    • We're just starting to get engaged on B2G now, will be attending the weekly meeting and triage when we can
    • Our early focus on B2G will include:
      • builds - daily device images, human readable build ID
      • l10n - don't know current status here right now, will sync up with Axel (?)
      • Helping with strategy around convergence (and therefore branching)
      • Supplementing QA testing (Mobile Test Drivers?)
      • Helping to finalize the update cadence/strategy
      • Tracking required Gecko changes/approvals/landings and managing risk to desktop/mobile products while making progress on B2G. Gaia/Gonk approval and tracking volume will likely be too high for Release Management to handle prior to 1.0 (same as mobile)
    • We're staffing up (please forward anybody with release/project management experience and a love of OSS). Post-1.0 we plan to help with:
      • Risk management and approvals for Gecko/Gonk/Gaia
      • Full build/release coordination
      • ...
    • Current hot topic: Using ESR branch for Gecko version to prevent exponentially more work for engineers/QA with each release
      • Following up with Kev, and soon JP on finalizing dates/versions
      • Will send proposal to b2g-internal when ready
      • What can we do post-1.0?
    • Reminder, next merge day is 6/4 (a day before release, a day earlier than normal)
