“Your mission, should you choose to accept it…”

02/02/2007

Mozilla IT (thanks Aravind and Justin!) recently archived to tape a huge set of builds from the mozilla.org FTP staging server.¹
These aren’t just the builds, but also the original build artifacts, from the original tinderboxen, through what was released (and probably [hopefully?!] is still available) on the FTP server.

I asked IT to make three copies of this particular backup tape: one to store with the rest of our backups, one for the Build Team to keep offsite², and one to keep significantly offsite.
To achieve the last requirement, Beltzner, who happened to be in town this week, will be helping me to find a safe, shady spot in the Toronto office for this little bit of Mozilla Project history.
