* Creating milestones for B2G OS https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/creating-milestones-for-b2g/10718 this is just a draft. How and where do we create the programers-palace? :-)

== Status Updates ==

=== Smartphone ===

=== Smart TV ===

=== Code ===
* What about the lockscreen bug?
** sizvix said that it seems because it takes the landscape width and not the portait width. ** this.handle.radius is wrong in portait mode in lockscreen_slide.js
** Simon is working o this: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/about-the-lockscreen-bug/10804

* If people want to test Alastair's proposed fix for the soft home button, it is here: https://github.com/asppsa/gaia/tree/bug-123472
** please make a PR and create attachment on the bug Already done +1
** https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283799

* App porting status
** Camera
*** I'm trying to fix it, but I have very limited time right now (Jovan)
** Clock
*** albertopq not actively working but happy to help, contact him on Discourse
*** update github pages
*** fix the alarm API, write an addon
** SMS app
*** m.ducorps is resuming his work on the app this week. He had been busy ( now checking what's happen this last two months should be able to start working on it by the end of the week)
*** maybe he could file some bugs ( ok will work on it )
** Cost control
*** bluemini has started some work but is not able to continue at the moment. He can provide an inittial guidance for whoever would like to help, contact him on Discourse
*** maybe he can push his work in github
** Gallery

** FM radio

* What are the problems to fix with Gecko right now?
** debug builds are broken - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1295011
** permission popups do not work
** camera API broken

=== Porting ===

* Nexus 4 build ready https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/nexus-4-builds/10783 (thanks to Alastair!)
** is on b2g-installer?
** No, there will need to be a PR to the installer to make it look in my s3 if we want that, I think. Apparently there is no prospect of getting Nexus 4 builds on Taskcluster again.
* Fairphone blobfree build work is ongoing (thanks to Novski!)
* Xperia E3 (flamingo) build succeedes. Builds are now being produced with some regularity (weekly, as long as I can). Not added to the installer add-on yet (that's important)! (thanks to Enrico!)

=== Infrastructure ===

=== Documentation ===

* B2G old Architecture page call back https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/b2g-os-architecture-page/10787

* MDN Structure reorganization proposal by Novski (https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/mdn-for-b2g/10814/2)

* Novski deleted the wrong and anyway double information about how to bulild on https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G/blob/master/README.md and updated it with Telegram and MDN links

* Novski contacted chris mills to get B2G instead of Firefox OS in to the Header of some Languages on MDN Headers. It seams to be broken https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1300708

=== Governance ===

* introduced a loomio decisions making place. https://www.loomio.org/g/WencE2Du/b2gos
** maybe people should check it out and tell what they think about it
** krz37 will make a post on discourse

=== Communications ===
* Telegram now has a bot that connects IRC #B2G in both directions -> right now we give it a try and see if this works for everyone

=== QA ===
* havent gotten much time to talk to the slenium people to figure out solution for chrome://
* I am going to start working on generating new test cases for currently working components
* where should i be hosting the test cases?
** does github work for that?
* i need a list of components to generate test cases for
** lockscreen
** launch an app / browser in general
* if people reach out trying to get involved in QA have them shoot me an email jamie@mozillausa.org
** Discourse section ?
** also if someone could shoot me the answers to these questions at the same email address it would be great!
** but we should communicate this somewhere open :-)
** i might file a bug report to track components as they are ready for testing/completion as a qa tracker

== Round Table ==
* No activity in gaia repo since a month. What about gecko ?
** Gecko has had fixes on build breakers by Alexandre
* Using https://vroom.im for conference instead of vidyo ( should be tested before switching )
** Who would like to test it?
*** try to use vroom.im and do a test run next week -> communicate discourse, mailing list, IRC
*** krz37 will do that
*** Skype is working well today (FYI) with Vidyo -- only audio so it is a good backup but maybe not the main channel
* Adding Sony's AOSP devices to installer add-on. It shouldn't be that difficult because Sony itself provides the binaries. Benefit: it would work for many devices. +1
** obstacles are downloading blobs and agreeing to licenses -> these parts need to be implemented
* Jovan will host meetings for now, if anyone else is interested to host, feel free to say so.
