* Milestone 9
** http://i.imgur.com/GTN7EDA.gif
* Perf regression and other landing blockers
** bug 880611 (ts_paint regression)
** bug 902024 (TART regression)
*** Met with gfx/layout team. Mostly an update to help everyone on the team understand what's generally going on with TART/Australis. Gfx in particular is highly resource-constrained in the short term due to B2G 1.2 blockers.
*** New bugs filed for Firefox and Platform. No silver bullets
**** going to try svg background images instead of clip-path again (especially with SVG caching). Jeff believes this will be faster than teh clip-path but there is also a bug to optimize clip-paths
*** SVG Caching won't help current Australis since we don't use SVG for images
**** Linux Glyphs?!(?)(!)
*** We're going to do a more throrough bisection of UX and m-c nightlies
*** vladan figured out the XP pseudo-stack issue and has a workaround
** ts/tpaint data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asj8iLTl0K0UdDcxemJEWVVXWTlKek1wR09iS2FsOXc
** tart data: https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asj8iLTl0K0UdGJzVnVYYkJTSDREbndRWWFTLWNyS1E
* Bug tracking (9/5 to 9/12)
** Major bugs fixed:
*** Bug 913972 - Overflowable toolbar can reorder contents, change currentSet value incorrectly.
*** Bug 879863 - Animate the buttons in the menu panel when customizing.
*** (not fixed yet, but close) Bug 885086 - Overflow panel looks kinda wild when wide items get in there.
** P1: +2 (bug 914617 - cache for clip-path, bug 874674 - toolbar icons for linux)
** P2: -3
** P3: -2
** P4: +0
** P5: +1
** Firefox team coordination:
*** Bug 868640 - Implement private browsing indicator for when the menubar is hidden
**** No visible progress, needed for landing
***** dao is on it, has some concerns about proposals and will comment.
** Cross-team coordination:
*** UX
**** Bug 892076 - Use finalized assets for customize and help button in Panel UI
***** Stephen just uploaded icons. Jared will put together a patch for it.
**** Bug 874674 - Clean up menu panel icons for Linux GTK theme
***** Can we just use one of the Windows icon sprites here until we have the Linux one? This way the linux one will just be an image swap?
****** [shorlander] (Sure) (SVG?)
****** [dolske] Strongly prefer to avoid SVG due to perf, unknown risk, and difference with other platforms.
*** Gfx
**** Any update from BenWa about possibility to fix another Australis-related bug?
***** No, currently still in an investigation phase, and don't have specific "bug X is Y% of regression" info yet.
* Roundtable
** [dolske] Cherrypicking bugs for landing. Current prioritization is using _shipping_ criteria, we should take a look to see what things should be done sooner (pre-landing) because they're high-visibility or annoyances (or whatever), even if it would be otherwise fine to fix after landing.
*** Assign bugs to [Australis:M9] if they should be fixed before landing e.g. for good first impressions on m-c Nightly or major breaking changes
** [mconley] What should we do about the Mozilla Summit? We've gotta strut our stuff there - we're the big playa'.
*** Yes, I was thinking this, too. Maybe a good idea would be to use an open session and have UX present stuff using the live browser? I think that might help create more understanding of what the goals are and what we're hoping to achieve (and what we're not hoping to achieve).
*** you should get leadership on stage to ask everyone to test UX branch and file bugs from the keynote, then hold a QA / testathon on Sunday afternoon or something - it's a great opportunity to get contributors as testers ( $0.02, JeffG )
*** I think we can have a fair booth even if we have a talk so people can play with it with us
*** The UX team has a booth and can showcase Australis prototype or mock-ups ++
* Action Items (Last Week)
**
* Action Items (New)
** [shorlander] Do a blog post about upcoming Linux icon changes (screenshots, background of why, and any SVG fanboy stuff he wants to add ;)
** Matt will request fair booth for Brussels.
*** Will figure out booths for other cities
** Matt will figure out what other Summit sessions types we can have
