* Doing an update that only updates channel prefs, moving 3.6.4 users on the release channel over to the beta channel. Going out now
* '''We think OOPP is ready''' - anyone disagree?
** New issues have slowed
** 522,309 build #6 users on Windows, still climbing. This is very good.
** QA worked through [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/video-sites this list of video and game sites] to make sure we have testing coverage on popular sites that use plugins. The list was crowdsourced after all call to create it on Twitter by beltzner
* Decided to keep 3.5.10 tied to 3.6.4 to make Linux vendor's lives easier
** Argument for decoupling decision was made based on potential issues, whereas the negative effects on Linux vendors are known and quantifiable
* Shipping schedule needs to be talked about
** Still investigating the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569104 Cnet bug] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562198 bug 562198]

* 1.9.2.5 was used by Fennec, so next platform version is 1.9.2.6. We will keep the version #'s coherent by naming it Firefox 3.6.6
* I will be moving the blocking flags and status flags as appropriate
* If you have approvals for 1.9.2.5 they are now for 1.9.2.6
* If we need a chemspill for 3.6.4, this will be off the 3.6.4 relbranch
* If no chemspill, planning early-to mid July, making sure to have this out before BlackHat in late July
* WebM discussion will likely happen shortly

*Should {{Bug|570774}} block the Alpha 5 release?
** don't think so, not even sure that it should block a beta - secondary UI on a single platform
** does look like there's a fix for this in {{bug|565392}}
*QA Testing Requirements for Alpha 5
** https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.7a5/Test_Plan#Focus_Areas
** Good number of changes have landed since Alpha 4. Would like to spend some more time with the builds in light of this fact.
** Getting builds tomorrow and and having 1/2 day to test might not be realistic.
** beltzner thinks that there might be some difference of opinion about required quality bar for developer previews
** beltzner and mevans to follow up offline and figure something out

All extensions that use XPCOM components (which is many of them) will need to be updated.
