* Thanks to everyone who participated in Friday's test day on the RC bits. We had a great turn out, running over 270 test cases on litmus along with a lot of dog fooding.
* We have RC1 candidate binaries available: [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2.0.0.0-candidates/]
* Build team has started the software update work for upgrading beta users. Once this is ready, we'll officially release RC1. That should happen this week.

* robcee has implemented a way to clobber the testing Tinderboxen; see [http://antennasoft.net/robcee/2007/03/28/its-clobberin-time/ his post] for more information.
* Looks like egg has lost its mind sometime last week, so we've disabled autoconf regeneration, and will be looking at it today; progress is being tracked in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375219 bug 375219]
* An update to first-level IT Tinderbox support
** We'll be IT Nagios paging next week for the tier 1 machines
** Before filing blocker bugs against IT for on-call/tier 1 tinderboxes, ''please'' look at the [[Build:Farm]] page, to make sure it's a tier 1 machine if it's not during business hours. Being paged on the weekend is stressful, and we should only page IT to help if it's a tier 1 machine.
* We're working with IT and WebDev to have the Thunderbird 2 release use Bouncer2.
* Coop got Talkback auto-submitting on the perf testing machines; you can now search Talkback for the reports with the test names.
* Build automation is still underway and could use your help [http://people.mozilla.com/~schrep/BuildAutomation/ Project Plan] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355309 Tracking Bug]
* We'll be moving the Tp page load server off of axolotl, so the machine can be retired; progress is tracked in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363499 bug 363499]; the tree will be closed when we do the move to let the numbers settle down.
