 == Release Engineering  ==
 * lots of people ping-ed buildduty last week asking for errant try-server builds to be canceled, or to have extra tests run on an existing build. This is excellent. Please keep it up.
+** BTW: work-around for platform specific try builds: use custom mozconfigs with exit 1 on the platforms you DON'T need.  See [[Build:TryServerAsBranch|Using_a_custom_mozconfig]] for details on using custom mozconfigs.
 * deployed buildbot 0.8.0 and the schedulerdb to most of our buildbot masters last week. This makes it easier for releng to manage the job queue and serve you.
 * stage cleaning policy finally adopted and implemented. See [[ReleaseEngineering:StageCleanupPolicy|StageCleanupPolicy]] for more details.
 * deployed nagios checks to uncover hung buildslaves. This has led to improved turnaround times as slaves get back to doing useful work sooner.
 * disabled CentOS unit tests for mozilla-central
+* New branches this week: mozilla-2.0 (aka Firefox4.0), jaegermonkey, and also disposable project branches that can be booked out by devs for temporary project usage - more info here: [[DisposableProjectBranches]]
