  • Release note revamp
  • Aurora revamp - new name, new audience, new purpose, new process
  • Working with Marketing/PR to stop using version numbers in public-facing press
  • Engagement on nightly -- we can help shape it, help set the bar & get preffable
  • How do we get into developers minds early and get them to work with us early
  • communications (over-communicating, sending out status, risks, bugs that need escalation)
  • having a consistent presentation from Relman, even though we split out B2G & Desktop/Mobile
  • what are the overlapping parts of these focuses and what is not shared?
  • what should and shouldn't be shared between two teams?
  • high level breakout of 2014 quarterly goals
  • break out of expectations for each team we interact with (esp. useful for new hires)
  • ...what else?
  • Engage with B2G partners to ensure quality
  • Predictability in release content
  • Engaging global teams
  • Successful dogfooding
