approved.
event-discussion-pre-approved-needs-final-approval: Meaning: A decision has been reached. It has been pre-approved but needs final approval.
event-request-pending-fulfilment: Meaning: The event being discussed is nearly ready to be fulfilled
event-request-no-further-action: Meaning: No further discussion is needed

Using Listings

Listings are collections of requests and discussions that meet certain criteria. To browse Listings, follow the links in the Listings section.

Drilling down through Listings

When searching through requests and discussions, it can sometimes be helpful to start with a published Listing and then further narrow the criteria of that Listing. To do this, open a Listing and click Edit Search near the bottom of the page. Add additional criteria and click Search.

Making a request or discussion appear in a different Listing

If a request or discussion is appearing in the wrong Listing, open that specific request or discussion be sure that the Keyword is set correctly. Also ensure that the information in the Whiteboard is accurate. Make any changes that are needed and click Save Changes.

Listings

Listings are collections of requests and discussions that meet certain criteria.

Because requests and discussions are only visible to Mozilla staff, Listings will be empty unless you are logged into Bugzilla with a Mozilla email address. With a few exceptions, Listings do not include closed requests/discussions or requests/discussions filed before late January 2015.
