General Platform

Geolocation Working Group

• Google submitted a specification to the geo working group for acceleration and orientation events. It looks good. They will implement it in the android browser.

Camera

• OMG we have an intern.
• khuey has started on investigating the Camera work in progress and related specs.
• Meeting tomorrow to discuss details.

Content

• Like the content sink preference we messed around with for 1.0, we might be able to get a bit more responsiveness in e10 by changing some knobs. No one currently signed up for this task yet, but getting someone talking to jonas and writing code and measuring could make page load interaction alot better (but probably not much faster).

Release Engineering

• Using custom NDK. Is license compatible? (bear)
