Meeting Notes

  • Community Package: lot of content to live on community.moz.org to live on David Boswell's site, Gandalf will lead and has built a release schedule for launch about 4 weeks before end of Q3 (giving some time to push back if slips on deadline); second piece will be a website based on Drupal for localizers to use to manage their communities (Seth/Gandalf work on this)

• QA
  • Minotaur monitors unauthorized changes to web services and make sure correct changes are there, in addition by getting build infrastructure right can do other tests for better testing etc.
  • Minotaur and buildbot - discovered for Firefox 3.0.x branch that's still in CVS and a lot of build infrastructure needed to plug-in Minotaur is in patches, slated for review but not landed (Armen working on).
  • For 3.1 no infrastructure at all for Minotaur, Smedberg figure out how to put locale builds into HG (whether share or separate repositories); Ctalbert also found bugs that he will fix
  • Unified plan may be tough right now, so our options are to
    • get working on 3.0.x so we can show it's working and important
    • or take hit now and make sure it works on new hg source base

ACTION: (mic/axel) have a list of priorities worked out of what we think is most effective e.g., 3.1 builds, then 3.0 minotaur then 3.1 minotaur etc. ACTION: Mic invite build e.g., JO'Duinn and Ctalbert to August L10n-drivers meeting to discuss

• • Multi-lingual QA; very excited and supportive of this; good to go for trial with 3.0.x locales (fr, tomcat, pl, he, one of indic locales possibly)

ACTION: do survey at summit with localization teams on where they think testing coverage isn't great; add to Fx3 post mortem session ensure it gets 15 to 20 minutes on it's own for brainstorming ACTION: Mic check in with Asa on timing Tim+Chofmann lead

• Summit
  • start preparing your sessions and presentations, would suggest we do review in l10n-drivers
