Major Topics for This Week

ARMv6: Based on data and feedback, we are not opening Fx16 final release up to ARMv6 devices. We will keep gathering data on the Beta channel (Fx17).
B2G Prioritization: In order to ensure b2g hits it's "basecamp" timeline, the Mozilla Engineering org is temporarily moving some developers from other projects to work on the remaining b2g and gaia blockers. From Mobile, Margaret Leibovic and Chris Peterson are moving to work on b2g. The overall change has affected our Q4 goals, but Product and Project management have been working to clarify the roadmap and goals.
Graphics, Layout and Media work week;

It is Nov 12-16 in Vancouver. If you are working with the graphics, layout or media teams, you should attend.
