B2G Weekly Meeting


  • Date: 2016-05-03
  • Host: Ben Francis
  • Notes copied to the wiki each week B2G/Meeting
  • Meeting time: Tuesday, 9am Pacific

Announcements

  • Fennec has moved to a C++11 standard library and Mac will be doing so shortly. We're going to need to replace STL with another library in B2G in order for things not to break. See bug 1229391.
  • Mozilla can continue to provide B2G infrastructure but not necessarily the staff to keep it running. May want a separate instance of certain tools.
  • More meetings this week, see the public fxos calendar

Porting

Infrastructure

  • Nothing on the volunteer side, see line 10 for update \o/

Documentation

  • Going on, slowed by lack of administrators rights on MDN

Governance

  • Too few people involved for now to need a more structured way to deal with governance than the (legacy) module ownership system.
  • We'll reconsider the question of a governance structure in 3 weeks.
  • In the meantime, governance related questions are welcome to be asked at the B2G weekly meeting B2G/Meeting, and modules will be created for the non-technical working groups.

Communications

Round Table
