I need help with bug 1283799. I contacted William Chen but he doesn't reply anymore for a few days now. Almost all apps are "adopted" https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/updated-9th-july-call-for-app-maintainers-adopt-an-app/9300 *GREAT news Only Dialer working now, and there is some work on the clock app clock is done. Currently in dead_apps folder on kanikani branch. Waiting to be added to apps folder. No bug opened for the other apps, still no news

  • Are people just starting, do they need help ? (ping on discourse ?)

where are we going to move wokring webapps? do we want them in /webapps/

  • Either create new webapps/ folder or move system chrome from apps/ to chrome/ and use apps/

Jamie wants to work on some new tests

  • Marionette for integration tests
  • Need a new solution for unit tests.
  • Mochitests?

Merge of pine into mozilla-central still ongoing, problems with cache for builds. Having to work locally rather than push to try.

Round Table

It's a bit soon, but I think it's good to start thinking about it: how to manage feature request/proposals ? Who decide what to do ? The module owner ?

  • In the absense of Product Manager, yes the module owner

"platform" to submit proposal/request ? Maybe investigate other tools (e.g. GetSatisfaction)

  • Lapineige will take a look
  • Include Discourse?

Votes ?

  • Not the best way to make decisions but useful tool for getting feedback
  • Shouldn't do a poll if we can't implement the feature

Some successful tests on Telegram-IRC bridge

  • Have solution for flooding limit

Communications on transition

  • Should consider sending something out soon

Note that 25th July is B2G's 5th Birthday!

  • Let's take the opportunity for a celebration and some communications
  • Have to be careful with our messaging
  • Take into account status of Tablet and SmartTV projects
  • Define clearly defined roles and responsibilities of where we need help (though with volunteer roles, we have to be careful they don't look like job descriptions!)
  • A plan or timeline of what we're planning - roadmap to 3.0 alpha?
  • List of features we need for an Alpha release?

Need a FoxFooding branch?

  • Once pine merges do we need a stable branch we can keep in a good state for FoxFooding?
