Notes, Takeaways and Action Items

Today

Mobile test day on friday: 
- first test day for native fennec
- if you have an android phone please participate

- go over highlights:
- look for coverage for P0 and P1 that has landed thus far
- if you haven't loaded native fennec, it's worth it to do so
- launching dogfood program
	- distribute phones
- participation for folks for daily participation
- ongoing
= test day is traditional
- henrik to present at mozcamp
- working on slides
- QA slides to verify

- team meetings : brainstorms for bhags for goals for 2012
- we won't have these set in stone for 1 hr meeting, but we should try to express these goals in these meetings
- brown bag by the end of year.

- the trick would be plan ahead to react to changing conditions
- that would account for that.

- big goals are vision statements rather than deliver x y z.

- as part of the update : community goals.
- discussion about how do we move forward on that.
- community based goals
- gaby 2300 has now been active on native.
- Q4 community goals => have goals around community management
- blogging, tasks, etc. 
- marcia can help you out in terms of community management goals for this quarter and next year.
- BHAGs for 2012 would be largely around community management; will be hugely important
- we won't be able to grow unless we grow the community and them more aware and interested
- Big focus of next year as far as ideas.
- vision statement for team meetings

- case conductor may be the center piece of this.  (mevans's idea)
- do community management; case conductor could be one of the tools.

- Marcia - putting on community notes and Juan's idea on community kits and other ideas (including Romania one)

- in terms of focus, any doubt on priority : native fennec, firefox, open web apps, 
Those are the big projects taht we are absolutely focused on that.
- if there is any questions, those should be prioritized first.

- jrgm :(john morrison) joining and helping james and tracy

- any other discussion items?
- juan : pretty short, if you notice anything with 8 or hear it, please report it on the wiki page for the rapid release wiki (on wiki page)

- tony : read the wiki; everyone should look at native fennec for their android device.  If you don't have one please ask/get one.
- test day on friday
- native support for froyo (2.2)
- tablet is not there; lower priority
- simplier and faster version of XUL fennec
- everything else is on the wiki

- shipped Firefox live today
- a few small release today
- pretty good launch and it's up.
- Firefox live 2 : series of webcams on red pandas

- come up with 3 tasks for community members to do this?
- people don't have the time?  Let's get this done by friday
-> everything else is on the wiki
-> QMO?  HTTPS now.

-> Henrik : Burns: potential issues with mozmill; running out of processes, should be sorted out 

- Case Conductor : 
- we're just about done.  just need approval for .6 release; dogfooding release.
- few people approached for test cases, and testing
- any test that written will be persistent.  love to have smaller projects to do that
- migration for the next day or 2
- staging server : caseconductor.allizom.org
- more than help with that.

- OWA holding pattern:
- getting build that is testable.
- quite a few bugs
