Porting


Infrastructure

Documentation

  • @kskarthik reported that B2G OS MDN doc restructuring is done
  • Unnecessary docs are moved to archive - a link to the archive was added to the main page
  • A new page to list supported devices has been added (linking to discourse post for the moment) - special page for each device support status still need to be created

Governance

Proposals still ongoing in the discourse topic: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/governance-working-group/8177/47

  • @Luca and @Thatoo are exploring different Decision Making Software, explaining pros and cons.

Communications


Round Table

Gaia Build System

  • For web apps, what do we need to build system to do? How can we deploy them to a web server and populate them as a default pinned site rather than package them up?
  • Should system chrome be moved out of the apps folder or eventually out of Gaia entirely, into /b2g/chrome/ on mozilla-central?
  • http://benfrancis.github.io/gaia/
  • Need to review all shared libraries and decide what to share on the web

Web Components

  • Platform support isn't ready. Shall we put webcomponents.js shim in shared/ for web apps (e.g. Clock)?
  • Is it OK to directly link to ../../shared/ for now for web apps?

It starts to be a right time to begin translation work (at least for doc - later for manifesto, call for contributors, communication papers)

  • Should we make a special group for that, or integrate it in doc/communication meetings ? (both ? :-/)
  • Yes for documentation, maybe early for the rest

Mozilla-Central/Mozilla-Inbound builds broken : bug 1270879

  • Could be because of STL change?
