Minutes

Significant Updates

• AITC merged to Aurora!
  • doing triage
  • pointing to staging server for now
  • preffed off by default
  • need to circulate instructions about how to turn it on

• Status of WebRT on Aurora
  • need to do bug triage, scheduled for Wednesday
  • Jen to invite Lawrence to the mtg

• Basecamp Test Strategy update
  • includes testing various authentication methods

• bug 744451 and bug 742944 -- B2G support for window.open() likely to become basecamp testing blocker
• HSM migration underway
• AITC production servers are ready, client just needs to change pref from staging to production servers (and might need to restart production [something])

Questions and Concerns

• Q1: which API's mapped in the permissions model are applicable to WebRT Desktop?
  • Jonas: most of them; we don't have Trusted Apps implemented anywhere
  • Jonas: some API's not supported on desktop devices (orientation?)

• Q2: what are the plans for the HTML webapps implementation?
  • we need to decide whether we will accept contributions in this area or reject them

• Q3: What are the next steps for Fennec?
  • many bugs marked as Wanted
  • baseline features include installation and chromeless launch

• Q4: what is the process for changing the navigator.mozApps API?
  • Q: who owns WebAPIs?
  • Jonas: DOM module owner is the closest thing we have;
  • Myk: WebAPIs must get an owner

• Q5: what's next for Desktop WebRT?
  • still landing blockers, P1, P2
  • native menus, [something]
  • but discovery is more important, having ongoing discussions with UX
  • we also have to sort out Marketplace mode
  • integrating apps management into Firefox, AITC
  • a bunch of stuff we've already identified
  • it all depends on having the baseline runtime done and landed, which it doesn't sound like we have yet

Actions

• Unknown to write up instructions about how to enable AITC in FF15
• Everyone to acknowledge Macro's efforts!!
• Lucas to share Web API chart
• Ragavan/Jen to decide whether to accept contributions for HTML5 shim or reject them
• Myk to propose WebAPIs ownership model
