This spring I switched jobs and now work as a sysadmin for Mozilla, the non-profit organization that backs community-driven projects like Firefox. Firefox has been going through some extensive changes this year, some of it perceived as good, some bad. I don't think we are always the best at communicating what we're doing or the motivations/rationale behind those changes, though. To try and address this, we do have an Enterprise User Working Group (which I'm not sure the intended audience here even knows about: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise) that exists to communicate with and help the people supporting Firefox users.
As a sysadmin who's heard complaints (some of which I share) about the changes in the past year but has also heard about a lot of the cool stuff we're working on, I thought that a LISA BoF would be a great venue for the working group folks to talk with real live sysadmins. This seems like the perfect opportunity to communicate where the Firefox dev community is heading and get feedback from the sysadmin community on what the biggest pain points are and how we can help/make it better. I pitched the idea to a colleague the working group, and they think it's a great idea, too. I have some ideas for topics that would be of interest to me as a sysadmin, but I'd like to get some feedback from the rest of the sysadmin community about specific things that YOU would want to hear about/discuss at a BoF (you don't necessarily have to be attending). I'll be summarizing and passing along to my contacts in the working group at the end of the week so that they can formulate a list of general topics and pick the right people to send to the conference so that everyone gets the most out of the BoF. Thanks for any feedback you have to offer! _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
