[gsvelto]

• Couldn't work on the transition this week but I've spent some time looking at the patches that removed stlport to figure out what we need to do

=== Code Transition ===

Feature complete except for dialer https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/b2g-transition-requirements Still need to merge into master

• Tests are green on Linux 64 bit, need to verify on others
• Only thing that blocks us is that we fixed some things with a hack and need to fix, Reuben working on this
• Apps API expected to be removed shortly after merge - very large patch

"C++11 standard library support enabled on all Tier-1 platforms" https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.platform/v_T59V5QRss/Ti6Shz_mOwAJ

• Removing support for STL port, this is likely to cause B2G breakage
• What do we need to do to fix this? (Thomas & Gabriele have spent some time looking at this)

• 16 volunteers for mentoring sessions (sudden increase during last week)

=== Porting ===

B2G installer is not signed, still have to fix the following bugs:

Governance

Last week the decision to create a Council has been made: https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/B2G_gov_model_proposal

• It will tackle governance decision for the next 6 months, and organize discussions around the next governance model
• Volunteers welcome :) 9 people right now

Manifesto: I proposal has been made by Ben Francis It's a lot shorter, closer to Mozilla's Manifesto It might need explanations / more details to be clear

• Lapineige is working on a proposal, based on Ben's one, with some additional details (a bit like Mozilla Manifesto, if you click on the points)

Communication

• Some flyers with the Call for Contribution were shared during the Ubuntu Party in Paris last week-end: File:B2GOS-flyerA5-deux-ex.pdf
• Call for contribution shared within several Mozilla locales communities (including India)

Any special communication for the end of the transition phase?

• after the merge has happened, at least to keep people informed on which branches to use

Round Table

Related: Project Tablet kicks off tomorrow Connected_Devices/Projects/Project_Tablet

• Connected Devices working a user study to test the demand for a simple tablet dedicated to browsing the web
• Link to the meeting time/place ?

Some figures about the telegram group: ~117 members 2 weeks ago ~147 last week 165 right now [benfrancis] There are currently 261 people in the #dev-fxos IRC channel, any progress on a bridge?

• https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2GOS-community/issues/7
• 2 volunteers to help on the bridge - need to avoid to be ban for flooding

People come mostly by waves - seems like 1 new communication channel create this effect from time to time

• Conclusion: the communication seem to be working ! :)
