Fennec 4.0.x

- Need to verify that the Firefox 5 Release Tracking list is as complete as possible -- the Product Marketing Managers and PR need a solid list ASAP. If you worked on something for Fx5 please check to see if it's on the list or not, and if it's not either add it or ping deb.
Firefox 5 (Mobile)

Questions and Concerns
- (catlee) schedule for final release process?
- we need to merge mozilla-beta to mozilla-release and then do another round of build prior to release day.
- A: The go/no-go decision for release is around June 7th. If it's a "go", we can do the merge to mozilla-release and do builds and QA shortly after that. This gives us plenty of time for testing before release day on the 21st.
- (jp) When do beta calls start?
- The Beta calls start on Monday May 2nd @2:00pm. We MIGHT change this time and that will be communicated in the meeting reminder send to planning on Friday.
- The goals of having a meeting prior to May 17th is basically to help us plan for the cutover and make sure all logistics and issues are getting addressed.
- (catlee) when are we pushing to mirrors for 3.5/3.6/4.
- A: Planning on pushing in the morning of the 28th, assuming nobody objects. johnath to send mail to r-d
