Weekly Status Report, W38/2012

Here's a short summary of Mozilla-related work I've done in week 38/2012 (September 17 - 23, 2012):

• CSI:Mozilla / CrashKill:
  More testing of Firefox OS on my otoro and trying poking people so we get crash reporting working.
  That work on B2G crash reporting included a conference with UX and privacy teams on what the flow of crash reporting should be for users in a way that we respect their privacy (i.e. enable a really informed opt-out).
  Followed how the Socorro team fixed two bugs in their recent release and deployed those fixes fast, also helped testing that those worked.
  Filed a bug on getting more resilient against late ADU pushes again.
  Had some discussions on crashes with CyanogenMod.
  Added bug IDs to my topcrasher reports for ARMv6, Win8 and Mountain Lion.
  Watched data for the new Flash release coming up that week.
  As usual, watched new/rising crashes, caring that bugs are filed where needed, and made sure my custom reports keep working well.
• German L10n:
  Done some reviews for German L10n work.
  Synched core, suite and Chatzilla L10n with trunk.
• Web Apps:
  Made Lantea Maps available on GitHub, updated its screen shots on the Mozilla Marketplace, and did a blog post inviting contributions.
• Various Discussions/Topics:
  UA strings and hardware tokens, B2G wallpaper customization, Mozilla Dino head, etc.

Things are busy again, esp. due to deadlines coming up in the B2G project and the general pace of Firefox OS work picking up. I have we finally are on the breakthrough to also get crash reporting in this system in the right direction so we can more efficiently help to make this a damn stable experience for our users!
