Schedule

Next merge is 2012-08-27
Fx15b4 needs to be spun
Fx14.0.2 will be advertised to Jelly Bean users only

Major Topics for This Week

Target String Freeze for Fx16: We need to audit the list of potential uplifts to Aurora for string related changes. The big areas are Feedback Solicitation, WebAppRT and Reader. We want to take control and start limiting strings changes. [Worth repeating from last week]
Mobile Planning & Work Week: Next week the Mozilla Mobile team (and others) will be meeting at Mozilla Boston to brainstorm and plan future work. We will also be hosting a "Games & Add-on Hack Day" on Thursday.
Call to Action: Take some time and try out the WebApp and Reader functionality. We need more user testing on these features before moving to the Beta audience.
