• Initial data in the Play Console suggests that the latest Galaxy S8 fix in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460989 is having a positive effect on crash rates reported through there \m/

Roundtable

• (mtabara) random question - do we have a plan / ETA to switch from etherpad to google docs or w\e ?
  • not really, this is temporary storage (notes are stored on the wiki after the meeting) so probably fine
