Governance

Council meeting ?

Communications

  1. B2GOS (https://twitter.com/hashtag/B2GOS?src=hash ) is quite active to communicate about our goal

some talk about port on fairphone 2 -> definitely a good flagship :) post from official B2G account link to this video (13min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrcAPan028Y&feature=youtu.be (TEDx talk from a former Mozilla employee, talking about the issue of native apps)

  • A good one to explain our goal

(Italian) article and video to present B2G and how to use B2G installer: https://geekonerd.blogspot.nl/2016/07/e-la-tua-ultima-occasione-se-rinunci-non-ne-avrai-altre.html

  • Translations (to English,...) are welcome :)

QA

  • Major blocker on mozilla-central, all web permissions except full screen are broken. No permission prompt for e.g. geolocation and camera access. bug 1291466
  • Currently debug builds are broken (because creates a HTTP server and system UI is now chrome), thread on Discourse about test agent B2G/Meeting
  • Trying to get Marionette back up and running
  • Will need a new unit testing system
  • Need to try to keep code test friendly in the meantime


Round Table

Cyanogenmod base https://github.com/cm-b2g is broken, locales.xml no more needed & sync issues need to be fixed. Starting with the master branch

  • Need to update to CM 13 ? No, whole manifest needs a fix, sync fails.
  • Ask Alexandre Lissy what needs doing

Luca Working on documentation Trying to B2G OS compile for ZTE Open C Curious about localisation pipeline, does it still work?

  • Relied on Gaia build system which has seen a lot of changes
  • l10n should still work

krz37 Getting a better computer so hopefully building will be easier Then would like to help on apps Could we switch to a WebRTC based solution for meetings?

  • proposal: Jitsi Meet (www.meet.jit.si)

Open C - some contributors added an option to build directly for Open C without hacking a manifest
