More volunteers needed for nightly crash triage rotation
[cross posting to firefox-dev and stability] Hello all, the crash triage team needs your help in keeping Firefox stable! The role of the triagers is to have a look at the crashes for a certain version of nightly a few days after it has been released and file bugs for crashes that haven't been identified yet. This is usually done to quickly identify regressions but it often also involves looking at low-volume crashes that flew under the radar or platform-specific issue that only appear with specific configurations. Triage is usually done on a daily basis: every triager looks at a certain day worth of crashes, for example on Monday morning I analyze the crashes for the previous Friday's nightly build. Currently we need help for the following days: * Monday nightlies (to be triaged on Wednesday or Thursday) * Thursday nightlies (to be triaged on Friday or Monday) * Saturday nightlies (to be triaged on Monday or Tuesday) The days in which the triage will happen is a suggestion, if you have time another day it's fine given it's at least 24-48h after the build was released. In case you're interested please contact me and I'll be happy to walk you through the process and also mentor you for your first sessions if you're unfamiliar with crash analysis. For further information also please have a look at our wiki page, fairly up-to-date docs are linked from there: https://wiki.mozilla.org/NightlyCrashTriage Gabriele signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
Re: Volunteers needed for nightly crash triage rotation
[cross-posting to firefox-dev and stability] We still have an open slot to triage crashes from Firefox nightly Monday builds. This should take place on a Tuesday or a Wednesday. If somebody has some spare cycles please shoot me a message or fill the roster entry yourself here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/NightlyCrashTriage#Roster I'd also like to thank everybody who has responded to this. The roster is now almost full and we've been quickly finding regressions in nightly, that's no small feat.

Re: Volunteers needed for nightly crash triage rotation
[cross-posting to firefox-dev and stability] FYI quite a few people followed up with me by mail and in person so the roster will soon be full again but more volunteers are still welcome. If we have more volunteers than the slots I'm very happy to do rotations so that we have more eyes on nightly and a lighter workload for everybody.

Volunteers needed for nightly crash triage rotation
[cross-posting to firefox-dev and stability] Due to the recent layoffs the nightly crash triage roster has a lot of holes so if you have some spare cycles please come and help out! Nightly crash triage consists in looking at the crashes for a specific version of nightly (e.g. the previous week Monday build), catching regressions and filing them. Usually it takes no more than 30 minutes per week and is a good way to learn more about Firefox internals and interact with code you're not necessarily familiar with. We've got detailed documentation [1] to get you started. We'll be adding more docs about tools that make the job easier. We've got four slots to fill ATM [2] but in the lucky case there's more candidates than slots we're happy to rotate. Please contact me if you're interested.
