Agenda

Discuss Q3 goal updates per team:

• Client integration (Mossop/rhelmer)
  • architecture is looking good, discussed with bsmedberg, but ready to get started with actual development now, no blockers
  • need a definition for an addon that is one you don;t need to uninstall (already in the client plan and already handled in the addons manager)
• Build pipeline (mrrrgn is out, no updates)
• Test automation (mbrandt or jgriffin)
  • no news, holding pattern
• IdeaTown (nchapman/jgruen)
  • focused on getting the teaser site out to collect interest, meeting with marketing to determine the plan (light social media?)
  • new team members Dave Justice plus all the universal search folks - planning to divvy up work and move fast.
  • Are private AMO addons in the cards? Yes, that's what we're shooting for.
• Updates (tarek)
  • making progress with the balrog integration
  • some PTO slowing things down on the client side
  • working with rnewman on setting the security updates to be the same on fennec, and adding in the dictionary work as well.

  • we have a set of stuff to exercise the things we need to do in an etherpad: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/go-faster-fennec
  • it's a long road, but we're walking.
• l10n *axel)
  • need a separate meeting to discuss l10n requirements doc, if you want to be included in that meeting (this week) add your name to the etherpad here: larissa, laura, axel, rnewman, rhelmer, who else?
  • tldr; when it comes to localization, its less of a data problem and more of an API problem.

(happening this week because of PTO last week)

• • Everyone to remember that if press asks you about Go Faster or Idea Town you refer them to Alex Shapiro
