+* KILLER GOOD NEWS:  Out of Process Plugins has landed on Mozilla Central.  However, there are two things broken: TP4 Hang and x86-64 is red.  The tree will probably need to stay closed until we get it sorted out. Stay tuned, because, this is exciting stuff!
+* In today's [https://wiki.mozilla.org/CrashKill CrashKill] meeting, we'll be taking a look at the crash numbers to see where we stand.  It takes several days for numbers to become somewhat stable after a beta release.  Join us for the results.
+* And, of course, we're wrapping up the blockers below.
