[liz] Crashes from RC2 (56.0 build 4) release on monday: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?build_id=20170922200134&product=Firefox&version=56.0b99&date=%3E%3D2017-09-24T19%3A55%3A21.000Z&_sort=-date&_facets=signature&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#facet-signature

  • Looks decent, not a lot of results, but OOM is on top, which means our top crashers from RC1 are probably fixed!

RelEng

I'm not sure if this can all be handled in the channel meeting or if we should setup a separate meeting with releng/relman

comms:

   * re: marking what are the communication channels with Marketing. How can we know ahead of time for hard deadlines?


Questions for 56.0 release:

  • what build will be released - firefox 56.0 build5 now build6 apparently (from status of the 56 release: At risk email thread)
  • what's the expected timeframe for release? (e.g. Hour/minute/ if day is still unknown)
  • what's the hard-deadline (e.g. 6:00 AM PST like last time?) - from above 9am PT
  • what's the throttle rate we're aiming in the first place
  • do we throttle back to 0% after 24h or have a different approach this time - we need specifics
    • (from status of the 56 release: At risk email thread) Because we never had a chance to ship that to beta, we may want to throttle that release more conservatively in the first few hours, then ramp up the update rate quickly (within 6 hours) to the usual release day rate, 25%, until Friday.
  • liz - 10% for 4-6 hours, then up to 25%

future planning: also would be good to know release dates and times for the other five releases in flight RELEASE IN FLIGHT: fennec 56.0 build1 2017-09-22 - thursday same as desktop RELEASE IN FLIGHT: firefox 52.4.0esr build2 2017-09-18 - from above push to mirrors tomorrow RELEASE IN FLIGHT: fennec 57.0b3 build1 2017-09-26 - Tuesday
