Discussion Items
[Florin] August 15th is a national holiday in Romania, so we will not be at work. August 15th is also Beta 7 day. How can we handle this? Can we move Beta 7 to Thursday? -[mschifer] We will cover in MTV. [Florin] Since Alexandra will be on vacation (August 11th-19th), we need someone to give OP rights on IRC to myself (:FlorinMezei), Andrei Vaida (:avaida) and ioanachiorean. Channels: #testday, #qa, #mozillians, #romania, #firefox, #remo [mschifer[ tracy will take care of this. [kevin] will chase down an IRC op and have the ownership moved to current staff.
