  • Clear Private Data
  • Request Desktop Site
  • Search Suggestions (defaulted off)
  • History and Bookmark Import
  • Start Page for Tablets
  • Flash on Honeycomb
  • ARMv6

  • Reading Mode and List
  • WebApp RT
  • Helper Apps

Services

Market Insights

Desktop / Platform

Google

  • The development channels for Chrome and ChromeOS now support packaged apps, HTML5 apps that can run outside the browser, are offline by default, have APIs to support multiple windows, and allow embedding of web content.
  • Google Chrome won the latest Tom’s Hardware Web Browser Grand Prix. Chrome 20, with 19 points, beat out Firefox 13 and Opera 12. This marked the first time in some years that Chrome beat Firefox.

Microsoft

  • Microsoft is in serious trouble with EU authorities after it revealed that it shipped tens of millions of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 updated computers without including the required “browser ballot” screen, which allows users to select which web browser they want as default. It turns out one of their users warned them in a support forum shortly after the release, but was ignored. Microsoft could be forced to pay 10% of revenues, theoretically up to approximately $8b, although the maximum fine ever levied has been $1.3b
  • While Microsoft disabled checking of the Content-Length header in IE9’s download tool, they have added it back for IE10.
  • IE10’s User Agent string will have “Touch” and “ARM” tokens when appropriate

Opera

Sleipnir

  • The Sleipnir web browser has released “App Linker”, which seamlessly allows users to send phone numbers, addresses, etc from their desktop browser to their iOS or Android smartphone

WebKit

Mobile

Summary below, full update here and in your inbox.

  • Google released stable versions of Chrome on Android and iOS, a new version of Android (Jelly Bean) and a 7-inch Nexus tablet
  • Adobe to be discontinuing Flash support for Android devices
  • Gingerbread now on 64% of the market, Froyo on 17%, ICS on 11% and Eclair on 5%
  • Deutsche Telekom to launch application component marketplace
  • Telefonica partnered with Facebook, Google, Microsoft and RIM to provide carrier billing
  • Smartphones surpassed feature phone shipments in China for the first time
  • Network operators investigating Wi-Fi as alternative data network infrastructure

  • MozCamp preparation continues

      • If you didn’t get yours, please get in touch with Anne-Marie.
    • Working on Friday’s Thunderbird sessions.
      • It would be helpful for the Addon-Editors if we could figure out what times we want.
      • All Friday. A couple of timeslots on Saturday and Sunday, time depending on MozCamp organizers.

Build / Release Update

  • Thunderbird 14.0 and 10.0.6esr on deck for release
  • Working on bug 772446 – Migrate desktop linux firefox builds to mock slaves. Thunderbird will also benefit from these changes.

Documentation

Support

  • At a SUMO event.
  • Will fill this out later.

Lightning Updates

Status Updates

See the Mozilla Status Board for status updates specific to developers.

Roundtable Highlights

  • It’s hard to view Thunderbird as a business, because the business aspects are quite closed.
    • On the other hand, the same is true with Firefox.
    • rkent feels that the problem with Thunderbird is a success as a product, but a failure as a business.
      • But the developers aren’t being taken away because it’s a business failure, it’s that it doesn’t drive the Mozilla mission.
      • And that’s a failure to find the right organizational home, not a business failure.
  • rkent feels that Thunderbird’s community strategy conflicts with Thunderbird’s Mozilla’s strategy?
    • (For instance) Mozilla seems to view the user as a single person checking their email casually at home.
    • But the typical Thunderbird user is someone trying to get something done at the office.
    • It seems to bwinton like the new direction for Thunderbird lines up better with the community’s direction.
      • Less change, and the community will focus on the things that are important to it.
  • And then time kind of ran out, but we all feel that rkent should post to tb-planning to continue the discussion.

Stability Report

Socorro

  • Incremental release on Wednesday will not bring much new, some admin UI cleanup.

Mobile

  • Highlights
    • B2G Testing is going to be taking more of my time
    • Jelly Bean, Cyanogenmod quitting and the onPrepareOptionsMenu crash bugs are the ones to watch for release
    • Aurora is more unstable than Nightly; Chances are that this initial beta will be unstable comparitively and it would be nice to fix some of these issues before we release in beta.
    • more libxul signatures in nightly. Will be investigating correlations in why this is occurring.
    • Beta has a bunch of flash crashes listed in the top 10 bugs : bug 732059, bug 759109, bug 732059, bug 750217, bug 758259

    4. bug 765463 – java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: at java.nio.Buffer.limit(Buffer.java) … (fixed)

Mobile Web Compatibility

  • Mobile Web compatibility is about more than making the mobile Web work on Gecko
    • Evangelize the use of techniques that work across browsers such as detection of “Mobi” in UA string
    • …but all of our testing is performed with Firefox on Android and Firefox OS
  • Four compatibility issues
    • UA sniffing – sending Firefox the wrong site

  • We are working on a variety of tactics to tackle these issues
    • Evangelism to the Web dev community on how to develop mobile sites that work in non Webkit browsers
    • Site specific investigation and outreach to report issues and work to get fixes
    • Ditto for Web frameworks ^

    • Changes to our platform
      • Unprefixing CSS properties
      • Investigation into aliasing select Webkit CSS prefixes

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

  • IanN to arrange with Jeff to send a tee-shirt or something to Serge (FotFT).
    • Serge is slowly working his way through his mail backlog. Thinks his ISP blocked IanNs emails as spam.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • All our machines are now all out of SJC1 are are now at SCL3 or SCL1 (bug 721516).
    • Setting up SM VMs finished (bug 740613)

    • The R4 Macs are plugged-in, connected and base-imaged. Waiting on Callek to complete the setup.
    • cb-seamonkey-linux-01 is back in action, so we’re now at 3 Linux build slaves.
    • cb-seamonkey-linux-01 is AWOL again. bug 772055
      • and is not coming back up. It has breathed its last breath. Gone. Belly up. Bought the farm. Gone to the digital valhalla.
    • Next on Callek’s agenda is the linux32 VM build-up.
      • sea-vm-linux32-2 is up (bug 768379)
      • sea-vm-linux32-1 was renamed from cb-sea-linux-tbox.
  • ewong and Callek are working on building on MSVC2010.
    • bug 755626 tracks the progress of changing sea-win32-02 to using MSVC2010.
    • Currently done. Trunk builds are now MSVC2010.
    • SeaMonkey Aurora will migrate to MSVC2010 this week, Callek will likely do the switch/checkin on Wednesday if everything else looks good.
  • L10n Update: (2012-05-20): l10n buildbots are building again on all three platforms for be, de, en-GB, es-AR, gl, hu, it, lt, nl, ru, sk, uk, zh-CN and zh-TW. Still nothing since end of April for cs, es-ES, fr, nb-NO, pl, pt-PT and sv-SE.
    • We currently have issues with l10n repacks on aurora/trunk, Callek didn’t get time this past weekend to peek at it. The issue relates to some of the very complex build-system logic we have, so it will take someone with time and understanding to investigate (< 10 hours of work). Callek will try and work on this weekend.

Release Train

  • 2.11b4 shipped July 1
  • 2.11b5 shipped July 6
  • 2.10.2 planned (no ETA yet) as we are waiting on Firefox 13.0.2 which is on hold.
    • in line with FF 13.0.2 “to help with uptake of Flash 11.3.300.262”
    • probably won’t happen as uptake of Flash did well without it
  • Next Aurora/Beta uplift is July 16, with 2.11 release following July 17
    • Everyone please take care to finish and land bugs that impact L10n in time (e.g. bug 746110).
    • InvisibleSmiley will be mostly AFK during that time.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.
  • Addon Compatibility Listings
    • Nothing to highlight.
  • Our build team (Serge, Callek, ewong) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
    • sgautherie thinks that the current DOMi branches/tags are not suitable for automatic SeaMonkey branch selection.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • 2.10 had ~76,300 ADU by last Tuesday and 2.10.1 had ~83,300 downloads so far.
    • Of the released versions, as of last Tuesday, we have 13.0% on 2.0, 4.2% on 2.1-2.3, 6.6% on 2.4-2.6, 2.7% on 2.7, 4.8% on 2.8, 8.6% on 2.9 and 60.1% on 2.10. So, in the last two weeks, ~1.8k (an additional 1.5% of ADU) have migrated to 2.7 or above.
    • Since 19th June ADU numbers have been dropping, any ideas why?
      • Firefox has also seen numbers dropping. People have suggested that this is the normal summer drop that we’ve seen in past years.
    • Some people cannot upgrade due to system requirements (OS version, processor capabilities etc.). This even more applies to 2.10 which dropped support for Win2k and WinXP without SP2.
    • The current plan is to create a new page for latest builds available for “Legacy Platforms” e.g. PPC containing links to 2.6.1 PowerPC/G4 and also perhaps to seamonkey-ppc (2.10 and 2.11b3 for OSX 10.5.8) TenFourFox and Tenfourbird. We can then link to that from our main release page. See bug 759315.
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

2.10

open tracking (0)
tracking requests (2)
targeted (0)
fixed (17)

  • One tracked 2.5 issue still open.
    • 2.1 through 2.7 have NOT included the ka (Kartvelian aka Georgian) locale. The last release with ka locale shipped was 2.0.14 and the ka l10n maintainers have not yet updated for changes in later SeaMonkey versions.
    • The plan was that Callek now needs to morph bug 667147 into removing |ka| from our [current] automation entirely (all-locales), and will look at the best locale to transition any ka users to.
      • Plan is to migrate ka users to en-US with an English dialog saying they are out of date, and a link to the all-locales page if there is a language they understand better. Current ADU of ka alone is 3-5 individuals, so low impact.~Callek
      • Callek and ewong were working on this but they didn’t manage to get this done by the time 2.9 shipped. No new ETA unfortunately.
      • Seems like the ka locale maintainer finally turned up, so hopefully ka will be revived.

2.Next

  • TBD

Roundtable – Personal Status Updates

Status Updates from developers – what are you working on, what’s the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

Good First Bugs:

  • Two weeks ago Ratty trawled through his notes and came up with a list of GFBs. See: Google groups post and Bugzilla listing.
  • Of the 17 GFBs, one was fixed by Sergey (bug 767353), and three by Ekanan Ketunuti (bug 767913, bug 767916, and bug 767920).
  • Three are currently assigned (bug 695255, bug 715410, and bug 767919).
  • [Ratty] I probably seeded this GFB list with too many one line fixes which were all grabbed first and the harder ones mostly untouched. Perhaps in the next round we should focus more on medium difficulty GFBs. I propose to wait one more week and if there are no takers I’ll encourage our regular contributors to take over the remaining GFBs. I think perhaps we should also do more publicity in the mozillazine forums and newsgroups, perhaps target existing extension authors.
  • Neil suggests we could get some Services conversions going as GFBs.

Any other business?

  • Bug Day: Should we looking to do a bug busting day in the next 3 months?
    • Useful link: [1].
    • We could email the members list and ask for suggestions for a set of components to target.
    • Would it be better to do it during the holidays or after they end?
  • Geolocation
    • Geolocation now works out of the box. MoCo turned it on by default for all applications that build off mozilla-central.
    • For comm-beta all we need to do is (bug 494421) to add pref("geo.wifi.uri", "https://www.google.com/loc/json"); to browser-prefs.js. However we’re not even sure we are legally allowed to ship with the URL in, we might need to actually put in a pref to disable that in newer builds.
    • No news to date. Callek will have to reach out to his MoCo legal contact again soonish.
  • Test failures
    • qawanted, especially on Linux and MacOSX specific issues: reproducing and reporting would already help.
    • Serge says that on Linux and MacOSX, he just needs someone to actually run the tests and report what they see (screen, console, etc). For example, there is a Mac test about Ctrl+W not working. This should be so trivial.
    • tonymec suggests that any enthusiastic user, even non-technical, should be able to do some testing (litmus?) and not be scared by technical language and such.
    • IanN suggests reaching out to the user community using the newsgroups and forums.
    • Serge to do a write up and send it to Ratty to propagate to the community.
      • Ratty is ***still*** waiting for Serge.

Roundtable Highlights

NOTE: there are undoubtedly errors/omissions in the discussion notes below. Please clarify with the original speaker if needed.

Current proposal:

  • we are going to maintain two versions of the product after November 12, 2012: ESR and Thunderbird
    • proposal is to base them on gecko 17
  • when there are enough contributions, we might want to consider a release that is off the cycle of the ESR release.

Questions?

Kent: we get such a different feeling when you look into the reports from the different media. There is a disconnect from the internal and external teams. Can you comment on how you hope to make this transition? Appears Mozilla have not been very successful in building community backing so far.

JB: we have a few months ahead of us to give TB an escape velocity, just like a satellite is given energy to escape gravity. We have to launch TB on a ramp and give it as much speed as possible. We’re no sure, frankly, that we are going to succeed in this. We may or may not have a vibrant community ahead of us, but we try as hard as we can. We will continue to update the engine to keep it safe and stable for the next several years. We are creating an environment to accept contributions into the product. It is also the community’s responsibility to take ownership to take responsibility for things that are important for him or her. Success in the community absolutely necessary for Thunderbird to continue to survive. It is the best Mozilla is able to do.

Kent: who is going to take the work to update gecko

JB: in the 6-7 areas that are required (support, webdev, qa, backend engineering, release engineering, …) we are reducing effort but not it is not disappearing.

Kent: concerned about this disconnect that is evident on the mailing lists. Has been there for a long time. When David Ascher came on a long time ago, was surprised to see the negativity. Is that normal or unique to TB? What can we do to get around that?

JH: several years old bugs have been a source of some negativity.

JB: we only talk about late trains and things that don’t work. We don’t talk about trains that are on time. The reality is this product is used by over 20m users worldwide. If it was so bad, people would not use it. We have a fairly small community.

Josh: the leaked email caused a lot of negative comments. Should Mozilla respond?

JB: there is a good article called “beyond the code” where we have more space to go into where we’re going and why. Some new innovations before TB 17 should help erase some of the negativity.

JH: not enough attention given to the team we have that is managing releases out the door and supporting the product. That is huge.

Kent: the support that Mozilla is giving is really appreciated. Without that it would be very hard to maintain this product.

JB: want to set up a wiki page to house the questions and answers to be updated weekly. This living document will outline how we progress to November.

Kent: at some point we have to figure out a way to not be in so control yourselves (Mozilla). If we continue to own the project but aren’t supporting it in the long term,

standard8: need discussion on the governance of this product

JB: want to give maximum flexibility to those people who want to contribute. Module owners bringing in community-provided patches based on user experience merit. The only veto that we want to have, because it is _Mozilla_ Thunderbird, nothing goes against our policies or impacts our brand. That is the only level of control we need to have. Other people can join the release driver’s team.

standard8: David [Bienvenu] has said he at least wants to finish maildir support, but he’s not sure about scheduling yet. Within the rest of the team, we’re capable to take on the fixes he’s been doing. Not too many concerns there.

Josh: was some kind of communication between TB and B2G people. Future plans?

JB: thought initially that because of the expertise we have on mail, there was a clear path from TB to B2G mail. As it turns out, they have gone to a totally different paradigm. Cannot accept any C-language code. Built from the ground up. Some of the former TB expertise are working on it, but there is no direct correlation.

Kent: could we provide a list of who these community people might be who could be involved.

JB: Mozilla is not in a position to say who is taking on responsibilities. Have had a little people in touch but not many.

wayne: one way to find out whether you have someone who is going to be involved, invite the people who are complaining to do something specific and see if they carry it through. Invite them to be involved in something – sometimes the biggest complainers become the biggest contributors community, [1], too much sympathy, the psychology. The alternative is you don’t necessarily have a lot of people coming forward – sometimes you have to invite people. On governance, maybe someone from the community at large be one of the release drivers, be a vested spokesperson. could be a module owner or someone else who’s been involved. Without a separate group involved driving the product, there needs to be someone in release drivers.

Kent: in non-profits, even if they only have 2-3 people doing the work, the board of directors could be 20-30 people showing interest. in thunderbird we are in total control.

wayne: someone to show that the community is important.

standard8: up to bienvenu to announce that he is leaving.

JB: how do we improve communication between team members (paid and non-paid). the best answer is let’s work together. We want to treat this team of volunteers and paid staff the best way.

Josh: should we have a separate core contributors list?

standard8: Shouldn’t need that. mozillians or tb-planning are good ways for people to communicate. If you do have a core contributors list where do you draw the line between core and fringe contributors?

Andreas: a lot of features have been driven by paid staff. might have given the impression that it is just paid staff talking to each other. since the feature will be given over to the community, will hoepfully have more open discussion about new features.

kent: mozilla does volunteer/paid staff better than most organizations, but it’s always difficult.

standard8: it’s a balance that we’ve always got to keep working on. would like to think that we’re heading in the right direction at least. we’ve picked up new contributors in the past few months. we just have to keep on working towards it. be accountable to each other.
