However, I am noticing that some of your diagrams have really small packed text in it. You might want to make it bigger, less wordy or at least give it more spacing.<br /><br />See you at fsoss :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233067203835670104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-63558823447174254752010-10-13T18:15:33.825-04:002010-10-13T18:15:33.825-04:00Hi Dustin,

I believe I could move this to the section where I would be talking about the release process itself and who we have to be reaching<br /><br />- yeah, I will have to think on how to make it clear and easy to understand why we had packaged tests to begin with and why we broke them into smaller pieces<br /><br />- no, it won't be streamed live but it will be recorded and then posted somewhere.<br /><br />- meanwhile you can have a look at http://oduinn.com/blog/2010/06/14/releng-brownbag-re-revised/ to get an idea of how our systems work<br /><br />Thanks Dustin, I will post a revised version early next week.armenzghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276390189080271638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-25599542746295261442010-10-13T11:31:28.450-04:002010-10-13T11:31:28.450-04:00It's obviously pretty rough so far, but a few ...It's obviously pretty rough so far, but a few commments:<br /><br /> - there are a few slides about Mozilla's "big numbers", all of which are impressive, but they should probably be back-to-back. I would think it makes most sense to present the how-does-it-work parts first (the commit process, the "cloud", talos, unit tests, builds), then talk about just how often this happens and how many systems we have.<br /><br /> - for folks who aren't immersed in this problem, it might be good to clearly spell out the needs. It seems obvious to us, but it's not obvious to many people that there's a need both to run tests, and to build packages, and that the same systems can do both, but they have very different requirements. It might be nice to do a slide or two on each of those (further breaking down the testing part into performance and unit).<br /><br />Other than that, I look forward to learning more about the infrastructure *from* your presentation. Will it be streamed live?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066168408300187392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-8044002857814097892010-10-13T08:53:05.343-04:002010-10-13T08:53:05.343-04:00Right!

I ha...Right! I knew I forgot mentioning something.<br /><br />I have speaker notes on the slideshow which cannot be seen in the embedded version but they can be seen in the linked draft.<br />I wrote those too (more or less) to give an idea of what I actually want to speak about.<br /><br />I guess I could provide a fast screen-cast next week to give a better idea of what the presentation is looking like.<br /><br />Thanks Gerv!armenzghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276390189080271638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18323498.post-22568589118690957702010-10-13T04:43:15.750-04:002010-10-13T04:43:15.750-04:00It's hard to give feedback without knowing wha...It's hard to give feedback without knowing what you are going to say... <br /><br />If the entire informational content of your presentation is encoded in the slides, then you can just send people the slides and not do the presentation! So I assume you have more to say than what's written on here. But that makes it not really possible to comment, because we don't have a recording of you giving the talk...<br /><br />GervGervhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079277032027702609noreply@blogger.com
