(Asa) I'd like to nominate Melissa Shapiro for the awesome job she, the PR team, and the spokespeople did putting together the Firefox 3 press tour. In all of my time at Mozilla, I've never seen such an amazing and effective press effort and that includes the launches of Mozilla 1.0 and Firefox 1.0. Great job, Melissa!! and everyone else involved. | |||

We had a window of opportunity last week to do a final major update for Thunderbird 1.5.0.14 users. QA is ahead of schedule and expects to finish testing and release later today. [[Releases/Thunderbird_1.5.0.14_MU|Follow along]] on the wiki. | |||
[[Releases/Firefox_2.0.0.15|Firefox 2.0.0.15]] is currently scheduled to hand over to build today. However, given the lack of tinderbox coverage (and nightlies) over the weekend, and given that we have a couple more patches we want to land before freezing, the release will probably be delayed a day, possibly two. We're hoping to hand over to build tomorrow afternoon. | |||
Finally, last week while thinking through Thunderbird Major Update and Firefox 2.0.0.15, we scheduled Thunderbird 2.0.0.15. There are certain restraints we have in scheduling it, so it's currently targeted for a week after Firefox 2.0.0.15. Tb20015 will need a larger testing cycle so we might delay a further couple of days. | |||
