Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Key Issues

(Non team specific issues that impact engineering.)

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Accessibility (dbolter)

• New bugzilla flag! "a11y-review"
  • Definition/Usage: This flag is used to ask the accessibility team to look over a bug. Typically used if a bug has the potential to affect accessibility, regresses accessibility, and/or is a new user facing feature.
  • Currently available for these products: Firefox, Firefox for Android, Core, Toolkit, Firefox OS.
  • We're here to help.

B2G Services (dougt)

• Blog posted on stumbling. Created 4 new developers, lots of interest.

Media (mreavy)

<Read Only>

• IETF conference is this week, W3 conference is the week after. Several WebRTC team members are at these.
• Update to webrtc.org code (moving to version 3.43) will probably land this week. If you have questions, please contact Randell Jesup.

Quality Programs

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

MemShrink (njn)

The trees were closed for several days due to shutdown leaks. From the post-mortem:

TL;DR: Win7 M2 and Mbc test were OOMing frequently at shutdown because too many DOM windows were open. This was due to a combination of: (a) multiple badly written tests, (b) multiple social API leaks, (c) multiple devtool leaks. Bug 932898 will improve our shutdown leak detection; bug 934288 may also help. Bug 932900 will (if implemented) will make some of these leaks impossible(?).

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.)

Good Reads

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