Shipping Celebration

What did we ship this month? Alternatively, what didn't we ship to spare the world the horror?

• (erikrose) peep 2.2 brings a download progress bar.
• (erikrose) Our own Osmose added a Help menu to DXR to spur contribution.
• (erikrose) Release pyelasticsearch 1.0. Pulling 5000 downloads a day.
  • Support modern versions of ES.
  • Fix broken Python 3.x support.
  • Go 15x faster (pushed up all the optimizations I did for DXR).
  • Lots more
• (Osmose) Snippets is no longer dumb! https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1091939
• (erikrose) Sugardough now uses peep (2.1) by default. Air Mozilla now uses peep. This removes a vendor lib with 1200 files.
• (lorchard) badges.mozilla.org is slowly waking from a long slumber
  • I made a milestone for myself and closed it only a day late!
  • To modernize the project I did a bunch of things
    • Switch from vendor submodules to peep + virtualenv
    • Wean away from playdoh + funfactory by deleting things and copypasta'ing code (for now)
    • Switch from Vagrant + Puppet to Docker + Fig
    • Upgrade all the dependencies (except Django)
    • Get travis-ci tests working!
    • Absorb django-badger directly into the project
  • Oh and I "shipped" the changes to staging & prod, and barely anything apparently changed. Success!
• (peterbe) Welcome to the world https://mozillians.org/contribute.json and https://marketplace.firefox.com/contribute.json
  • but still work to do https://gist.github.com/peterbe/82bece77e4b26c1ecfc5
• (hoosteeno) Web developer services survey results
  • ~1400 responses (i.e. this is a great way to learn stuff from devs)
  • Follow up possibilities...

Scuttling Celebration

• (pmac) Scrumbu.gs is going away at the end of Q1. Having done it's job, it's going to the big bit-bucket in the sky.

  • it's a sugardough equivalent for all client-side based on React and prefers Gulp
