Minutes

actions from previous meeting

gozala to create a branch containing only the loader in preparation for landing it in firefox

  • hasn't happened yet
  • gozala wants to move to packageless tree with only a lib/ directory first
  • currently loader doesn't support differentiation between core and third-party modules
  • changes that need to be made to loader: https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Linker
  • gozala wants to make those changes first before cutting branch and preparing for integration
  • likely to take a few weeks
  • seems like it won't be possible to land it in Firefox 14, but it will be possible to land it in Firefox 15
  • would be useful to have loader ready for landing by Firefox work week
  • gozala will try to make that happen but can't promise it because of other responsibilities

gozala to finalize proposal for a packageless sdk

DONE!

myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles for jetpack features

DONE!

mixedpuppy to point gozala at stuff labs projects do a lot with sdk

  • mixedpuppy is never certain he's using sandboxing correctly
  • being able to have a library that allows using a sandbox without being concerned about whether we're doing it correctly
  • -> gozala to create priority list of individual modules to land in Firefox by four weeks from today

mixedpuppy identify set of topics to speak about at mozcamp argentina

  • mixedpuppy identified three topics:
    • privacy issues
    • social API stuff being worked on now
    • WebIntents actions types of APIs
  • didn't plan anything around Jetpack, but others are doing so
  • Jorge, Hernan are doing addon talks, Hernan about Add-on SDK specifically and Jorge an overview of methodologies available for addon development
  • Hernan will be at one of the two MDN events in addition to mozcamp
  • entire Jetpack team will go to at least one mozcamp, mossop will provide team with list of events
  • entire Firefox team will do the same, still waiting on dates from mozcamp organizers

whatever else folks want to talk about

  • -> gozala and dietrich to meet re: what needs to be done to land loader
  • dietrich will point people at principles to explain value proposition
  • value proposition based on experience bundling test pilot
  • dietrich will meet with pdf.js folks re: the problems they've experienced (testing, l10n?)
  • those are folks without experience writing core code or addon code
  • but they don't necessarily need it to contribute to feature
  • would be great to enable people to contribute to features without understanding build infrastructure or even addon infrastructure
  • mixedpuppy will be entirely focused on figuring out rest of steps for landing amigo and share and otherwise distracted by two weeks in south america
