'''MySQL Operations Changes'''
We are currently handing off MySQL operations except for Bugzilla and Reviewboard to a 3rd party contractor to free up the Data Team for bigger projects. If you have access to MySQL, that will not change. However, the people who debug problems will change. If you have any concerns or questions, please e-mail data@mozilla.com or contact the data team manager, Sheeri Cabral.
'''A/V Room Refresh'''
As part of our overall 2015 A/V Refresh Initiative, AVOps is updating our video conference room systems in SFO & PDX to meet our current standards for improved reliability, overall user experience and perform a technology refresh with equipment that is past its useful life. Check the wiki for a full list of rooms that will get new digs!
> ''SFO rooms to be updated:'' Java, Latte, Carol Channing, The Warfield, Noise Pop, Bay Bridge, Golden Gate, Macchiato, Espresso, Americano, Cappuccino, Ansel Adams, The Board Room, Justice League, Independent.
> ''PDX rooms to be updated:'' Hair of the Dog, Widmer, Blitz-Weinhard, Deschutes, Terminal, Hub
'''IT Vending Machine Update'''
The Mozilla IT peripheral vending machine has arrived in the MTV office.  If you work in MTV ( or just visiting) and need a power cord, mouse, headset, etc. you can find the vending machine by the Service Desk.  The machine is integrated with our badging system so all you have to do is swipe your badge and choose your item.
If you only need an item a short time please return it to the Service Desk so we can redeploy.  Also, if you don't find what you need in the vending machine please ask on of our Service Desk team.
IT Peripheral Vending machines are coming to the SF and Toronto offices in Q2.
