   Sync Client (Tracy) 

    Server side issue is causing Sync failures.  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=836262 

   The issue is not affecting every user. And it appears to be random for those that do get affected. That is, the failure will last for a while, then clear itself up. Zues, the server load balancer, is likely the cause for this randomness. OP's are on it like white on rice.

   B2G (Geo/jhammink) 

   Stability (nhirata)

   https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2013-01-29#B2G

   DogFood Channel (courtesy of Aki):

   The sources.xml is available next to the update:     http://update.boot2gecko.org/beta/b2g_beta_update_20130128070201.xml     .

   Releng generated the RIL repack, but it's not clear how to get it to QA without bug 834424.

   Kernel  : 

   Be sure you are on the latest kernel!

   Kernel dates are still the same between otoro kernel 11 and 12 and unagi 4 and 5... they should say Dec 5.

   (courtesy of mwu) : The only change is one kernel command line parameter in this update. pmem_adsp has been changed to 13631488, so you should see pmem_adsp=13631488 after running "adb shell cat /proc/cmdline". If the number is lower, you have an older kernel.  This applies to both kernels.

   UX Branch : not used now, status unsure if we will reopen or need to based on new branching.  TBD

   SUMO Feedback : closed for now; cancelled further meetings, since Test drivers is done for now

   Testrun 3 (mbrandt) :

   Full Stop (today) on testing Build ID: 2013-01-25-07

   RIL : AU 184 with d72fcfb5ebcd1a51ba4e318517244bdb34ddbfa5. 

   "gecko" revision="d72fcfb5ebcd1a51ba4e318517244bdb34ddbfa5"

   "gaia" revision="6369dbf33b622faf4b4d176fed30b77c5c319dfc"

   Turns out that this is an outdated RIL.

   Full Stop again on changing over to the Jan 28th build that contains the corrected QC Ril  (version 189)

   The build contained incompatable gecko/gaia binaries.  This is the deviceStorage issue that david flanagan mentioned in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.gaia/YAFpysr7JsI/discussion

   http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/manifests/2013-01-28-07/source_unagi-stable_2013-01-28-07.xml

   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiVLbIfaNemedFZKQlczTXdlYXRacGNjSU1qZTBzQ3c#gid=106

   QAnalyst is working on:

   verifying bugs

   addressing qawanted bugs

   running the smoketests for 1/30

   Testrun 4

   If nightly 1/30 checks out we will spin a TestRun 4 test run and have the teams - Mozilla, TEF, and QAnalyst - begin testing against it

   Smoketest is now updated in MozTrap and is called Firefox OS Daily Smoketest. Test cases match what is in the spreadsheet

   Apps (Jason) 

   Lots of 3rd party app update testing

   Starting to focus on preinstalled app flows

   Packaged apps experienced bustage for two days - delaying testing

Services (jrgm) 


   Sync Server (jrgm) - https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Sync/




   BrowserID (jrgm) - https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/BrowserID

   had some ops deployment issues with http://www.rsbac.org/ and train-2013.01.18, so this train is not being deployed. RSBAC issues have been cleaned up and changes are in stage and production.

   support work for Zeus load-balancer upgrade in PHX

   ran load-testing in stage with @lloyd; seems to bottlenecking on network infrastructure and not the node.js daemons themselves; needs more investigation.

   train-2013.02.01 will be cut on Friday.



   Hiring and Training 

   new hire starting week after next.

   phone screens last week and this week; on-site interview this week.

Community (Marcia) 


    Gear Store

   The Gear store is now following a new process as described in the wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/GearStore

   Requests will be made using a Bugzilla form and they are trying to define a set of conversion points that each team will use to define who gets Gear. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Contribute/Conversion_points for info about the conversion points

   The issue of new employees not getting any gear has been raised with HR and I was told that plans are in the works to have the onboarding portal have a series of choices for new employees

   We still can design our own Gear for QA and I encourage teams to think about what they would like to do

   Projects 

    Notes from the Grow Mozilla Meeting:

   There is a proposal on the table for a possible Summit

   If there is such an event they will not have the traditional MozCamps that are held every year but there will be "regional" community events

   We should be thinking about QA community events we want to be involved with in 2013

   One and Done project:

   Each team is requested to come up with the list of tasks that each team does periodically, and highlight those that are particulary suited for community contributors. https://etherpad.mozilla.org/User-Stories-One-and-Done

   Food for thought: Add-ons team has made changes to its incentive program for its add-on reviewers. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2013/01/15/improvements-to-the-reviewer-program/
