Major Topics for This Week

• State of the Alpha 1 code freeze
  • Blockers
  • What is at risk?

Front-end

• Working on Alpha 1 blockers
  • bug 582569, bug 552828, bug 552827 and bug 584865 in particular
• Features (see Planning page)
  • Several features have landed
  • Updating tasks and related bugs for Beta 1 (Sept 7)
  • Must have feature designs final by Sept 16

General Platform

Camera

• Necko bits (moz-device implementation) have r+ from jdm.
• DOM bits are close to r+ from sicking (probably one more substantive iteration and a final round of nits).
• Sicking suggested creating a pref (that we could turn on in Fennec) to always display the camera button on an <input type="file" /> element regardless of whether it has the accept attribute set.

Performance

• bug 584866, bug 586115 and bug 584864 should help with e10s performance
  • Should bug 586115 be blocking a1?

Release Engineering

• priorities page
• bug 564302 working to get auto-tools their own talos staging environment (this slowed down talos e10s patch testing)
• multilocale deb: zip -9 for locale jars reduces directory size 2.5mb, increases deb size .5 mb
