Meeting Notes
- MWC, busy, successful, set good high expectations to live up to, constant demos, inspiring
- Persona on phone is important! Meaningful federated identity system is the hard road, but important win for users
- Supporting these users is an important priority
- Welcome back James Bonacci!
Signin & big Q1 goals
- Signin team is juggling 5 important Q1 goals (including B2G support)
- assessment due Wed for each goal, with 2/3 key dates leading up to the goals
- make any hard calls about priority quickly
Big Tent
- Mission critical goal (Beta2 & BigTent)
- Figure out what needs to be done to get it into production
- Need a week in production before we can do Beta2
- 9 April is drop dead day for hitting deadline for making Q1 goal
- Don't want a quality dip right before we go to press
- BigTent blocked on QA
- 5 star bug, Yahoo mobile (upstream issue, same bug on stack overflow)
- Maybe not a five star if its found on other major sites?
- Proposal: revert stage back to train-2013.02.15 which is current production, to focus on BigTent testing against current production (current train going well enough)
- 5 star bug, Yahoo mobile (upstream issue, same bug on stack overflow)
- IRC meeting to pull BigTent plan together
Beta2
- Ben jumping in to take on Beta2, will ask for help where he needs it
- Dan handing off workflow from Beta1 to Ben for Beta2
AWS
- Gen can now provision the environment in region (sans code)
- need AMIs for bigtent, proxy
- BigTent + Proxy tier is standalone product in AWS, without moving everything else in lockstep
- All of the pieces need to be moved from SC2 by April deadline
B2G
- B2G continues to rock
- Jed solved memory issue on B2G by making process not long lived
- If phone kills app due to memory usage, no solution for that problem yet
- Platform team: perhaps they can help, they are open to helping if they can -- lay out requests for them
Blog postings
Node.js
- A node.js blog schedule can be viewed at: https://id.etherpad.mozilla.org/a-nodejs-winter
- Deadline tonight for Zach's post
- Lloyd is up next w/awsbox, his deadline in two weeks 3/18 (Lloyd will speak up by tomorrow if that is infeasible)
- ozten on deck for 4/1 deadline with l10n-abide
- These posts are important and have been well received
- Really good text coming out, these posts have a really positive impact
- Good recruiting tool!
Identity team blog
- To give the blog some life, Ben is jumping in and doing some posts
- No master plan yet, jump in if you are interested
- Ben will answer question about whether Persona is doomed (framed differently)
- Good idea to reference back to other posts
Persona Adoption Wins
- Metrics dashboard: triple our usage from Jan 1! Above 30,000 users per day
- Props to Dan for landing Discourse! Awesome stuff.
- Badges for adding Discourse to blog
- Skype call to use Persona on Discourse site itself (?)
- Using leverage to get Discuss to do Persona as well
Team Process
Teamstatus: is it a useful read? (Ben reads it, so do several other team members, not everyone)
- Send Ben and Tauni a one liner by email on what change could be made to get you to read teamstatus once a week
Team Status
B2G
- need to deal with this soon: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3033 (too-early assertion expiration on b2g) - good first stab at merging dev and b2g with 6a68; actually considerably less painful than anticipated :) - UX updates need scheduling
Signin to the Web
- Wondering about our train schedule? Wonder no more, Lloyd created an awesome tool that clear up any questions about where we are with our schedule
BigTent
Dialup Performance
KPI / Metrics
- Changes lined up, waiting on security review and qa blessing for kpi - live
ScalingUp
Profile in the Cloud (PiCL)
- check out the Attached Services wiki page for regular updates and new demos.
- Shane Caraveo feedback for native identity patch super helpful (re demo of native sign-in patch)
WebRTC
QA
- train-2013.03.01 built and deployed to stage with some preliminary testing -
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=846928
- For bigtent testing, we may want to move stage back to train-2013.02.15 which is current production and (hopefully) get that out next week.
- I've put up a c1.medium awsbox to test 2003.03.01 if we roll back to 2003.02.15 on stage - https://train0301.personatest.org/
- there are a few open issues at the moment with bigtent
- I am happy to take anyone's help in testing bigtent ;-)
