Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Key Issues

(Non team specific issues that impact engineering.)

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Firefox Metro (bbondy/jmathies/mbrubeck)

<Read Only>

• APZ now enabled by default. Issues tracked by bug 886321.
• bug 907410 - Windows 8.1 issues resolved. Follow up work to completely split gecko/winrt event threads booted to v2 in bug 911133.
• Misc. polish work: IT14
• Final decision on Fx26 vs. Fx27 uplift to Aurora will happen this week. Looks like we may hold off for Fx27.

Firefox OS Media Recording (cjku)

<Read Only>

• bug 912960 - [B2G] The video device name in MediaEngineWebRTCVideoSource is not a valid UTF8 string
• bug 881840 - [MediaEncoder] Implement VP8 video track encoder
• bug 891705 - [MediaEncoder] Implement WebM 1.0 container writer
• bug 911883 - Recording audio during phone call
• bug 907048 - Skip colorlayer if other opacity layer just covers the colorlayer region
• bug 907303 - AudioNodeEngineNEON.cpp doesn't build on GCC 4.4.3

Firefox OS Productivity (doliver)

Last week:

• The first cut at email notifications has landed! https://bugzil.la/892519
  • These should be pretty functional, so go ahead and give it a shot. Visit your account settings to turn on notifications for existing accounts.
  • New accounts will have the option to turn them on during setup
  • Note: as currently implemented, you may find notifications overly enthusiastic -- every new mail will wake up your screen and play a sound. We are working with the systems team this week to see what we can do to add a less exuberant class of notification to use for less urgent cases like this.

This week:

• Work week - Oslo
  • Objective is to complete all 1.2 blocking features -- the remaining pieces of notifications and streaming for attachments (https://bugzil.la/871897)

GFX (milan)

• SkiaGL on by default on B2G canvas (above a threshold size)
• Australis/TART performance gap - trying to figure out who can work on this
• Metro team identified train 27 as the one where they may need Gfx team help if problems are found
• B2G identified key performance issues and regressions (914143, 912134)

Seceng (tanvi)

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

MemShrink (njn)

• Two thumbs up to William Chen, who recently added a memory reporter for the observer service, which soon identified an observer leak in telemetry code.
• Bug 912255 fixed a ghost window. It's also just a really nice bug report -- the reporting, reproducing, bisecting, and fixing was all done in a short time.

Roundtable

(Comments and questions that arise during the course of the meeting or otherwise do not have a section.)

<Read only beyond this point>

Mailing List Threads

(Threads that are likely to be of interest to engineering from various mailing lists.)

Good Reads

(Links to blog posts, books, videos, etc. that you think will be of interest to others.)
