Bon Echo Alpha 3

• shipped on time (yay!)
  • significant thanks to teams who worked on SafeBrowsing, NSIS, DOMStorage and all the other little fixes, as well as to QA/build who stayed late on Friday to help finish the release
• waiting for preed before we ship the AUS bits (should we announce that?)
• JS 1.7 missed this release, shaver & brendan both think that if we get it in early and baking it could go with beta 1, need new target date for this
• bug 337311 deferred to beta 1, but we think it's fixed and just needs to be verified/closed by BZ

Bon Echo Beta 1

• here's the list of blocking?/+ for beta 1 (at 9am EDT, 118 bugs found)
  • owners of those bugs need to add [swag: ?d] so we can identify long poles and schedule landings for beta 1 so we don't have a bunch at the same time
  • mconnor: the idea here is to get a sense of whether or not an individual is overloaded, and ensuring that our estimates are correct
  • jhughes: I can be a point of contact on that for the Google team
  • schrep: does that mean you'll also be able to identify long-poles? and should we get together to re-evaluate?
  • mconnor: if we get the SWAGs by EOD Wednesday, I can run the stats and send out mail if there are problems and we can meet.
  • todo: jhughes, mconnor to whip for SWAGs, mconnor to run stats
  • axel: what about review time?
  • mconnor: I've offloaded bugs to increase my bandwidth for reviews

• current target dates:
  • June 15th: major string changes in for l10n to start
  • June 29th: Beta 1 Code Freeze (QA begins)
  • July 6th : Beta 1 Ship
  • an ICS schedule is available

• what's the best process for approvals? daily triage?
  • bsmedberg: rules for checkin or triage?
  • mconnor: both, we'd triage and do branch approvals only; I'd suggest we do that at the time of string freeze
  • schrep: that sounds reasonable

• schrep: what's the criteria for release?
  • mconnor: the blocker list seems to be pretty real, and I'm working through the nominations right now. if people want to review the noms (?/+/-) they should do so in advance of the next meeting.
