; Beta Status: We are not releasing a beta this week. We made the decision that rendering performance (panning and checkerboarding) was not good enough for a beta release. Patrick and BenWa started work on using GL-layers in Gecko/Android to improve rendering performance. Work has also started on off-main thread compositing (OMTC) to make panning more responsive. Erin and Alex are working on schedule impact and planning. We should have more details sometime today or tomorrow. Other work continues to drive down crashes, improve stability and improve UI responsiveness.

* We don't know if this means Fx11 is not the release for Native. We are working to answer that today or tomorrow. <== we need the OMTC work to land in m-c before a new schedule can truly be set.
* Work continues to drive down crashes, improve stability and improve UI responsiveness.


; GL-Layers and OMTC: Work to convert mobile to use GL backed layers is happening at breakneck speed. We should have a demo of the GL-layers work at today's Mobile Demo meeting.

; Chrome for Android: ICS-only and no Flash, but a pretty solid release otherwise. How do we match up?

Work to convert mobile to use GL backed layers is happening at breakneck speed. We should have a demo of the GL-layers work at today's Mobile Demo meeting.
Wiki page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/OffMainThreadCompositing
* We will use the Maple branch to continue the GL work, waiting for the repo to be cleared, currently still working off the kiwifox user repo.
* Builds are available and Fennec is demoable.
* Work towards: Displayport, Adreno crash fix, Layer positions, Buffer Rotation, Performance measurements & improvements, Artifact-free rendering after orientation change and keyboard appearance/disappearance
* Working to get estimates on timelines and collateral breakage


== Round Table ==

===SUMO===
*Updating and creating new articles to support nativeUI; https://wiki.mozilla.org/Support/Goals/NativeUIdocs
*Question: Is there an opportunity to work on the menu? Having Settings & Add-ons under 'More' on gingerbread puts them further away than they were in XUL. Could they be moved back to the top?
===QA===
* Filed all* the Java crashes that crash-stats knows about
* waiting on the Beta plan will assist
===Project Management===
* Just in case this wasn't clear: We won't have a schedule for beta and final until next week: we need to land the OMTC changes in m-c,before we widely circulate a new schedule. Landing is gated on the items being tracked in this bug and right now, we're hoping to land to m-c in a week: {{Bug|725095}} OMTC: Land Android compositor
* I will probably have a draft by the end of the week, but it will need to be approved and again, we need to see how the OMTC patch queue is looking before pick up where we left off; this will be testable on the Maple branch very soon.
