DXR

  • Continuous deployment is in place for staging!
  • The DXR code we've written for the last 5 months is finally LIVE! This let us close about 10 longstanding bugs and brings a gazillion new features to our users.
  • An up-to-date mozilla-central tree is now building, locally and manually. That was hard. There's a reason we have a whole releng department whose job this is. :-) Working on buildbot integration.
  • Ported buggy, ad hoc multiprocessing implementation to concurrent.futures. 200 lines → 20 lines.
  • New production setup docs
  • callers: and called-by: query speedups
  • Little bugs and improvements. Progress indicators flicker less. JS code now uses a consistent case convention. Fixed some overzealous string escaping.
  • Welcome to a new contibutor, jonasac!

Socorro

  • Reviewed patches: ES stuff, new skiplist implementation, etc.
  • RabbitMQ sprint (way back when)
  • Lots of simplifying and correcting the rabbitmq branch to get it ready to merge

More

  • Release nose-progressive 1.4.3 and 1.5:
    • Support for any text editor that has a go-to-line option, no matter how it's spelled.
    • Ability to jump to a failure in your editor in one click: no copying and pasting.
    • First-class Python 3.3 support
  • Lots of chasing the Indian Consulate around and such for my Fifth Elephant trip. A slapdash video preview of my talk
  • Released Parsimonious 0.5 so the CSS parser could have single-quoted literals and whitespace allowed after parens.
    • Put together a proof-of-concept CSS parser in Parsimonious. Basta is now building a minifier based on it.

  • met with Pike to talk about Elmo/a10n again
  • worked on the Elmo trying to figure out a collation issue (bug 538282)

I want to go to Brussels since I want to stay close to the then very close birth of my first child.

  • Brussels - I've never been to continental Europe, and I really like Belgian beer.

  • Snippets is almost done being rewritten. IT SHALL BE STUNNING
  • I've been doing Couch 2 5k! I CAN'T STOP RUNNING
  • I purchased Grooveshark Anywhere! I'M BASS AND DRUMMING

I want to go to Brussels because I have never left the continent. BROADEN MY HORIZUNING

Brussels. Best beer in the world. Are there other reasons?

  • Lots of work on separating AMO and MKT elasticsearch indexes.
  • Work on "buchets" -- filtering out apps that don't work on the user's device.
  • Made a jsfiddle thing to help calculate feature profiles that we pass as a query string to the API: http://jsfiddle.net/robhudson/9PArz/

Brussels ~ Looks like a beautiful place and I have never been there. Also, looks like I will be in good company ;)

(following mkelly's suggestion about what to put in here)

Social activities:

  • met Yahuda Katz AND Tim Berners-Lee - BEAT THAT, everyone else
  • also been to one of these monthly ladieswhocode meetings where I try to convince people to stop using ASP and move to JS
  • and went picnic-ing to Hampstead Heath where we had scones and played badminton. It can't get more English than that.

There's this upcoming DemoJS demoscene party in Paris: http://demojs.org They are accepting remote submissions so if you're into making something fancy feel free to enter one of their compos! I looked into going there but the travel+hotel was indecently expensive.

Finally: I'd prefer Santa Clara as I haven't been there and it sounds warmer than Toronto or Brussels. But I've already been to Brussels so I'd prefer travelling somewhere new (to me) like Toronto! What I like about Brussels is that one can go there by train, and cross the Chunnel, which always seemed like very awesome to me.

  • Lots of work on web components, templates, and such for Firefox Apps. Coming along nicely!


I'd love to go to Brussels because:

  • It's a great city with a rich history for Mozilla (FOSDEM, hello!)
  • aaand I can add a few days of PTO afterwards and take a quick train ride to visit my family, which would be awesome.

willkg

  • input.mozilla.org: fixed locale handling in responses, added query parser and fixed happy hardcoding for FfA
  • support.mozilla.org: fixed some minor things
  • elasticutils: overhauled docs, updated changelog and added a bunch of tests -- probably ready for a 0.7 release
  • tower: updated docs

Awaiting new roommate. He should be here in the next few days.
