* [beltzner] need to get legal / engagement / mozilla.org input on a couple of wording changes in the About Window (see {{bug|579547}} and {{bug|571584}}) | |||

** '''beltzner''' will consult with other product leads to try and find a good window for this | |||
* [catlee] RelEng wants to reconfig to bring new build slaves into production | |||

** '''beltzner''' suggested either early ET or 7pm PT | |||
* [clegnitto] Can we make forwarding from branch 2.0 to trunk (or the other way, whatever makes more sense) automatic? Would hate to miss fixes either way. | |||
