Mozilla QA at the Work Week

A few weeks ago many Mozillians trekked to Whistler to experience the second Mozilla Coincidental Work Week. Below is a picture of the QA team in action:

While at the Work Week I participated in two Participation Labs for QA. In the first Lab I wanted to explore the possibility of designing a set of small scale, repeatable events for QA training. During the hour allotted we had a very interesting discussion, but unfortunately I think that the discussion went in a different direction, more along the lines of exploring how QA brings strategic advantage to Mozilla. It was helpful, but I would like to follow up with this idea of leveraging the work we did with the BuddyUp Pilot and create a cohesive plan for these types of events going forward. I also think to really have achieved that goal we would have needed more time to hammer out the details of our approach.

The second Participation Lab focused on QA working better with the Mozilla Reps.

The Participation Team indicated they will be following up with us individually regarding our sessions, so I hope to have more clarity around next steps after I hear back from them.

In the meantime, I think the big win for me during the Work Week was to see the QA community in person - that was my favorite time spent during the course of the event.
