Daniel's developer notes: Be careful when using nightly builds...

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:12:21 -0700

There has been some trouble with an accidental SQLite database schema change I've backed out on monday (see bug 446303), which has forced people (which have updated to that specific nightly) to manually restore their storage.sdb.

I'd like to remind everybody that the nightly builds of Sunbird and Lightning are development versions that might break your profile and data. Even though the recent case didn't bring any dataloss (at least I am not aware of any) and a workaround is available, please take care and do backups before updating.

To prevent SQLite database schema trouble in the future, we've decided to require an additional second review on schema changes, and may add a bug keyword to tag those important changes.

I hope you understand...

Calendar Community Testday On Thursday, August 14

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:10:58 -0700

The next test day will be held on Thursday, August 14th. This time we want to take a look at all localized Sunbird builds. Currently there are 33 languages available, and testing all of them is a huge amount of work. You can find the localized builds at http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/sunbird/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8-l10n/. The goal of our test day is to run as many Localization Litmus test cases as possible. Your feedback by editing the Test Plan for 0.9 is appreciated.

There are also many fixed bugs that need to be verified. You simply have to add a comment to the bug report stating what product, version and operating system you used while verifying the bug fixed.

Join us in the #calendar-qa IRC channel on Thursday. All the information on the testday is on our usual Test Day wiki page.

Hope to see you in #calendar-qa!

Simon's developer notes: Back from Mozilla summit

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:07:33 -0700

So I'm back from the Mozilla summit and hope to get out of my jet lag within the next few days. It was really a great adventure with bears, a power outage and a rockslide which got me first floatplane flight ever.

While many people seem to believe that Microsoft is behind all of this, I believe that this was all carefully planned out by Dan Portillo and John Lilly of MoCo :) My hat goes off to dan, who did a perfect job of organizing this whole event for over 400 people.

The summit was great in every aspect. I met lots of people, who I had only known online for years like Gary from the Rumbling Edge, Robert Kaiser (KaiRo) of SeaMonkey fame, Wayne Mery (Thunderbird QA), Axel Hecht (Pike), Mitchell Baker, the hopefully soon to be appointed MoFo Executive Director Mark Surman and many more who I can't possibly all name, because then this post would get a few pages longer.

The sessions were great (I went to most of the Calendar/Thunderbird related ones) and I even got to hold one session myself, where I could introduce myself to a lot of localizers in my new role as Thunderbird localization coordinator.

Besides the sessions, I also got the chance to talk with some people more in depth about some issues, most notably with Mitchell Baker, David Boswell and Mark Surman about sorting out the issues of getting the Calendar Project into the Mozilla Foundation directed giving program, the Mozilla Foundation vision and more ways of cooperating with the Mozilla Foundation and leveraging its assets to move the Calendar Project forward. We also did some product planning regarding the necessary steps for enabling Lightning in Thunderbird.

There's much more, that I could talk about, but I will just close this post by saying that this was a really great event, that many people will likely be talking about for years to come. Thanks Mozilla for organizing this!

Calendar Community Testday On Thursday, July 24

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:50:14 -0700

After a short discussion at the QA chat last week, we decided that the next test day will be held on Thursday, July 24th. The main focus of this test day will be the Today Pane functionality (Berend added some minor features in bug 429687). We will also take a look at the new calendar view navigation (bug 444292), and try to find regressions.

There are also many fixed bugs that need to be verified. You simply have to add a comment to the bug report stating what product, version and operating system you used while verifying the bug fixed.

Join us in the #calendar-qa IRC channel on Thursday. All the information on the testday is on our usual Test Day wiki page.

Hope to see you in #calendar-qa!

The New and Improved Ubuntu QA

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:52:55 -0700

For the last couple of weeks, Jordan Mantha been working behind the scenes on creating a community Ubuntu QA (quality assurance) team. For quite a while Canonical has largely driven QA efforts in Ubuntu. The community can and should step up in this area (see this wiki page for more background information).

In short, a new community-driven Ubuntu QA team is up and running! The IRC channel is #ubuntu-quality and the mailing list is ubuntu-qa.

From the team wiki page:

The Ubuntu QA team is focused on developing tools, policies, and practices for ensuring Ubuntu’s quality as a distribution as well as providing general advice, oversight, and leadership of QA activities within the Ubuntu project.

In general, QA in Ubuntu is broken down into the following areas:

Defect Management (Bug Triage)

Quality Control (Update, Application, and Pre-Release Testing)

Quality Assurance (Verification of Changes, Policy Compliance Review)

Product Improvement (Development)

Getting Involved

The main entry points for working on QA tasks are the BugSquad and Testing Team, however feel free to drop by #ubuntu-quality, if you are interested in Ubuntu QA.

Because Ubuntu QA is a coordination/development/working team the membership guidelines are:

Individuals, not teams may be members.

Memberships expire annually and can be renewed by members themselves.

People from all areas of QA are encouraged to join.

Requirements to join the team:

established record of contributing to QA in Ubuntu (such as BugSquad or Testing Team)

be an Ubuntu Member or ready to become one (i.e. significant and sustained contribution to Ubuntu)

an introductory email sent to the ubuntu-qa list introducing yourself, your previous QA work, and your plans for working in the team.

What kinds of things does Ubuntu QA do?

Coordinate between the various QA-related teams

Build communities around QA work and help them run smoothly

Provide lead-from-the-front leadership to Ubuntu’s QA projects

Assess and communicate Ubuntu’s QA needs

Develop tools and services needed in Ubuntu QA work

Work on creating consistent and efficient QA-related policies

whatever else comes up or people want to contribute

Huge props go to Emmet Hikory, Steve Beattie, Henrik Omma, and the rest of the team for helping this get launched.

So stay tuned for more exciting QA developments, feel free to contribute, and rock on!
