Meeting Notes

Multi-lingual web conference
- Interesting conference with diverse crowd from browser people, linguistic folks, machine translation, natural language processing, and more!
- Ping Axel for more details

Shipping app feedback (cont.)
- Approval stuff is still not super-slick, but Axel can hack around it
- Tool chain for doing initial review of sign-offs
  - Right now, need to look at diffs from last sign-off to next sign-off to catch parsing errors
  - Need to do things like check l10n-src-verification
  - Lots of local checks for Axel in place, but all undocumented
  - Seems like we need to highlight the list of dependencies that are not picked up by compare-locales, green dashboards, or other stuff (i.e. list.txt, p12n breaks, etc.)
  - Need easier way to generate change sets
Beta builds for Fennec
- Do we need to stop and respin due to some broken builds like German? Axel makes the call.
Kitsune
- Complete re-write
- Two weeks will be feature complete
- Ship on November 30
