Alex - make sure everybody who needs to be around to discuss Flash beta is at our next channel meeting
Schedule Update
- We are here on the schedule - the bugs tracked for FF13 is a fairly manageable burndown list at this point
- Engineers and engineering managers have been notified of outstanding tracked bugs
- Pushed out a new desupport hotfix (20120430.01) to fix over-prompting on Tuesday
- 13.0b1 was unthrottled yesterday

Release
QA
Aurora
Beta
QAWANTED (query)
- bug 729507 Crash in JSObject::finish - unable to reproduce crash with Yandex, any other leads we can pursue?
Nightly Betas Proposal
- Daily checkpoint for automation (as we do now with Nightly & Aurora)
- Staggered weekly checkpoint for smoketests, feature sign-offs, and exploratory testing
- Weekly checkpoint for bug fix verification progress, tracking to 0-bugs before release
- Should also do more to encourage a wider dog-fooding audience
- Q) How do we do a dry-run with weekly Betas?
Pre-release Software Proposal
- Current Coverage:
- Marcia dog-foods OSX 10.8 "once in a while", I'm not sure we have anyone doing the same for Win8
- Marcia dog-foods the official Flash Betas when they appear on labs.adobe.com
- Flash is tested every week in our Firefox Beta sign-offs (mostly regression tests against the current Flash release)
- Proposal: treat pre-release OS and Flash as "features"
- If OSX 10.8 is due out around the same time as Firefox 14 (June), add it to the "feature sign-offs" for Firefox 14 (marcia)
- If Win 8 is due out around the same time as Firefox 16 (October), add it to the "feature sign-offs" for Firefox 16 (juanb)
- Adobe puts out weekly sandboxed Betas; once a week we put this through a suite of regression and "feature" tests against the lastest Firefox Beta (ashughes)
RelEng
