* GIF du jour: http://i.imgur.com/Lcr9e.gif
* Backout branch status
** Merging in from mozilla-aurora now. Seems to be going smoothly so far.
** [MattN] Does the lack of an australis hook on m-c mean that people are free to land non-Australis changes which may conflict with Australis uplifts to Aurora?
*** We should still be avoiding changes that will cause conflicts.
* Onboarding
** The tour will go live with the first Aurora 29 release.
** Please give it a try in today's nightly with https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0a2/whatsnew/ and file bugs blocking bug 862998.
*** Existing bugs are at https://people.mozilla.org/~mnoorenberghe/australis/?list=UITour&resolved=0&meta=0&mMinus=0
*** 966933 add link in help menu
* Misc. Australis bugfixing
** Bug 873060 - [meta] Make entering and exiting customization mode feel smooth
*** Bug 963999 - Difference between customize-entering and customize-entered states is too drastic
**** First patch of several - still needs some polish, but should make the ka-thunk at the end of the transition a lot smoother for OS X.
***** .... why are we still focusing on OS X? shouldn't we be looking at Windows first?
****** We were focusing on OS X because that's where the performance was the absolute worst. Now focusing on Windows (see bug 962657 below)
****** Won't this benefit Windows too anyway?
******* Also, my original question was because the above summary specifically calls out OS X.
******** This is where the ka-thunk is the worst, which is why I called it out.
******* It should, yes, but people should be focusing on making sure that Windows has the best perf since it has ALL the users
*** Bug 967220 - If about:customizing is the first tab, the tabstrip looks detached from the nav-bar
**** Not animating the tab strip only bought us a little - it was not animating the whole content-deck that seems to have bought us the big perf win with bug 962677. I think we should animate the tab strip again
***** Seconded [Gijs]
*** Bug 967186 - Update CART test to monitor content-deck for customize mode transition signals
**** Waiting on feedback from avih.
*** Bug 962657 - Reduce reflows in customization-panelHolder during customize mode transition
**** Reflow profiles suggest solving this will be the big win on Windows. Digging into XUL layout stuff (have also asked Enn and dholbert for assistance).
* Bug tracking (since last meeting)
** https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiPXmmKgSs8udHgzcEhqd0tkTXlJRU8zcXFzMEhneHc
** Bugs fixed within the last week: http://mzl.la/1cmOKRe
*** Gijs is totally killing it.
**** Seconded [jaws]
**** \o/ [madhava]
** [new] Graph of bugs fixed over time (now date adjustable!): http://people.mozilla.org/~jwein/australis/bug-tracking.html
*** ^-- this is broken for me (mconley) - "Request Timed Out"
**** Do you have click-to-play enabled? It uses Flash
*** Screenshot for those who can't get it to load, http://content.screencast.com/users/j.wein/folders/Jing/media/05af4cb1-d1c9-41d4-97ec-52509e607d3e/2014-02-06_1359.png
** [new] Bugs needing uplift to aurora: http://mzl.la/1brExqu
*** Please help keep an eye on these; unless they're very invasive and/or involve strings, we should ensure all the Australis fixes end up on Aurora.
** P1: +2
*** ts_paint. :-( --> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=967766 -- it seems this isn't my fault, but it might be sync related? Still being investigated. Pretty bad regression, shouldn't ship this (or at least not without understanding it)
** P2: +0
*** madhava +4ed this and -4ed the P3s - sorry - just some hygiene
** P3: +1
** P4: +9
** P5: +3
** oth: +3
* Action Items (Last Week)
** [dolske] Aurora approvals
** [jaws] Need to figure out what to do with Holly users when Holly transitions to being based on mozilla-aurora. Might be able to just move those installations to be based off of Aurora, would we need to let the users know? We also should figure out what to do with Holly when it gets abandoned. Might be able to use the Nightly update in-product page.
*** Number of holly users? About 150 daily users on holly.
**** Current plan is to "do nothing". May land a simple patch that shows an alert dialog saying that this is no longer a supported channel and directing users to use Nightly or Aurora (show an alert dialog, and set a pref so it doesn't show again).
* Roundtable
** Work week?
*** Candidate weeks: Last week of Februrary (24-28), maybe first week of March (3rd-7th).
* Action Items (New)
