This week flew by pretty quickly. I had two doctors visits and spent all of Wednesday out of the office so it felt like a very short week but I still managed to get a few things done.
Under the heading of "regular activities", I attended the mozilla.org staff meeting where we discussed topics from the stated of various releases to new tools like hendrix and reporter tool landing. I also had a drivers@mozilla.org and aviary team meeting where we talked about a 1.0.x Firefox update and the schedule for Firefox 1.1. Not to let a week go by without at least three meetings ;-) I also met with the update.mozilla.org team to discuss bringing the service up to a higher level of quality, security, and scalability. Oh, and I had a great meeting/discussion with Aaron leventhal, MoFo QA, and accessibility contributors to discuss our a11y goals and plans for Firefox.
Also under the heading of regular tasks, I did a few bits of Bugzilla administrative work, adding keywords, updating default assignees, etc. and I mediated in a couple of Bugzilla disputes.
My overall focus this week, other than meetings and general administration, was on planning for automation. I worked with several contributors in defining a set of requirements for some preliminary functional test automation, investigating some 3rd party tools, and working with twalker and jst on a testing tool I hope to talk more about next week.
In addition to the regular tasks and the automation work, I also spent some time investigating Firefox 1.1 blockers and spent some time here on this blog and at SFX posting updates around the Firefox download milestones -- oh, and I worked up and posted the Ask Asa responses.
Also, I've created and posted a new roadmap diagram for inclusion in the Roadmap. I think I'll whip up a "zoomed in" roadmap that shows the Firefox schedule on the Gecko 1.8 branch.
There were lots of other little bits and tasks but I'm not even sure if anyone's interestd in this kind of stuff so I won't go into much more detail until I hear if you care about this kind of status info.
Let me know what you think, and if you're a regular contributor to any of the Mozilla projects, I'm keenly interested in what you've been working on recently.
