Major Topics for This Week

Tree status and approvals

The Mozilla-Inbound and Mozilla-Central trees are in "approval mode" in an effort to minimize risk. Any mobile beta blocker or release blocker is cleared to land. Use "a=blocking-fennec" on the checkin. Soft blockers must get an explicit approval from a driver based on the risk-level of the patch. Too risky? Doesn't land in Fx14.

Stand ups

Suggested format:

• What did you do last week?
• What are working on this week?
• Anything blocking you?

Please keep your update to under 2 minutes!
