After a great internship, we sadly waved goodbye to mjessome a few weeks
ago when he went back to UWaterloo to continue his studies.

Marc spent the summer working with Lukas Blakk on integrating two large parts of our developer infrastructure: TryServer and Bugzilla. Marc’s work is running in staging right now, and if all continues to go well, this should start to see light-of-day in production soon.

While it might sound strange to tie these two very different systems together like this, the idea here is quite fundamentally important to everyone who uses TryServer for Mozilla, and should roll out to other RelEng production systems soon afterwards. The curious can click here for more details or follow bug#657828.

I am happy to report that Marc seemed to still have lots of fun during his internship. Marc’s fire eating class at The Crucible was a sideeffect of a discussion he and I had during the RelEng work week in Toronto. By comparing these photos with photos taken when I took the class, you can easily tell that mjessome is much better at this then I ever was. I also discovered that interview questions about juggling and riding a unicycle, were somehow missing from RelEng’s list of interview questions, but I’ve now fixed that.

Thanks for all your great work, Marc, we really enjoyed working with you, and hope we cross paths again soon.
