| Compositor-driven video timing || By moving video frame timing to the compositor we can make video playback smoother, especially for 60fps video. We can demo this by playing a specially crafted 60fps video of alternating cyan and magenta frames, which clearly shows color flashes whenever a frame is dropped or duplicated. || We can show people how Gecko with these changes gets much smoother 60fps video than older Gecko, or Chrome. || [http://robert.ocallahan.org/ Robert O'Callahan] | | Compositor-driven video timing || By moving video frame timing to the compositor we can make video playback smoother, especially for 60fps video.

| Connecting Donors with our Mission || We'll showcase some donor letters and ask you to send a message back to fundraising || We'll reflect on how our work and our personal values have contributed to letters of appreciation from donors. We do this: 1) to celebrate our donors 2) to celebrate our colleagues 3) to make our colleagues aware of their very real role in fundraising! We need to develop a MoFo case statement AND stewardship report for donors who gave in 2014 and this exercise will start to uncover potential contributors and some stories we wouldn't otherwise find. || [https://ca.linkedin.com/in/rebeccadaviescfre Rebecca Davies] | |||

| Perfherder || Perfherder is a new project, part of Treeherder, which will aims to: (1) detect, manage performance regressions in Firefox and Firefox for Android as detected by the Talos benchmarking tool; and (2) help Firefox developers evaluate the effect that their patches have on performance by providing tools for performing a side-by-side comparison on performance measures for specific revisions. [https://treeherder.mozilla.org/perf.html#/compare?originalProject=mozilla-inbound&originalRevision=64f9806c4c16&newProject=mozilla-inbound&newRevision=2f4eb23c6d7c Example]. [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Auto-tools/Projects/Perfherder Project landing page].|| The primary target audience for the demo are likely developers. You will learn: (1) How Perfherder will be used for performance sheriffing in the future (performance sheriffs will soon be linking to perfherder graphs and comparisons when filing bugs about performance regressions). (2) How to use Perfherder's comparison view to evaluate a build you submitted to try. The project is just beginning to come together, feedback from a broad cross section of the Firefox developer community would be extremely valuable. || [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/wlach/ William Lachance] | |||
