It's time to bring Harmony home

by Dave Miller (justdave)

Many Years Ago™ Dylan created a (“temporary”!) repo to house an experiment with trying to merge bugzilla.mozilla.org’s fork of Bugzilla (henceforth called BMO) back upstream. And thus, Harmony was born. As this experiment turned out to be largely successful (though much delayed) and is now considered our primary development branch, it’s time for it to live in the actual Bugzilla repo instead of off on its own.

Release of Bugzilla 5.2, 5.0.4.1, and 4.4.14

by Dave Miller (justdave)

This has been a long time coming. Just over a year since we announced the new nonprofit to manage Bugzilla, we finally have a set of releases to show for it. Our only excuse is that the lead developer is a volunteer, has been working almost (but not quite) alone on it, and still has to juggle his normal paying job. A little more about what can be done about that below. First let’s get to the big news!

January Bugzilla Meeting will be January 9

by Dave Miller (justdave)

Our regular meeting schedule dictates that our meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month at 21:00 London Time.  Since the first Wednesday of January is the 2nd and a lot of people will still be on vacation then (and we’ll have issues getting resources for the meeting) we’ll be holding our January meeting on January 9th instead.  You can still find all the details at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Meetings

This month’s Bugzilla Project meeting coincides with the Mozilla Allhands in Orlando, and since most of our usual participants will be here in person we’ll be holding it panel-discussion style from the Europe 2 conference room on the Lobby level of the Dolphin at 4pm Eastern. Anyone who’s at the Allhands is welcome to come see us. Of course, it’ll still be streamed on Air Mozilla at 21:00 UTC as usual, and dial-in will be available for anyone remote who wants to talk or ask questions.  All the details (Sched link, Video stream links, dial-in info) is at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Meetings
