+* There's a security review for Account Provisioning occurring this Friday. [http://blog.mozilla.com/security/2011/08/15/scheduled-security-reviewsdiscussions-week-of-15-aug-2011/ Please chip in if you have feedback].
 ===== OpenSearch =====
+* Blake is away this week, so no updates.
 ===== Test Pilot =====
+* Trying to get Thunderbird Test Pilot support landed at the moment
+* Once it lands, we'll be looking at doing [http://etherpad.mozilla.com:9000/lxWvTlhZ3D  some studies]!  We'll probably start that on a Beta phase, and then we might push it out to some percentage of release channel users.

 Also, improved Thunderbird Conversations as usual by fixing bugs and implementing a few UI-related fixes suggested by Bryan. Will try to work with Andy to do a visual refresh of the UI.
+We're at 50,000+ users, but we can always use more!
+Conversations 2.1 will be coming out soon, which fixes quite a few bugs.

 ===== Ubuntu Unity Integration =====
+* It's official - Thunderbird will be the default e-mail client in Ubuntu Oneiric!
+* So far, EDS Contacts Integration add-on feedback has been positive.
+* Ubuntu Oneiric has gone into feature freeze, which means that the EDS provider for Lightning won't get bundled this cycle.
+** Canonical knew that it was a long-shot to get EDS Lightning integration in this cycle, so it wasn't a dealbreaker
 ==== Schedule and Progress ====
 ===== Thunderbird 6 =====
+* Releasing today!  We're about half-way done.
+* The release is out on the website, but not yet in the update channels.  This will probably happen within an hour or so.
+* This is the first release that's fully gone through each of the 6-week channels, so it's official - Thunderbird is riding the train!
 ===== Thunderbird 7 =====
+* Merges to beta today.
+* The Earlybird branding is going out later this week
+* The channels page for getting Earlybird and Beta builds will be coming out soon, too
+* Daily branding will also be landing soon.
 ===== Thunderbird 8 =====
+* Merges to earlybird today.
+===== Thunderbird 9 =====
+* Development starts on trunk today.
 ===== Thunderbird 3.1.x =====
+* Regular security release is going out today
 * Bug Lists: [http://hg.mozilla.org/users/bugzilla_standard8.plus.com/drivertools/raw-file/default/bugtracking/index.html?branch=3.1 3.1]
+* The 3.1 series is going to keep going while we discuss how to work with enterprise users.  Once there's a way forward there, we'll close down the 3.1 branch.
