Workflow overview

The Developer Events flow chart offers a visual overview of this workflow.

As a summary, anyone who would like Mozilla to participate in an event completes the Developer Events form. Bugzilla processes the answers and opens a request bug to summarize the request and a discussion bug for the Developer Events team to discuss the request privately. The team discusses the request and updates keywords and other bug metadata along the way. When a decision is reached, the team shares the decision in the request bug where the requester can see it.

More detail is provided in further sections.

Using this workflow

Keywords

Requests and discussions can be tagged with special keywords that indicate state. Requests and discussions are automatically organized based on their keywords (see Listings below) so it's important that keywords are manually updated when requests and discussions change.

In the example below, a request is tagged with the keyword event-request-under-review.
