== Questions and Concerns == | |||
=== focusing meeting on Apps Ecosystem for Firefox OS === | |||
* myk proposed focusing this meeting on the apps ecosystem for firefox os | |||
* most apps folks are spending most of their time working on it | |||
* we should spend our precious meeting time talking about the thing we're spending most of the rest of our time working on | |||
* Android is short-term, so keeping focus on it will help us in the short term | |||
* are we still going to build an ecosystem for desktop? | |||
* the steering committee wants to make sure we make basecamp successful | |||
* the steering committee has deprioritized the desktop marketplace | |||
* so we have delayed its release, but we haven't given up on it | |||
* desktop has a huge role to play in discovery and send-to-phone | |||
* ecosystem for desktop will not get attention right now | |||
* don't think we've abandoned desktop! we haven't | |||
* we're just focusing on mobile for the moment | |||
* pmpcat is responsible for making sure teams dedicated to android and desktop have a place where they're not the second or third priority | |||
* pmpcat will monitor concerns in this meeting and see if we need to set up separate meetings for desktop and android | |||
* she won't let it fall through the cracks! | |||
=== basecamp status updates === | |||
* some people say we're almost ready | |||
* others say we're far away | |||
* status reports are not in alignment with each other | |||
* QA says we're red because smoke tests can't run because phones are busted | |||
* others seem to have a different opinion | |||
* mtreese is going to drop fuel gauges from status reports | |||
* instead he's going to institute burn rates and other depictions | |||
* will also have feature-by-feature status charts in report | |||
* we're also working on ways to get accurate estimates on when we'll be there | |||
* f.e. getting "level of effort estimates on every open bug | |||
* so we can determine, given existing amount of work, whether schedule is realistic | |||
* all those changes are in place | |||
* we're driving toward consistency | |||
* send remaining concerns to mtreese or raise them again next week! | |||
* gas gauges have been helpful to rfant | |||
* uses it to determine basecamp status at a glance | |||
* mtreese has also received feedback elsewhere that there's too much info in the reports | |||
* will continue evolving it | |||
=== apps tracking for basecamp === | |||
* there are people tracking the platform | |||
* there are people tracking gaia | |||
* there are people tracking apps | |||
* what apps features are we tracking? | |||
* QA folks are confused | |||
* pmpcat is going to take a deep dive into bugzilla | |||
* suspects that dev hub, marketplace, apps management folks aren't marking bugs as basecamp blockers | |||
* pmpcat will sit down with dietrich and ask help from myk to make sure we track apps features as basecamp blockers | |||
== \n's internship == | |||
* \n's internship is coming to an end | |||
* yay \n! | |||
