SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: November 18, 2008, 13:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes?

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug)

• KaiRo still needs to remind gavin periodically to review bug 407725.
• Will we branch early (at about same time as Firefox/m-c) or just let our trunk follow their branch. Or will we skip 1.9.1 and wait for 1.9.2? Probably best to NG-this and postpone decision making for next meeting. --Justin Wood (Callek) 17:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

SeaMonkey 2 Alpha 2

Bug Queries

open blockers all blockers blocker requests

• Freeze target is supposedly still TODAY, can we make it?
• Do we have enough new stuff to warrant another alpha?
• We need alpha blocker triage done!
  • I just did some triage in a few bugs, I'm not officially council so someone will still need to go through and read my comments and either choose to agree or not on those requests --Justin Wood (Callek) 00:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Note to the receptionist for this meeting, remove my comments on blockers from this section, no need for it to be in ending notes; Just entered here incase I'm not around for this part of meeting --Justin Wood (Callek) 00:29, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Roundtable

Status Updates from developers - what are you working on, what's the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

Callek

• Ongoing progress on DLMGR
• Threw together a quick (hacky) solution to tying our feed discovery into the newly landed MailNews feed reader. bug 465258 (Will be backed out when feed preview is done)

KaiRo

• As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.

mcsmurf

• Finished testing installer patch, requested review (see longer-term planning above for bug #)

Mnyromyr

• some few :( reviews
• started planning fix for bug 460960 (tabs in MailNews)

Any other business?

• We probably need to work with Camino, and Linux distro's to find someone to upkeep the 1.8.1 branch due to Firefox dropping support for that branch soon. Thunderbird will likely still be supported, but having additional help outside of our small teams will be a MAJOR plus. --Justin Wood (Callek) 17:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
