Testing Sprint
Abstract	Tim Riley, Mozilla's Director of QA, will be guiding a testing sprint at the Mozilla project day. All contributors interested in testing Mozilla in India can gather with Tim who will give a brief introduction to Mozilla's QA process and testing in India. Tim will then use the remainder of the time to guide the new contributors through a test day. Participants will test Firefox in India, searching for bugs that can be isolated and filed into Bugzilla, Mozilla's bug tracking tool. We will focus on fonts and translations within Firefox along with rendering of India related websites. Non-Mozilla bugs, that are due to website errors, will be added to a list of affected sites that the Mozilla community will contact and urge to use more inclusive Web development techniques. We will also look at some existing bugs to confirm, ensure they have steps to reproduce, or verify they are fixed correctly. This will be an opportunity to directly contribute to this benefitial open source project!
Pre-requisites	Interrest to learn more about testing and helping the Mozilla project. A laptop to access the LAN.
Speaker Profile	As director of engineering and Special Projects at the Mozilla Foundation and Corporation, Chris Hofmann has spearheaded the research and development work of thousands of open source contributors around the world and has contributed to every Netscape and Mozilla browser release since 1996. As the first employee at the Mozilla Foundation in August 2003, Chris led a small team of top engineers to establish the foundation as an independent and self-sustaining organization. In 2004, Chris managed and executed the first worldwide release of Mozilla Firefox 1.0. The Firefox release helped to fulfill the Mozilla Foundation’s goal of supporting open Web standards, provide innovation and choice for Internet software, and its broad acceptance in the marketplace has set Firefox on a path to remarkable marketshare growth. Chris now develops partnerships with companies that test, develop and distribute Mozilla technology in a variety of ways. He also helps to build out Mozilla communities around the world that are involved with localization of Firefox in to over 40 languages, and provide support to Firefox users. He engages with security researchers to help improve browser security, and works on a variety of mobile initiatives using the Mozilla technology.
