** Waiting on Nick Thomas to get Nightly builds for Holly.
** jaws and mconley were working with RyanVM today to get a merge from mozilla-central up and running. Hit a few snags, but moving forward - we think we'll have the merge done later today after the meeting.

** Distributing watching for unmarked Australis bugs? (Yes, we should.)
*** late USA timezone, Europe timezone
*** one team focusing on Firefox:Untriaged
*** one team focusing on Firefox:Toolbars & Customization, Fx:Themes, Fx:General
* Onboarding
** Dev. progress is continuing. MattN's been productizing patches from last week.
** The team is making a schedule to target mid-early January for mozilla.org + product changes. This will be discussed more at the weekly sync-up later today.
** If you havn't seen, there's a blog post with video demo: https://blog.mozilla.org/verdi/344/building-a-new-firefox-update-experience/
* Measuring
** [mconley] Waiting for liuche to finish UiTelemetry.jsm module - should be done by end of week.
** [mconley] I've got a patch for UiTelemetry.jsm that allows us to feed simple measures (like toolbar data) into a TelemetryPing.
** [mconley] I've got the beginnings of a ToolbarUiTelemetry.jsm module (name is tentative) just for recording toolbar events / counts.
* Performance
** [mconley] I've got the first part of a "Australis Performance Post-mortem" blog post series written. I haven't published it yet, but I'm interested in getting feedback on it - let me know if you want to give it a read.
*** [jaws] I'll give it a read
*** [MattN] I'll give it a read
*** [MattN] I also plan on blogging about perf. (tooling primarily)
** [mconley] Smoothing the customize mode transition is still on hold while I get this measurement stuff set up. If somebody wants to take over that work, that's fine, but otherwise I'll get back to this soon.
* Roundtable
** What should we do with the UX branch?
*** People will leave for regular Nightly if we aren't giving them nightly updates. Can I at least continue to merge m-c there? (then re-doing the branding)
**** Did the branding actually get backed out on the ux branch? I don't think it did - but once you merge m-c, you'll merge the branding backout, so watch out for that. :-) That's what I meant
***** Should UX branch be reset to m-c tip and then have the branding change reapplied?
****** It should work out about the same and not resetting is easier/faster
******* yeah that's true
** Initial feedback discussion
*** [madhava] some places we're tracking things:
**** https://firefox-ux.etherpad.mozilla.org/Australis-finalpass
**** how to answer questions: https://firefox-ux.etherpad.mozilla.org/AustralisFAQ
*** Early Input feedback: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/?product=Firefox&version=28.0.0
**** Interesting, the sad:happy ratio seems to he staying roughly the same
**** 27 seems to hover around 4 (daily comments about 10:2.5)
**** the two post-Australis points so far are ~5 (200:40) and ~4 (100:25)

* Action Items (Last Week)
** Gijs/we should have an add-on compat list ready
*** Will start in a wiki/etherpad and link folks so we can collaborate
**** https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/australis-add-on-compat-draft
**** jorgev and other add-on folks are sad I forgot to reach out to them, and unhappy with tone ("we broke x, y, z" rather than "look at our new awesome APIs and possibilities"). Will likely iterate as we go along.
** Gijs: Contact jetpack wrt uplift of fixes for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931092
*** Planned for today post-review and merge of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854226
** dolske: set up bug triage plans (bugrange/date) to make sure we're catching Australis bugs but not duplicating watching
* Action Items (New)
** MattN will merge m-c to UX and fix branding
