How are Firefox 6 + Fennec Selenium/Python bindings?
Jenkins: we're now launching with java jar -Xms8g -Xmx8g -XX:MaxPermSize=512M jenkins.war, and it's fixed our OOM issues; it just increases the heap allocation

Can someone own trying to figure out how to surpress username/password logging in Jenkins' workspace? I'd like us to at least open-up our CI outside the VPN, or perhaps merge w/Webdev
We could prioritize code reviews/merges made on pull requests. Refactoring pulls should have a higher priority because they can block writing tests in the refactored area. Also, further refactoring might be needed if a test is merged before a refactoring pull that covers the same area.

Status of Impala/Zamboni for AMO

Krupa, Marlena, and I (PHB) agree that we'll:
- Continue to develop new tests from Pivotal Tracker/uncaught regressions, while:
- Trying to maintain the current coverage in our legacy tests (where the benefit > cost-to-fix, and where we have gaps in the new suite
- Currently having an ongoing discussion in email about how to improve our syntax
- Planning the next testday with softvision -short meeting after the meeting to discuss today.
