Events

Discussion Items

  • Org Proposal - Matt
  • (tchung) How to handle bugzilla tracking of fixed and verified bugs in rapid release branch? (aurora, beta)
    • one idea, is to get BMO to add "verified" to status-firefox-N flag
    • We can track them with status-firefox5=fixed and other bugzilla magic: See example: where bugs have been marked as fixed in firefox 5. (juanb)
    • another, use whiteboards (eg. [verified-in-beta])
