* [Curtis] SecReview Bugs - Feedback from engineering team on our ideas ===
** file-a-bug-to-move-channels got shot down
** up to Sec Team to file "blocker" bugs
** Bugs that come out of security review meetings should have [sg:] markings
* [Curtis] Should we mark priorities [sgpri:P3] or targets [sgtarg:Fx6] in addition to severities [sg:moderate]
** Priorities -- probably not
** Targets -- use the normal tracking flags, so we agree with release drivers
* [Curtis] Adding a Bugzilla keyword/whiteboard like "security-review-wanted".
** Seems best to add a pair of short keywords, "sec-review-needed" and "sec-review-complete".
** "sec-review-needed" will include scheduled, Curtis can keep track
** Done. went with sec-review-* for similarity with other keywords
* [Curtis] Adding a Bugzilla patch flag like "security-implementation-review".
** On hold while we see whether the "sec-review-needed" bug keyword and "r?dveditz" are sufficient.
* [Lucas] Embedding team members
** sec team member will attend the feature team's meetings, contribute to design, and potentially contribute to implemenation. (expensive; expect to spend at least a few hours a week)
** need to identify which projects want/need embedded sec team member. Candidates: Mobile, F1, Sync, Jetpack, Apps, Mozilla ID,
** who on the security team? imelven (mobile), dchan (F1), curtisk (Identity), bsterne (Apps), dveditz (Jetpack/Add-on builder), bsmith (Sync)
* [Curtis] Telemetry
** Implementation Review? (none/some/all) (client/server)
** Server review: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655746
** Owners for items from Telemetry review/discussion
** [bsmith] Follow-up bug: different (non-aborting) error handling strategy for future release.
** [Sid?] Follow-up bug: in future histogram collections should come  from a single file that can be audited, rather than allow instantiation  from any random part of the code.
** [bsmith /mcoates] Code hosted on GitHub--like many other parts of Mozilla--will review policy at next joint secteam/infrasec-security meeting.
** [taras] Follow-up bug: Mobile data usage--must minimize the size of data sent--gzip, more-efficient-than-JSON encoding.  (bug 661578)
** Next course of action
* [David] Blackhat/DEFCON hotels
** https://intranet.mozilla.org/ConferencesSchedule/Blackhat2011
** Milk & Cookies party?
* [Lucas] Review scheduling
** Would it help if everyone on the security team tried to keep specific times open every week?
** Should we avoid Fridays? Bad for NZ and Europe
* [Lucas] Questions re SF office
** Lucas and Ian will probably be based in SF office. bsmith might.
* [dveditz] Security fix verification
** QA team is becoming less interested in putting resources on the 3.6 branch
** Automated tests are good, but they leave the risk that what the developer fixed isn't the right bug.
** Should we invite reporters to verify fixes? We do, for externally reported bugs.
** ??? will chat with Matt, manager of the QA team
* [dveditz] Let's use the public #security channel more and the private channel less
