B2G/Gaia

• code freeze on 15th
• qualcomm has series of bugs blocking them

• what will qualcomm be looking at in our ecosystem?
• DevHub? Marketplace?

• in general, there are a series of end-to-end tests
• then they go to a third-party certification provider
• regulatory certification
• then in-country carrier certification
• that latter certification is where there might be issues raised

Packaged Apps

• packaged apps blocked in two places
• dietrich tracking device bugs
• bugs assigned to several people

• bsmith has had blocking bugs on server side for months
• keeps getting pulled off for other work in Firefox desktop
• we need to get these done, and we only have five days

• we should enable bsmith to focus on client-side code
• unclear if he's still working on other things
• mtreese and pmpcat to contact managers to ensure bsmith focused on this work

Packaged App Signing

• faramarz nominated fzzzy to own packaged app updates
• unclear what work is in scope, sicking will ask dietrich about it

• decision: lsblakk will provide tech leadership with fzzzy
• approach: separate the immediate need to review preloaded apps from the overall, ongoing app review process
• need to get clarity (granular level) on each app
  • is it packaged? is it hosted?
  • does it require privileges?
  • what privileges does it need?
  • need much more detail... pmpcat to take back to kward etc
