SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: September 22, 2009, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes?

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.
  • KaiRo to email Google again

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2

• SHIPPED on Sep 12!
  • 16 locales made it, including en-US we have 17 languages.
  • Compared to 2.0b1, nl is new, but cs didn't make it.
• Feedback
  • de had a broken string that breaks SMTP auth, fixed for nightlies
  • Feedback is good, including the possibility of testing Lightning with it

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (6) blocker requests (2) open wanted (26) wanted requests (3)

• Need to get blockers fixed, some are unowned as of now, need to get assigned
• Schedule:
  • Proposal: String freeze Oct 1, Code freeze Oct 6
  • Spin first RC right after code freeze with locales that are ready
  • Let locales continue to opt in until we feel OK with shipping a later RC as the actual final.
  • Thunderbird might be string freezing shortly earlier, code freezing possibly later, but going with a longer period to actual final.
  • Freeze on October 6th should allow at least a week of string freeze for final and allow us for some time of candidate testing, whether we push them as public RC releases or not.
  • The final string freeze for Thunderbird 3.0 is September 29 [...]. Thus, if Thunderbird checks in mailnews patches with string changes, that leaves people working on SM Help some 48 hours to get respective patches done, reviewed, and checked in to reflect such changes in the documentation. Sounds rather tight... [rsx11m via Mozillazine]
• Branch planning is up in the air, Thunderbird drivers seem to think branching very closely to releasing their final is good, KaiRo thinks branching should happen before spinning our first RC. No compromise reached as of now.

2.1

• bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.

  • unowned so far
• bug 498596 places bookmarks
  • unowned so far

Roundtable

Status Updates from developers - what are you working on, what's the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

KaiRo

• As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.

sgautherie

• bug 460953 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable
  • bug 510793 Actually change folder pane from rdf to js, in SeaMonkey
    • Completed initial bare port, found that it depends on bug bug 444913
    • Postponed to SM 2.1a1 :-|
• Fixed (or in-progress) SeaMonkey bugs:
  • bug 516195 Port |Bug 435296 - imagelib should support decode-on-draw| to SeaMonkey
  • bug 517478 signon.expireMasterPassword is obsolete and should be removed; (Cv1-SM) Remove all pref support
• And working on other areas... like
  • infrastructure to run tests
  • filing bugs for leaks in (TUnit) tests
  • doing a Windows comm-central-trunk SeaMonkey unit test build, reporting to bug 470184 issue tracking; looking forward to an official build when enough new buildbot slaves can be enabled (bug 464325 follow-ups).

Standard8

• See Thunderbird/StatusMeetings/2009-09-22#Standard8.

Any other business?

• People need to write some blog posts for the SeaMonkey blog to show off what SM2 features. Mnyromyr needs to write a summary on tabmail anyway, so he can make a blog post from that as well.
• As a note, KaiRo wrote up a SeaMonkey Privacy Policy page for SeaMonkey along with an update to the geolocation doc up there.
• KaiRo wants to do an interview series on the SeaMonkey blog with SeaMonkey 2 contributors to highlight the dev community - up to 25 people on the list right now!
