SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • File bug on target milestone and flags for 2.1a1 [KaiRo].

OPEN

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2

open blockers (6) blocker requests (2)

  • IanN has started triaging nominations.
  • Targeted freeze date: 1st September.
  • More detailed schedule? String freeze, targeted ship date?
    • We would then expect at least a week between freeze and release, as Firefox does, also at least two workdays and a weekend between string freeze and code freeze.
    • If we stick to 1st September as code freeze, string freeze would be 27th August and 8th September as target release date. All are agreed.
    • Thunderbird is targeting Beta4 release on 22nd September with 11th September for code freeze.
    • We need to care that they keep shared code stable during the timeframe we need, and the strings in suite/ need to be frozen during our string freeze, which includes mailnews strings. The code freeze period for us should be fairly short, if we have no blockers left on Sep 1, we can do builds on Sep 2 and unfreeze immediately. The string freeze is the real impact.
  • Tabmail and the new Mac theme are the two big missing features.
    • Both should be in final review stages. The biggest part is probably IanN's tabmail review.
  • The API changes of bug 474701 would be nice to get, Lightning uses some part of it, filed bug 509324 for that.
  • Current blockers: The add-on blocklist is easy once we have the AMO one updated. The installer icon thing is something mcsmurf needs to look at. History import needs some a1913 poking.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (4) blocker requests (36) open wanted (16) wanted requests (31)

  • IanN will start triaging blocker and wanted requests.
  • This is our last beta, and that means that 1st September is also feature freeze for the 2.0 series! Exceptions will only be granted in rare and really-high-value cases.
  • Target schedule? Freeze early October, ship mid-October?
    • Thunderbird is expecting RC1 freeze on 3rd. November.
    • We didn't do RC releases for 1.0 or 1.1. Do we want to do those now? how much time would we need between an RC and the next or final to gather feedback?
    • IanN thinks we should have at least one RC just to make sure there are no show stoppers.
    • We traditionally freeze on Tuesdays, so RC1 on 6th October should allow at least a week of string freeze for final and allow us for some time of candidate testing, whether we push them as public RC releases or not.

Any other business?

  • [sgautherie] About the (2.0 and) 2.1 VMs, could a plan be to add some mac minis for unittests, and replace the/some Mac VMs by Linux/Windows to improve/extend unittests coverage?
  • [sgautherie] Also, some mac help would be wanted on permanently orange bug 506850 mochitest-chrome: test_action_keys_respect_focus.xul and test_clear_button_disabled.xul (intermittently) report "Test timed out"...
  • [KaiRo] Mac help is the one things we won't get much or which we are missing most of the time. Regarding the machines, I need to get back to talk with IT and Community Giving to find a solution on the Parallels failure.
