• Browser Neutral Docs for Web Technologies [India]

  by Janet Swisher, Jay Patel and Eric Shepherd

  BoF Session:

  Sheppy, Janet and a group of volunteers have been expanding our developer-oriented documentation on MDN, both for Firefox/Gecko-specific features and for open Web standards. As the docs community grows, we are getting interest from other vendors, like Google, to contribute and find ways to do more together. We would like to see a world where all the vendors working on open Web technologies bring their doc writers together to create content that benefits all Web developers -- and Mozilla is the best organization to pull it off. But there are questions about ownership, branding and social structure that we need to sort out. We hope to get the discussion started with Mozillians, so we can better prepare a plan to share with Google, Adobe, Opera and Microsoft to see if we can make something happen.

  Speaker: Robert Nyman

  When you get feedback and comments, especially ones that don't relate to what you work on, how do we acknowledge those who are commenting, treat them with respect and make them feel that they are being heard. Basically, how do we handle feedback more effectively, both internally and externally.

• How do we effectively prioritize and drive non-feature work? [Berlin]

  by Sheila Mooney, JP Rosevear and Lucas Adamski

  Track: Grow Mozilla
  Speaker: Lucas Adamski
  Speaker: Sheila Mooney
  Speaker: JP Rosevear

  While Rapid Release has been effective at managing the progress of individual features, it does not provide much guidance on how to prioritize and drive other types of work necessary to ensure a quality release. Security, stability, performance, localization and other types of non-feature work do not naturally fit into the mantra of "it ships when its ready". This session will discuss a strawman proposal on how such work could effectively be prioritized and driven to completion in context of the other product prioritizes.
