Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

Memshrink (njn)

Timothy Nikkel fixed some janky scrolling on pages with many small images caused by his big fix for image-heavy pages. Hopefully this will now allow the big fix to progress through to release builds, and ameliorate a big chunk of the #1 MemShrink big ticket item.

Justin Lebar and Andrew McCreight fixed an IPC leak that was causing problems in long-running B2G sessions.

Roundtable

(Comments and questions that arise during the course of the meeting or otherwise do not have a section.)

<Read only beyond this point>

Mailing List Threads

(Threads that are likely to be of interest to engineering from various mailing lists.)

• firefox-dev
  • Assessing stability of new JavaScript features (gps)
  • Downloads API update update (paolo)

Good Reads

(Links to blog posts, books, videos, etc. that you think will be of interest to others.)
