Project Status

Community Building/Events (ideas and progress) [marcia/tomcat/ashughes]

• Need testday drivers/topics for September 2nd and September 9th
• Guest developer vidyo -- can we record these and publish them on QMO?

QA Videos [marcia]

• marcia and matt reviewed the first iteration of the video that Juan shot that is slated to be on the nightly page. I think there are a few polish items needed:
  • Users need to know where to go for IRC channel
  • We ask for feedback in the video, but don't ask users where to go except for Bugzilla. Suggestions:
    • Show Feedback extension in action as a screencast or screenshot
    • Show them how to enable telemetry

QMO [abillings]

• QMO is now on Github
• We also have new staging and dev servers behind auth. We sync to Dev from Github ever 10 minutes.
  • Staging server
  • Development server
• Al has created a maintenance document.
• QMO Videos are being served from the QA Vimeo account. We have a pro account as of this week, which removes most bandwidth constraints on uploading.
• Anthony is the go-to while Al is on PTO

Meeting Notes/Action Items

Action items/Notes from (20110824) meeting

• GTAC
  • Consensus around the theme
  • Perhaps Involve Bob's group
  • Advertise in GTAC forums, Linked in, Lightning talks
  • What is the goal of having the meetup?
    • I think we want to keep the notion of talks to lightning talks - social interaction should be emphasized

• Adding others to this meeting:
  • Increase the visibility of our involvement into community - advertising blitz to this meeting. Call into this meeting.
