Action Items

NEW

OPEN

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.
  • KaiRo found out that the contact at Google changed. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+

• Decision made to drop 1.9.2 and go for 1.9.3 as a base
  • Creates some problems with staying behind Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 for a bit, but makes us be right at the front when Firefox.next comes.

  • Could remove all branch ifdefs from suite/ trunk code.

• See Mozilla Status Board Posts.

Any other business?

• [sgautherie] I suggest to replace the (usually) empty roundtable entries with a list of "no report/activity from these contributors"...
  • [Ratty] How about pruning the entries. There are some contributors who just drop by specifically to implement one feature they are interested in and then disappear forever afterwards (asrail, wladow). MReimer appears to have GAFIAted and is highly unlikely to return.
  • [sgautherie] We can do both/either: I just wanted to make a "1st step" suggestion ;-)
