Major Topics for This Week

Aurora uplift

We lied. We uplifted "any and all patches that were not graphics related and had no merge conflicts" on Friday night. If your blockers have been approved for Aurora, try to land them. If you get a conflict, let them wait. Keep requesting approval for your fixed blockers!

Graphics

The GFX team is focused on fixing crashers. We plan to reduce the amount of crashes and uplift the graphics work to Aurora.

Stand ups

Suggested format:

• What did you do last week?
• What are working on this week?
