Product Status Updates

Firefox 4

• Beta 10 looks great! We're still processing the feedback
• We're converging. 318 bugs fixed since beta 10, but still slightly slower than anticipated
  • 35 betaN hardblockers (down from 50 last week)
  • 32 final hardblockers (down from 38 last week)
• We will decide about beta 11 (and a possible 12) by this Tuesday (tomorrow)
  • See the newsgroup post for reasoning / options
    • tl;dr - If we think we can get all betaN hardblockers by this Friday, we will build this Friday. If we think they will take longer, we build this Tuesday to get coverage for the >318 fixes we already have

Firefox 3.6

• 3.6.14 and 3.5.17 are on the beta channel, look good so far
• Currently on track to ship the 8th (on schedule)
• The proposed schedule for 3.6.15 and 3.5.18 will be sent around this week

Mobile Firefox

• Beta 4 real coming soon

Thunderbird

• Lots of progress on various planning pieces from last week's off-site; watch for details around Thunderbird 3.3 and more to coalesce in tb-planning.

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
