Discussion Items

• [Florin] Desktop General status:
  • major focus on signing off on 37 RC and 31 ESR build(s)
  • e10s regression work still postponed

• [Florin] People moving under various projects - how can we stay up-to-date with what features people are testing? Maybe add them to this etherpad?
  • e.g. Kamil stated yesterday on IRC that he now works on meta referrer,possibly Pass Manager, and helping Matt with Tracking Protection. We at Softvision were not aware of this, and we may duplicate the work we do testing the features.
  • Softvision team feature ownership - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rn-F3Kg_1_VznIxxXkAGGL8mVMSAdamZZI4f1O2r8HA/edit?pli=1#gid=489923013

  • Security Access https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1146339
  • Appthwack is currently running

• [Ioana] Community
  • Are we under Marcia's new role or ..? Is anyone else in contact with the Participation team?
  • Are we ok with having dev-quality promoted?

• [Lawrence] There is a potential that we will need a Desktop 37 RC2. We need to see what happens with the stability of 37 RC and there are a couple of additional bugs we may need to take.

• Stability is still worse than hoped, will need RC data to make assessments.
  • We needed to remove the perf fix for 4k (and other video) for stability concerns, hope to fix this up for 38.
