==Schedule==
* Official "Go To" Beta is still May 17th.
* The code that's in Aurora on the 16th, will move to Beta and we will do a build from there.
* The merge happens and we have the choice at that time whether or not the update is put out for all the beta users or not.
* We have 6 bugs we are tracking and we will either get them resolved or decide they are not severe enough to block.
* Laura: When will people see this beta live? Probably a couple of days after we do the merge. We will want some time to test this.
* Christian will work with Laura offline to figure out time line - bugs will be logged for all the web pieces and everything that needs to happen when.
* Christian will also publish a detailed schedule of the merge timeline so that rel eng and marketing can plan accordingly.
==Beta user stats==
* According to crash stats, yesterday's volume on 5.0b1 was 37K.
* Over the weekend, getting about 11K hits on the first run page per day.
* Last Thurs/Fri, about 15K hits per day.
* John: We have been running with 50% throttling so we didn't overshoot. Should we up that?
** We are going to go to change to 100% unthrottled for that group of people.
** We will not stop at 100K users either; will offer to all ~417K eligible users.
** Details in {{bug|651982}}
* Bump in numbers is en-US only - this is because FF5.0b1 is en-US only, not localized.
==Stability report==
* Top crash list similar to top crash list for Aurora.
* No new or explosive crashes have been identified.
* Still need more users on the channel to get better stability data.
* A couple of issues with the crash metrics have surfaced
** We are currently throttling 5.0 crash reports at 10%. We want to change this so that on Beta, we have 100% and throttle on release. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655838 Bug 655838] will be fixed today.
** There is a second issue where the crash rate appears to be miscalculated. For 37K ADUs on 5.0 we have 1600 crashes which seems high if you compare to a similar number of users on the trunk. This is still under investigation. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655846 Bug 655846]
==Go/no-go decision==
* There was a thread on the list about this.
* What data would QA present to help us make the Go/no-go decisions?
** What has QA done up to that point.
** Stability report.
** Performance? We don't have anybody reporting on this. Most of these should be handled in the Nightly to Aurora transition.
** Bugs we are tracking that need to be resolved before going to Beta - 6 bugs.
* Next Monday we will assemble this information to make a go/no-go decision for doing the merge.
* Matt owns packaging this up for Monday's meeting.
* Extension compatibility
** Do we care about this? We probably can't make it part of the calculation for this time but in the future, this will be a bigger part of the criteria.
** Would we delay going to Beta if an extension is not compatible? Probably something we need to take to the list.
* There are 2 explicit decisions here
** Do a beta?
** Did we do it correctly?
==Repo/Mechanics==
* All ready for 17may.
** Still an issue with l10n but it does not affect the merge on May 17th. This *might* relate to the next merge from Aurora-Beta.
