   If you need an unagi device, see Tony
   Fennec (Kevin/Aaron) 
    Stability (nhirata) 
   Things calmed down after the merge and fixes that occurred afterwards.  For graph see platform notes
   Product Announcements (tracy)
   Dev admin page is avalable but staging servers won't be ready 'til tomorrow (Thursday). rnewman provided a testing extension to change a few hard coded prefs to make testing possible.
   Once servers are ready, I'll begin testing this feature end to end as I have access to the CAP (campaign admin page) to send messages at will.
   B2G (Geo/jhammink) 
   Stability (nhirata)
   still need some things fixed for Stability: ADU etc. see bug 761905 for remaining work to be done
   Doc on how to connect Unagi using B2G created

   New Usecases report - https://www.dropbox.com/s/9s155c3qm6rk0l7/b2g_untested_usecases_report.pdf
   NH: This report is great.  Having said that, the reason why some of these are blank is because there were some unanswered comments, and looking at the status they are still unanswered.  These use case doesn't satisfy what's in the spec nor what is implemented.  Trying to get buy in from the PMs about this, however I am not having any luck.
   Triaging existing mochitests for inclusion on TBPL. Have found a number of layout tests we can include, a few tests from other areas.
   Working on a semi-automated way to do this test triage, as manual triage is very slow.
   Permissions testing coming together, nearing completion on all three suites as defined at https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/QA/API_Permissions_Test_Plan
   Working with A-Team and B2G dev to get permissions handling for functional tests centralized in the framework so we don't get overly derailed by dependency breakage.
   Moztrap Testcases - currently QAnalyst are running testruns against the device and logging review data.   We'll have a pass at fixing these testcases - per review - during this and next week.

   Preloaded apps ramp-up and coordination with Karen
   More exploratory testing of the apps flows on device

   Q1 2013 "Team Event" has been approved (San Francisco, January 14th-18th); straw-man schedule up here: http://lanyrd.com/2013/mozilla-web-qa-q1-work-week/
   Affiliates 
   No updates
   B2G/Gaia testing: 
   Lots of work on stability/reliability in the last week, testing team can start looking at results and having confidence in them
   23 passing tests (including unit tests -- 14 without)
   ...out of 35
   Spreading into tests that send SMS and make calls - useful stuff for the team to have and getting closer to using the device in a 'real' scenario. (it's fun too!)
   Adding in about 1/2 dozen more tests every week but that will increase now we have good infrastructure and more contributors coming on board.
