(211) One and Done Initiative – Help us build a Mozilla QA task board
by Mozilla QA
Mozilla QA is holding a hackathon to code the first version of the
software that would power the "One and Done" initiative, also known as
the QA Taskboard.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Task...What is "One and Done"?
"One and Done" is a workflow where Mozilla community members can pick
Mozilla QA tasks and work on them - one at a time, one day at a time -
and feel good about completing them and thus contributing to the community.Mozilla QA sees the "One and Done" initiative as a way for Mozilla
community contributors to get introduced to various projects and then to
become involved in an area of their interest. Contributors would be able
to find their voice in the community, be able to engage meaningfully,
and feel rewarded for their contribution.What happens during the session?
Come write the code needed to come up with a working Version 1.0 of this
product during the session at Mozilla Festival 2012.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Task...We will form small groups (about 3 to 5 people). Each group will be
provided with a detailed prototype for each feature. Each group will
code the feature, test it, critique it, and iterate.Who should come?
* Mozilla Community members who would like to give feedback on whether
this product would enable them to contribute to Mozilla QA in a concrete
way.* UX/UI designers who would love to pull inspiration and design ideas
from the rough-cut mockups available on the Mozilla QA Wiki:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Task...* Developers comfortable hacking web application frameworks powered by
Django (specifically Playdoh and OSQA).
https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Task...* Testers who would love to give feedback and test with us to
supercharge the product with awesomeness.Take-aways:
Participants will:
* learn how to help develop Mozilla products and contribute source code
to Mozilla's code repository,
* learn how to participate at future Mozilla community gatherings to
develop the product further and
* be asked to join our mailing list to stay in touch and share progress. -

Ever wanted to learn how to do UI testing? Join this 'we made it - you break it' playtesting session and have your say directly to the people responsible for future product direction for all things Webmaker.
How will we do this? We'll offer you the latest and greatest user testing kit we've got and ask you to try a series of simple tasks - you'll tell us where we've got it wrong, what you expect to see, and whether it all makes sense. In return, we'll show you how to document your findings and become a bona-fide UI tester in the great big Mozillaverse.
We'll look for simple things like 'I don't see the button' all the way to 'this is a good place to consider localization challenges'.
Who should come?
- ReMos, passionate Mozillians, button pressers!
- Instructors who are interested in user testing our tools with youth
