SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: October 06, 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

• Kairo to contact MoFo on doing a SeaMonkey 2.0 press release. Current Status: talked with MoCo presscontact, said they can't do anything that costs money, but fell good about forwarding a roughly two-paragraph note to their contacts.

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 emailed Google again more than 2 weeks ago, no reply yet.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (5) blocker requests (2) open wanted (27) wanted requests (7)

• Need to get blockers fixed, some are unowned as of now, need to get assigned and fixed fast or need to consider to either drop or push back release.
• Schedule:
  • String freeze passed on Oct 1, locales starting to opt in.
  • Code freeze TODAYidnight PDT!
  • Spin first RC tomorrow if possible, with locales that are ready.
  • Let locales continue to opt in, RC2 should be final if in any way possible though.
    • Help can have exceptions to the string freeze - we always have handled it that way. And nothing breaks if localizers are not 100% in sync with help docs.
• 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.

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

• Attended EU MozCamp 2009 in Prague
• As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.

mcsmurf

• Working on bug 452465 Migration wizard gets confused with non-matching directory-rel and directory prefs for SeaMonkey 2.0
• Working on bug 508039 Port |Bug 456439 - add about:rights and a "Know Your Rights" infobar to Firefox| to SeaMonkey for SeaMonkey 2.0

Standard8

• See Thunderbird/StatusMeetings/2009-10-05#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.
• Interesting talks with multiple people in Prague about future and esp. KompoZer collaboration/integration.
