+= GFX =
+* OpenGL composited layers turned on by default on OS X.
+** Couple of regressions we know about:
+*** Some QuickDraw plugins don't draw. {{bug|583499}} This means Quicktime on 10.5. 10.6 is pretty much unaffected because most 10.6 machines will run Firefox in 64-bit mode, and we don't support QuickDraw in 64-bit mode.
+*** Subpixel AA doesn't work on certain pages - {{bug|582223}}.
+* We need to install resistor dongles on all our Snow Leopard boxes. {{bug|600899}}
+** Otherwise, when we ask CGL for an accelerated pixel format, it returns NULL.
 = Tree Management =
+* yesterdays downtime went fine
+** landed bunch of changes into production: details in {{bug|593081}}
+** moved another 86 machines to new colo during yesterday morning downtime, now >50% of machines in new colo.

-* Tomcat (away during the meeting) but please please help testing OpenGL on Mac Trunk Nightly's and give us feedback -> http://blog.mozilla.com/tomcat/2010/10/04/help-testing-opengl-on-trunk-nighty-builds/ - also sign up to the nightly testers list -> https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/nightly-testers - thanks!
+* [Beltzner] Potential strategies for Beta 7
+** Proposal A: Continue to Wait
+*** disable failing tests and merge GC Compartments to TM and m-c today or tomorrow, block on re-enabling failing tests
+*** gets us 40,000 nightly testers earlier, but scope of outstanding changes may negate that testing
+*** builds would not be until next Wednesday or Thursday
+*** would likely want to tag & branch for beta7 so tree could re-open
+*** Note: no nightlies on the beta7 RELBRANCH - only nightly testing would be on m-c
+** Proposal B: Ship B7 Without GC Compartments
+*** not sure how tied to JM correctness the work is
+**** Firebug and some other extensions would break, so we'd have to push out "extension-targeting freeze".
+*** would it invalidate feature/API freeze?
+*** could move to builds as early as this Wednesday
+*** means that GC Compartments lands with the other backlog of changes
+* [Tomcat|away during the meeting] Help testing OpenGL on Mac Trunk Nightly's and give us feedback
+** [http://blog.mozilla.com/tomcat/2010/10/04/help-testing-opengl-on-trunk-nighty-builds/ Tomcat's blog post on the topic]
+** also sign up to the [https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/nightly-testers nightly testers list]
+* (bsmedberg) Java signature dialog kicks in the hang detector - {{bug|555699}} - We currently can't fix this because the Java dialog occurs in yet another process. The options are
+*# ignore the problem, probably screw some corporate environments
+*# blacklist Java so it always runs in-process (stability and potential exploit surfaces get worse)
+*# wait for Oracle to respond
