Early mozilla-aurora uplift?

• Carry-over from previous aurora meetings
• RelEng says they can do it but as far as resources are concerned but would prefer not
• QA says they want a couple of days to qualify as well
• We'd have to source migrate twice, worth it?
• Benefits to being consistent
• Decided to just wait until July 5th

Same day migration and channel updates?

• Current plan is to do the migrations and updates on the same day
• Do we want to adjust this before trying it?
  • Source migration, update generation, and offering the updates are 3 distinct operations
  • For release, everything is done beforehand except offering updates
  • Marketing may like everything released on the same date to grow the Beta and Aurora audiences
  • Migrating on the day we said is important
  • Waiting a couple of days to offer Aurora nightlies anyway due to increased churn
  • Need to manually build mozilla-beta after the source migration, which means it won't be offering it on Tuesday ever
  • All this means that even though we do a couple things on the same day, the mechanics spread out the work and the update offers over multiple days
• Aurora vs Beta update rate?
  • Decided this was better handled in the Aurora meeting

Firefox 5 tracking bugs

• Anything we still need to track?
• Do we clear out the list?

Action Item

• Christian will make a channel blog post about the source code migration / update details
