Notices / Schedule

DOWNTIME IN PROGRESS NOW before possible respin

  • Codefreeze was Friday
  • Schedule is really tight with holidays, summit, and BlackHat

Blocker Report

Firefox 3.6.7 and 3.5.11

• Codefreeze was Friday

• Most are security fixes we need to fix them on branches before BlackHat (end of July)
• Only taking blockers at this time, and we need to get them all in TODAY.

Firefox 4 Beta

• Beta 1 candidate builds available on FTP
  • there are a couple of new beta 1 blockers which require a respin, so build2 on its way
• time to start working on beta2 blockers, everyone!
• QA wants us to work with everyone to manage large invasive landings so that we get testing before they hit mozilla-central

Browser / Front End

Team's been chasing down bugs for the beta, and now cranking on beta 2.

Fix those branch blockers!

Roundtable

• Propose a format change for this meeting (damons): Instead of going group by group and asking for any updates, how about talking about specific progress on goals for this quarter: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2010-Q3-Goals ?
