Agenda

Minutes

  • SDK 0.6 plan: freeze next monday (jul-19). Since lots of stuff won't make it, so there's less in this release, so it needs less stabilization time (one week).
    • Places is moving out to 0.7, the FF folks are busy with Fx4 work
    • Context-Menu vs E10S: Drew will take it on this week. It's at risk for 0.6, we don't know what will be involved.
    • complete docs APIs: Noelle is on it
    • Panel API vs E10S: at risk, but Myk thinks the patch will be ready
    • Page Mods vs E10S: also at risk, depends on code in Panel
    • Widget vs E10S: similar to Page Mods, Myk will take it on, since it overlaps a lot with Panel
    • Widget vs Fx4: mostly done (on the jetpack side), Fx4 side is not as far along
    • lots of 0.6 things are at risk: release will ship even if they all miss, since we want to establish a regular cycle
  • Brian made plea to make APIs confineable: API authors should make it easy for other modules to be written, on top of these APIs, which expose a limited subset. This generally means more explicit arguments and splitting functionality into separate objects/methods/modules.
  • Flightdeck.next
    • preview release shipped on june-25, big success, rave reviews in London workshop and at summit, hackathon contest went well
    • we've talked about doing a public beta this month
    • plan for ever-better releases to ever-wider audiences, rather than building up to a single huge loud release
    • next release will probably be blogged on AMO, in addition to sending to the mailing list
    • please email Myk if you see problems, he will find/file a bug for you
  • roundtable
    • closing down Jetpack gallery
      • brian wants a tarball of the addons, to skim through and look for common patterns, API usage
      • decided to put off shutdown a few weeks, synchronize with the 0.6 release
    • Ayan's demo
