It's our long term release for a year so we'd like its quality to be high and therefore we need to test it now with your add-ons, anti-virus and POP. Also TB17 beta fixes the spellcheck bug in TB 16, {{bug|790475}}

 === Roundtable Highlights ===
+* Who is the list of people provided on the Thunderbird by Mozilla? See the [[Thunderbird/Proposal:_New_Release_and_Governance_Model#Release_drivers_roles|proposed governance model]]
+* Are the ADU stats for Thunderbird going to be public?
+** We are working with the metrics team as to what can be made public
+* Can we share income information of Thunderbird at as a whole?
+** JB will discuss internally.
+* In the past, Beta has been the pre-release version of the software, but now it is more of an early-adopter, could we promote it as such?
+** Firefox doesn't seem too concerned about branding Firefox Beta as something close to Firefox Release. Promoting the relationship between the two doesn't seem to cause damage.
