*** 49 and growing, security blockers we need to fix.
*** Need to balance feature work and security efforts.
*** If you feel your feature blockers are interfering with security blockers, need to help find another resource and/or specify that you are going to delay the release.
*** Blocker security bugs have already been identified and you have at least a week to prepare for a week of security bug focus.
*** Basic definition of Push:  Damon communicates your bug status <i>ad nauseam</i>.
** A6 Security Push Week:  June 18-22.
** B1 Security Push Week:  July 2-6.
* Probably need to do the same for performance?
* Triage Proposed Changes:
** Move all triage meetings to a single day (monday?).
** Make each triage meeting consecutive by functional group (i.e., GFX, Layout, Content, etc.).
** Do not require everyone to attend everyone's triage sessions; however, one can sit through all of them if need be.
** This will set expectation that triage will be completed at least once a week and we don't reach a point again between now and b1 where we have 192 existing noms.
** damon, mconnor, schrep, and a few others will consider beginning daily triage sessions, as in Fx2.

* Planning a discussion on the future of the build system, having a concrete plan is a Q2 goal
* Moving forward on refplatform updates for Linux (CentOS5 matches the runtime requirements doc prepared by mconnor) and Windows (switch to VC8SP1 and MozillaBuild)
** some minor tinderbox script changes necessary to work with MozillaBuild (bug 383775)
* Had good discussion regarding build system futures, bsmedberg has yet to write up the blog post outlining the decisions and plans
* Ted and Aravind set up a symbol server for nightly builds... :-)
* If time, bsmedberg to investigate compiling with LLVM (they claim they can build Mozilla now, and others have claimed perf improvements)
* Breakpad can collect minidumps on Linux now, but there's not any uploading UI yet... we're probably going to have a libcurl dependency for that :-(
