SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: August 25, 2009, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes?

Action Items

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

NEW

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

• File bug on target milestone and flags for 2.1a1 [KaiRo]. Filed and already fixed as bug 512086 together with the 1.1.19 flags/keyword.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2

open blockers (4) blocker requests (0)

• IanN has started triaging nominations, KaiRo finished them!
• Code freeze: September 1 - string freeze August 27 (both 23:59 Pacific)
• Targeted ship date: September 8 (Firefox 3.0.14/3.5.3 are targeted Sep 9)
  • 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 is the big missing feature.
  • Should be in final review stages, biggest part is probably IanN's review.
• The API changes of bug 474701 would be nice to get, Lightning uses some part of it, filed bug 509324 for that.
• This is our last beta, and that means that September 1st is also feature freeze for the 2.0 series! Exceptions will only be granted in rare and really-high-value cases.
• Current blockers: status?

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (4) blocker requests (36) open wanted (18) wanted requests (31)

• IanN will start triaging blocker and wanted requests.
• Target schedule: Freeze October 6, ship mid-October?
  • Thunderbird is expecting RC1 freeze on 3rd November but string freeze also on October 6 or so.
  • Freeze on October 6th 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.
