===Aurora meeting schedule===
===Aurora meeting schedule===
* No changes. Meetings will be at 2:00pm PDT on Tues and Thurs.
* A decision was made to keep the current meeting time for now - 2:00pm PDT on Tues and Thurs.
* We understand that many will not be able to accommodate this time - still concerns here. We are not the only team finding it difficult to schedule in that key time frame of 10:00am-12:00pm PST.
* This might be an issue to discuss at a forum in the future.

* Proposal: The security team will be responsible for triaging all tracking? and tracking+ *security* bugs and monitoring their progress.  
* In some cases the security team may go ahead and simply set tracking+ without even nominating it.
** In some cases the security team may go ahead and simply set tracking+ for *security* bugs bypassing the nomination.
* This triage along with monitoring the progress will happen during the weekly critsmash meeting.

* The current plan is to install on top of. Some developers might want to install multiple versions and test their sites. Our plan will break that.
* Work in progress.
* Rob Strong is going to send Jay an email to prep him on the issue. He will talk to Jay on Monday when he gets back from China. By Tues, we should be able to confirm the decision.
* Probably need to have someone in product as part of these regular meetings - not the first issue that has come up.
