Highlights

This is a place for people to put announcements or to describe activities that they'd like to highlight. It's not the responsibility of the MC to find things to put here.

• OrangeFactor on trunk trees for last 7 days is now a whopping 10.35 !! :-( (See dev.platform thread).

Issues

Any issues that need discussing with the entire team go here

• New Meeting format

In-Depth Project Discussion

Pick one project/presenter per week who will give a detail presentation on their project.

Upcoming Events

• Bugzilla downtime & the long awaited upgrade is Tuesday night (i.e. tomorrow) in north america, 17:30PST - 11PST. If you know a bugzilla developer, send them snacks and coffee. But seriously, if any tools go down as a result, be prepared to be on point to fix them. However, we don't expect any issues.

Round Table

• Who can help out diving into the Android automation failures in the top 10 highest on orange factor?
• We need to land FPS measurements by end of week for b2g. We are close. What does it take to get there?

Tools (2nd Monday)

Tinderboxpushlog

• [edmorley] New things in production: https://bugzil.la/841786,843524,844073,844102,844811
• [edmorley] Finishing up the TBPL Chief self-deploy coordination with IT (bug 827473).
• [edmorley] Reviewed multiple iterations of bug 841316.

War on Orange

• OrangeFactor on trunk for last 7 days: 10.35 !! :-( (See dev.platform thread)
• [edmorley] Reviewed bug 766546, bug 634747.
• [RyanVM] Regression finding & backouts of recent oranges.
• [RyanVM] Developer outreach on some of the unowned top oranges (bug 749894, bug 833769, bug 754860)
• [RyanVM, edmorley] Discussions with Clint about bringing OrangeFactor up in tomorrow's platform meeting and possibly offering once or twice monthly updates on an ongoing basis.

TBPL Version 2

• [edmorley] Created the treeherder-service github.com repo.
• [mdoglio] Pull request for initial Vagrant dev environment.

Process (4th Monday)

Sheriffing & Trees

• [edmorley] WIP policy draft (destined for wiki.m.o) on "criteria for having a new platform/testsuite shown by default on TBPL". (In response to the same questions having arisen multiple times over the last few months).
• [edmorley] Several discussions over the tree.m.o aliases and tinderbox depreciation.
• [edmorley, RyanVM] Multiple debates over the need to close the trees for the Bugzilla 4.2 rollouts. The resistance received (and having to restate our case to multiple parties, when the sheriffs IMO ultimately have the final say) was pretty frustrating.
• [RyanVM] Day to day sheriffing of trees, including multiple tree closures for various infrastructure problems and bustage landing during peak checkin periods. As noted above, last week's OrangeFactor made regression hunting and backouts extremely difficult.
• [RyanVM] Initial triage and filing of mochitest-assertion-as-failures bugs.

Holidays and Trips

• [edmorley] PTO next week Mon+Tues (11th-12th March).
