==== Background ==== | |||
Mozilla is a company that is strongly committed to inclusion and diversity. | |||
The Taskcluster team at Mozilla builds an automation platform, similar in scope | |||
to Buildbot and Jenkins. The project is built to support the continuous | |||
integration testing of Mozilla projects like Firefox and Rust as well as | |||
projects that Mozilla participates in, like NSS. Taskcluster is built | |||
using distributed 'cloud' computing services where possible. Taskcluster | |||
developers and users often need to do some tasks manually, like craft, inspect | |||
and kill tasks; roles and users management; download artifacts, etc. | |||
taskcluster-cli is a generic command line tool to interact with Taskcluster, | |||
built by and for shell command lovers. We have a long live | |||
[https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster-cli Javascript implementation], | |||
and are starting a | |||
[https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster-cli/tree/go-tc-cli new version] completely | |||
rewritten in [https://golang.org/ Golang]. | |||
==== Project ==== | |||
The goal of this project is to implement the main features to the new | |||
Golang based taskcluster-cli, including task creation, task groups scheduling, | |||
users management, and so on. We want someone that is keen to learn and | |||
engaged on making taskcluster-cli a great tool. You should know basics of | |||
Go (Go is a simple language and the basics can be learned during application | |||
process). The advanced skills on the language can be acquired during internship | |||
with help from project mentors. Some knowledge of Javascript (ES6 is a plus) is | |||
desired but not required (although you may expect reading some modern Javascript | |||
code from time to time), as well as some general concepts of Web APIs. | |||
Required skills: | |||
* Go programming language (you can learn during application process) | |||
* Desire to learn | |||
* Engagement | |||
Desired skills: | |||
* Javascript | |||
* ES6 | |||
* Web APIs | |||
