Any hot items, red flags of important topics to discuss for 23 (beta), 24 (aurora) or 25 (nightly)?

Dynamic snippets - moving to On Deck due to rescoped direction (and will await an appropriate release vehicle / timing from engineering) and will need to be renamed to better reflect what we're doing
- mitigation = hard-coded promos (contingency only)
- add-ons can add a page to about:home
- add-ons can add a tile to designated space to about:home (this is the traditional 'dynamic snippet' approach) -> partner would create an add-on so that the add-on
  - control: block list? tile rotation for the add-on rotation?
dynamic toolbar - keep eyes open for any issues
about:home redesign 'at risk' for fx 25 due to amount of work for ensuring designs for both tablets and phones are launched at the same time

QA
- Softvision received a ZTE device
- Can we get them to also order a tablet once commercially released
- Erin had placed orders based on her etherpad list, although devices are still 'on order'
- HW coverage seems adequate
- Kevin or Aaron will be able to run those graphics tests locally (but automatically) on a machine and we all feel confident that running these tests in this manner will suffice for release
  - Timing for running these tests dependent on receipt of hw
  - UPDATE: a-team may be able to stand up a solution so that Kevin / Aaron don't need to run these - woohoo!
RelMan
- Nothing outstanding
RelEng (inc a-team requirements)
- RelEng task to run tests 'by hand'
- ultimately need automation stood up for x86 at some point, but not a hard requirement before first going to GA
