Project Status Updates (voice updates)

Firefox Desktop

Speaker Location: toronto (johnath)

• Experimentation!
  • Install
  • Search
  • Translation
  • New tab improvements

Firefox Mobile

Speaker Location: remote (mfinkle)

• Turning off 2.2 tests soon
  • Some tests still don't run on 2.3, so we're going to loose 2.x test coverage for those. Beware and hand test relevant bits.
  • Partly to improve our test infra
  • Partly to begin EOL on Froyo
• UI Telemetry
  • Check out the basic UI Telemetry dashboard
  • We are moving into the interpretation phase and should be filing bugs for any actionable issues we discover
• Firefox Search

  • Project page has more details
• Firefox crashes on startup in the Android L Preview
  • Known; Bug filed

Firefox OS

Speaker Location:

• Flame Programs - Asa Dotzler, Mountain View

Foxtrot (panel of Flame users who agree to help test and give directed feedback to the Product, UX, and QA teams) applications did not open last week as announced. We are working on the application form this week. Will announce as soon as its live. Flame retail site is live again. Phones arrive from manufacturer to retail for distribution on July 10. Shipping is 3-7 business days. So, first retail Flames will land on our community in approximately 2 weeks. If you've already got a Flame (from the pre-retail batch of 2000) and you are planning on sticking with the release channel and getting OTA updates, you'll need to flash a new Firefox OS v1.3 (build 122) If you're an employee, you can get this build today (see Asa) and if you're a volunteer, we'll have that build posted at our partner's ASAP. It has been determined that we will not push 1.4 to the Flame. The first major OTA update for Flame will take users from Firefox OS 1.3 to Firefox OS 2.0. More details at our new wiki > https://wiki.mozilla.org/FirefoxOS/Flame# and hang out in IRC at #flame

Tablet Contribution Program We've shipped out about 50% of the 10" tablets and continue to deliver. Email going out this week to let those participants who have not received a tablet know that it's on the way. Last week we held the first of our new weekly meetings with Taipei Stream 3 team, Asa Dotzler, and several of the volunteer TCP coordinators. We have nightly builds. The TCP coordinators are testing now and we'll post more publicly this week.
