Upcoming joint QA-l10n events
Jeff Beatty and I have teamed up to work on some interesting "fusion" events in the upcoming quarters. The l10n team has already been planning a bunch of Hackathon style events, so Jeff and I decided it might be interesting to join forces and do some QA presentations at these events.
The first event will be held in July in Lima, Peru, and will be led by Juan and Gabriela of the QA team. The content focus will primarily be on the Firefox Desktop. We also hope to be able to provide the participants with an overview of the QA team and what we do at Mozilla. It was clear from my recent participation in the MozBalkans event that QA can be a misunderstood area, and we hope to be able to clear up some of the misconceptions about what types of skills you need to be involved in QA at Mozilla.
The invites for this event were handled by having those that reside in LATAM apply, and then as a team we selected 5 individuals to participate in the Peru event. I modeled this after our successful BuddyUp Pilot Program, where we followed the same pattern. Juan and Gabriela will prepare content, and we will make sure we capture lots of feedback at the conclusion of the event to be used for future events.
Stay tuned for more news as about this event, as well as future events.
