Roundtable Highlights
- Had some interesting conversation in warsaw when do we see some public roundup ?
- work is in progress
- watch Tb-planning
- What is considered secret from the summit ?
- EG staff status
- What do we need to be Open , right now we seems to be very closed
- to a significant extend, we don't know for sure , and we don't know how will things will turn out
- for hr we are closed for the rest we think we are open
- Difficult to talk about the project when things are not known, so much uncertainty that it makes it difficult.
- everything that you found out is public.
- Staffing should be made public.
- Mozilla will provide the staff for 2 release a year
- Maildir should do a mid-release, eg Adress Book would work too
- try to have it has an add-on
- try to push it this way that would be one more option to the release options
- would be if it would give us more testing of the features than earlybird and beta
- some addons would need hooks so it couldn't work that way.
- if possible Ireving thinks it's agood idea.
- Landing an addon in core is sometime difficult
