General Discussion

• Security Push
  • 1.9 Security Meeting Details (in direct email).
  • Definition of Security Push
    • 49 and growing, security blockers we need to fix.
    • Need to balance feature work and security efforts.
    • If you feel your feature blockers are interfering with security blockers, need to help find another resource and/or specify that you are going to delay the release.
    • Blocker security bugs have already been identified and you have at least a week to prepare for a week of security bug focus.
    • Basic definition of Push: Damon communicates your bug status ad nauseam.
  • A6 Security Push Week: June 18-22.
  • B1 Security Push Week: July 2-6.
• Probably need to do the same for performance?
• Triage Proposed Changes:
  • Move all triage meetings to a single day (monday?).
  • Make each triage meeting consecutive by functional group (i.e., GFX, Layout, Content, etc.).
  • Do not require everyone to attend everyone's triage sessions; however, one can sit through all of them if need be.
  • This will set expectation that triage will be completed at least once a week and we don't reach a point again between now and b1 where we have 192 existing noms.
  • damon, mconnor, schrep, and a few others will consider beginning daily triage sessions, as in Fx2.
