Product Status Updates
Firefox 4
We Shipped Beta 7
- ... and it's awesome!
- Next up: Beta 8!
- Schedule will be quicker for these ones, they aren't landmark releases the way beta 7 was, they are incremental progressions as we clamp down blockers
- If you can't come up with a good reason why a bug should go into beta 8 instead of beta 9 → not a beta 8 blocker
- Beta 8 schedule will be discussed in tomorrow's development call and wednesday's product call, each at 11am PST.
- Schedule will be quicker for these ones, they aren't landmark releases the way beta 7 was, they are incremental progressions as we clamp down blockers

Speakers
The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
| Title | Presenter | Topic | Media | More Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your Title Here | Your Name Here | What are you going to talk about? | Links to slides or images you want displayed on screen | Link to where audience can find out more information |
| Tracking Polish Bugs in Firefox 4 | Alex Faaborg | Now that all of the major features have landed for Firefox 4, we are shifting our focus towards small polish bugs. We want Firefox 4 to looks and feel like a finely crafted product. | Main Window | Learn more about Atul's buzilla.js which was used to provide the live data in these mockups. Also thanks go to Gerv for building the API we're accessing! |
