Firefox Mobile

Current Releases

Google Star rating is *visual* 4.5 stars. We are tracking 4.25 for GA in actuality but the visual tipping point is a result of lot’s of hard work
https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/f4488e366b91

Beta (21)

  • We are backing out the fix for this crash because it blocks too many JB devices. We are considering doing a final beta to increase our confidence prior to GA: bug 853522 – crash in mozilla::MediaPluginHost::DestroyDecoder @ libstagefright.so@0xd… on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with espresso & espresso10 hw running JB

  • Otherwise, we just signed off on Fx21, this will include a push to the Yandex Store

Aurora (22)

  • The Dynamic URL bar (a.k.a Toolbar) has been deferred from Fx22. It remains enabled in Fx23 for testing and convergence

  • Slovak will replace Turkish as the next locale to add support for and it is slated for Fx22
  • Otherwise, double tap reflow-on-zoom, New Tab UI, ANR reporter, Async Canvas Playback

Nightly (23)

Services

Firefox Health Report

  • On track to ship in desktop with Fx21

  • Will hit Android for either 23 or 24
  • Dashboards are still coming, but we can get useful data for Nightly/Aurora/Beta, ask mconnor+gps if you have questions.

Product Announcements

  • No updates.

Feedback Summary

Desktop

USR 20 should be available later this week.

  • Flash – We are still seeing as much (or more) negative feedback about flash stutter or generally causing a poor experience. Crashkill team reports that Flash crashes are down on beta but it seems to just result in more jerkiness complaints on beta, not sure it’s actually improved the feedback.

  • Popups – We are seeing a significantly increased amount of popup reports in both Release and Beta. Assuming it is new malware.

Mobile

Meeting this week to plan a strategy around replying to 1-star reviews on Google Play.

Getting ready for Firefox 21.

User Experience (Design and Research)

  • [WebRTC] Ramping up! (Boriss)
  • [metro] (yuan)

    • Sync UI adjustments:

    • Solution for Auto-complete page: mockup.
    • Notification for adding a bookmark: video
    • Solution for a new Metro & desktop update preference bug 866229

Market Insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team

Desktop / Platform

Google

  • On iOS, Google has now enabled app developers to integrate Chrome within their mobile applications.

  • Chrome Beta on Windows and Mac now supports the Chrome Office Viewer, an extension which provides seamless viewing of Microsoft Office files in the browser.
  • Google Translate added Bosnian, Cebuano, Hmong, Javanese and Marathi, bringing the total number of languages supported to more than 70

Microsoft

Tizen

WebKit

  • WebKit released SunSpider 1.0, an updated version of the Javascript benchmark. Among other improvements, delays between tests have been eliminated so it runs up to twice as fast.

Mobile

  • 2013 is the first year that people will buy more tablets than PCs. There will be 256 million tablets sold and 183 million PCs this year. By 2017 the number of tablets shipped will reach half a billion. This is part of a larger trend of sustaining big growth for tablets, at the rate of 67% year – over – year and a decline in PC shipments, by 10% a year.
  • New Android version distribution numbers put Gingerbread at 38.5%, Jelly Bean at 28.4% and Ice Cream Sandwich at 27.5%.
  • Shipments of smartphones in 8 major developed markets and China put Android ahead with 64.2% on average and 68.8% across the EU, 45.8% in Japan, 61.7% in Australia and 49.3% in the US. iOS is shipped on between 19.4% of devices in the EU to 49.2% of them in Japan. Top device models in the surveyed countries are the iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S III, the iPhone 4S, the Galaxy S III Mini, the Galaxy Ace, iPhone 4, LG Nexus 4, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy s II and the Blackberry Curve.
  • Developer builds of Chrome OS feature a touch – screen keyboard. Important because it could mean plans to deploy the OS on tablets.
  • Google has hired a Chief Game Designer. Gaming is one of the top app categories downloaded through the Play Store
  • The first two Tizen phones will be in the mid – end to high – end range and code – named Redwood and Melius.
  • Opera partnered with 7 Indian phone and tablet manufacturers such as Celkon, Karbonn, Lava, Intex, Fly, Zen and HCL ME to have Opera Mini pre – installed on their Android devices.

Products/Projects

Firefox Desktop

Australis progress
Performance
  • Drew landed the background tab thumbnailing service. Uses a remote browser to capture thumbnails without main-thread impact (bug 841495).
  • The JS Internationalization API has been enabled (bug 853301); there may still be some issues to work through, but people should start experimenting with it now

Firefox Mobile

Blog shout out
Usability, Responsiveness, and New Features
  • We stopped packaging a whole ton of files as part of the multi-locale builds. If you see any regressions, please file a bug and CC :Pike. bug 792077, bug 848297

  • Fixed regressions to async canvas updates bug 863223
  • Add a force override preference for Reader Mode availability on low-mem devices landed in Fx23 bug 852417
  • Dynamic Toolbar is being disabled for Fx22 but is still enabled for Fx23 so please keep on using it so we can make it great!
Stability Wins
  • Uplifted to Fx22 Bug 863288 – java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeByteArray(Native Method) at org.mozilla.gecko.AboutHomeContent/TopSitesView.getThumbnailsFromCursor(TopSitesView.java)

  • Landed in Nightly: bug 864339 – Crash on ‘New PrivatTab@org.mozilla.gecko.mozglue.NativeZip.createInputStream(NativeZip.java:71
  • Also landed in nightly: bug 863477 – SurfaceCaps assertion failure in GLContext::UpdatePixelFormat() when playing Flash video

Stability

  • Nothing this week, we look decent on all channels right now (we need people to work on the harder, long-term issues, of course).

OrangeFactor

  • Past week’s OrangeFactor: 7.63 (Previous Week: 7.31).

  • No significant changes from last week.
  • bug 858948 (frequent Windows mochitest-2 leak) still needs an owner. Previous attempts have failed.
  • bug 866470 (ASSERTION: Should not be trying to paint a background color if we don’t have one: ‘drawBackgroundColor’ in layout/reftests/bugs/289480.html) is recent, frequent, and un-owned.
  • 15 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

Performance

  • bug 852467: nsDisableOldMaxSmartSizePrefEvent runs on the gecko main thread, blocks for long periods of time

  • bug 649216: Remove unnecessary delay when clicking tab close buttons sequentially
  • bug 699331: Reduce impact of font name enumeration at startup

Metro

  • Although Metro work is riding the trains, it’s all behind an ifdef (MOZ_METRO) which is only turned on in Nightly.

  • Current expected work complete date for v1 is November 19th, although it has been moving up due to faster velocity in the recent iterations (so it may move up more).
  • Tier 1 status? No, but we will be. The main step in progress towards this is releng work to turn on mochitests (bug 864418).
  • Waiting for OMTC to land for a bunch of panning/zooming work.
  • Other than OMTC, largely what’s remaining for v1 work is front end work.
  • Most of the progress from the Metro team is in the form of front end work.
  • Elm users (Where Metro development began) have been migrated from elm to m-c.
  • Software updates through the Metro interface, will be offered trough the about flyout and silently in the background.
    • Some changes for that included upgrading while another browser from the same install is open.
  • May 13th – May 17th will be the 2nd Metro work week in the Vancouver office.
  • Sprint 5 and sprint 6 were recently completed, and Sprint 7 is in progress.

Roundtable

Build system PSA

  •  :joey and :mshal from RelEng are focusing on work that :gps are initiated on migrating Makefile.in -> moz.build

    • bug 847009

    • what other pain points are you hitting with the build system? PGO? universal builds? tests? please get in touch with Joey, Mike or Gregory

Should we switch from hg to git?

It’s becoming more and more clear that the version control system of choice for open source development these days is git. The question is, should Mozilla engineering switch from Mercurial to Git?. As most people already know, lots of Mozilla hackers already use git for various types of work, and some of our significant projects also already use git (Gaia, Rust, Servo, etc). Lots of Gecko hackers also already use git for their work on mozilla-central, through various conversions from hg to git.

One inevitable question that this raises is whether we’re also switching to hosting Gecko development on Github, and the answer to that question is no. We’ve been in talks with Github, but we will not get the reliability guarantees we need nor the flexibility we need if we were to host Gecko development on Github, i.e. Github issues not being powerful enough, pull request data outside of our control, etc).

As for switching the source control system from hg to git, here’s some of the benefits:

  • Simplified on-boarding, people generally know git, but generally don’t know hg.

  • We already mirror hg to git (in more than one way), git is already a necessary part of most of our lives and unifying our tools where we can is a good thing.
  • Branches! The ability to have “everything you want” in a single local repository (independently of how the repositories are hosted remotely). I.e. m-c, aurora, beta, release, user repositories, project branches and more as needed, no matter where the different branches are hosted.
  • No need for multiple local repositories, many working directories per repository.
  • Simplifies the path for better review tools and change workflows.
  • Opens the door for a pull-request like model for accepting changes.
  • Better merge algorithms, no more orphan patches that no longer apply cleanly.
  • Easier collaboration through shared branches.
  • Full history, all of hg and CVS!
  • OMG interactive rebase (squashing, removing, reordering, editing commits)
  • ZOMG git add –patch (selective change committing for splitting changes into multiple commits).
  • Works well with github, even though we’re not switching to github as the ultimate source of truth.
  • New tool to learn for those who have not already needed to learn it.

  • Performance of git on windows is sub-optimal (we’re already working on it).
  • Need to incorporate git into our windows build tools.
  • Lots of infrastructure work needed to make this switch.

Firefox/Gecko Delivery Planning: 2013-05-01

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 11:00 pm

Schedule & Progress onUpcoming Releases

Firefox Desktop

Beta (21)

  • We Shipped FF21.0b4 last week

  • Fx21.0b5 for Desktop was shipped on Monday due to build specific AMD Radeon top-crasher – bug 865701
    • The avg crash-rate per 100 ADI was roughly doubled compared to earlier beta’s which was a strong driver for shipping 21.0b5
  • Fx21.0b6(our second last beta) went to build yesterday, planned to release before Friday

Firefox Metro

(Read Only)

  • Iteration #6 ended on April 30.

  • Status report to be distributed on Friday May 3.
  • Review and planning session for Iteration #7 is happening today.
  • We have enough performance data to add Best Case (no later than) and Worst Case (no earlier than) scenarios to our release forecast.
  • Product Manager conducted a major review of Story Backlog to adjust priority levels of feature stories.

Firefox Mobile

Beta (21)

Aurora (22)

  • Uplifted: bug 850489 – Settings page background switches between blue and white on Nexus S and bug 863095 – Don’t refresh AboutHomeContent in onResume()

  • Also fixed for Fx22: bug 863490 – Unloading page with embedded YouTube Flash video logs “grabbing the JNIEnv from the wrong thread” errors
  • We opted to also uplift a stability win: bug 847834 – java.lang.NullPointerException: at org.mozilla.gecko.BrowserApp.onActivityResult(BrowserApp.java)
  • Decision made: we are disabling Dynamic Toolbar for Fx22 and will work on getting it to a shippable state for hopefully Fx23. Great progress on fixes but it is too risky to uplift them this late in the cycle: bug 716403

Nightly (23)

  • UI Hackathon last week, lot’s of great fixes landed so check us out: ui-hackathon bugs during the sprint. Lucas has a wrap-up post that goes into more detail.

  • L10n repack changesbug 792077 : We stopped packaging a whole ton of files as part of the multi-locale builds. If you see any regressions, please file a bug and CC :Pike.
  • bug 858687 – BrowserToolbar’s menu button is optional
  • Nice A4A fix: bug 853456 – target=_blank doesn’t work with <img> links
  • We heard from a few folks on IRC about having issues with browsing on Nightly, this fix should take care of things so check the latest nightly and report any further problems you run into: bug 863803 – LayerView not shown after resuming from an OOM kill

Firefox Health Report

  • Final Fx21 readiness/sign-off discussion today at FHR meeting

  • Still working on the long-term roadmap
  • Android version moving forward

Product Announcements

  • No update this week.

Feedback Summary

Desktop

Desktop is quite stable. This week we are working on Firefox Sentiment Report 20. Should be available early next week.

  • Beta Snippet survey went out.

    • 4.1 star average

    • No specific question so very little useful feedback
    • Some interesting points:
      • Possibly an issue with hanging

        • “for the last few days it has been creating problems like whenever i open it and go from one tab to second tab it hangs and i have to shut down my computer to start it again.”

        • “Firefox does not respond when opening more than 50% of the time. Had to open and close it 5 times. At other times one restart fixes it. Also hangs when more than 6 tabs open. I even try with all other apps closed.”
        • “Also, when a website has a lot of content or I am loading many webpages at once the interface at the top (the part with the tabs etc.) goes Not Responding for a few seconds.”
      • New malware? Quite a few busted search/redirected pages/fake ad-links in content complaints.
  • Aurora snippet survey only has 50 responses, 4.2 stars but that’s hazy.
    • No mention of cookie-related issues but there’s very little actual commentary, a few feature requests.

Market Insights from the Product Marketing Strategy Team

Mobile

  • Intel has showed its support for the acquisition of US carrier Sprint by SoftBank, a Japanese network operator. The move comes as the Dish Network, a TV and satellite service provider, has also entered a bid. Sprint is the third largest US mobile broadband provider, with 12% of the market. SoftBank is one of the backers of Tizen.
  • Samsung is preparing to launch a water- and dustproof version of the Galaxy S 4, which would be called the Galaxy S 4 Active. Similar are rumored to be in the plans for some of the tablet and of the Note line devices.
  • Google has explicitly banned the update of apps through means outside of the Play Store, if they had been installed through it. This has been interpreted short – term to be a measure to affect the Facebook app, which had been doing so.
  • Q1 smartphone shipment numbers are out. Samsung sold most devices (70.7 million), with 32.7% of the market, according to IDC. It is followed by Apple (37.4 million) with 17.3% and LG (10.3 million) with 4.8%. The last 3 in the top 5 are the Chine OEMs, Huawei and ZTE, with 4.6%, and 4.2%, respectively. In the overall phone segment, Samsung is also number 1, with 115 million and 27.5% of the market, followed by Nokia with 61.9 million and 14.8%. Apple is on 3rd place with 8.9% and LG is fourth with 3.7%.
  • Opera released stats about its Indian user base: top domains visited are for social networking, search and cricket. 21% of the traffic is for Facebook, followed by Google at 5.8% and ESPNcricinfo at 1.7%. Almost 50% of the top 100 domains visited are related to news and information, search, price comparison and e-commerce. 9 out of the top 10 Android handsets used are from Samsung, followed by Sony and Micromax. Each of the top 10 Android devices cost less than 186 USD except the last one, the Galaxy S 2, which ranks last. The typical profile of an Opera Mini Android user in India is between 18 to 24 years old, lives in an urban area, attends college or works as a full-time employee and surfs the Web at least 1 hour every day. Opera is the top used mobile browser in India according to StatsCounter.
  • Microsoft released an app and marketing campaign to entice users to switch from Android to Windows Phone. The app lets the user check whether her apps are available in the WP store and recommends similar ones if they are not.

Marketing, Press & Public Reaction

Another Badge Unlocked — 15 Million Facebook Fans (Who Are Mostly Young Dudes)

  • This week, Mozilla Firefox reached 15 million Facebook fans! Congrats to everyone who helped make this happen over the years

  • The stronger we can make our “owned channels” like this, the more power we’ll have to spread the word about our mission and products
  • The UX, Web and Product teams are working on a in-product Australis onboarding experience with the aim to help users learn about the new design by interacting directly with it via the web

  • What do I mean? Imagine hovering over a graphic on a web page and then seeing the Awesome Bar light up.
  • This is a best practice in software since it’s an extremely effective way to share product changes with users.
  • See a rough concept in action here http://people.mozilla.com/~csonne/firstrunv2.mov

SeaMonkey: 2013-04-30

Filed under: Posts — Tags: — Jesper Kristensen @ 11:00 pm

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> mcsmurf

  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank:
    • mcsmurf for fixing many tests (nominated by Callek)

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

  • Need to reward the nominees of the friends of the fish tank from this year!

CLOSED

  • —

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • No Windows langpacks since 8th April on trunk. Needs investigating.

    • Comment from mcsmurf on this: Not clear what is meant by this, please clarify. xpi/win32/ folders on FTP server look fine. Also file a bug if something needs to be investigated/fixed.
  • The Java on Linux bug has been tracked down to being due to our (SM’s) build config. Basically our RelEng team needs to check whether we can switch to linking libstdc++ dynamically, like FF and TB do. See: bug 754622 Oracle/Sun Java jre1.7.0_04 and later does not work in SeaMonkey.
    • In the mean time, InvisibleSmiley has added the workaround to the 2.17 and 2.18 release notes.
  • Tinderbox is going to be EOLed. We need to move the SeaMonkey tinderboxpushlog off. See:
    • Mostly done now, just a few loose ends.

    • Callek has gotten up and running a newer version of TBPL (that doesn’t depend on tinderbox) for testing. This will be deployed eventually to replace the current TBPL code we are running.
    • Mcsmurf needs to talk to Callek to see if tbpl can get more memory (some PHP(?) setting?) as sometimes fetching a log fails due to not enough memory (See bug 845844).
  • Intermittent issue with Mac OSX64 Debug Leak log comprehension. Issue tracked in bug 774844. Also see possibly related Thunderbird bug 806492..
  • Two remaining machines on Parallels are the buildmaster (cb-seamonkey-linuxmaster-01) and Linux64 (cb-seamonkey-linux64-01). These need to be migrated to ESX. Specifically:
    • sea-vm-linux64-1 will replace cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 (and is ready to go)

    • sea-master1 will replace the current buildmaster.
  • bug 740633 set up seamonkey HPs in scl3. Hardware installed and iLO configured. CentOS 6.3 installed.
    • Awaiting puppetmaster fully prepared to instantiate as Linux Mock-Based slaves
  • sea-puppet (one of said hp machines) is ready to be configured as a puppet master (bug 827079), needs audit of the manifests and settings creation.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* eventually. Jcrammer is working on this.
  • release.mozilla.org doesn’t seem to be tracking the SeaMonkey project anymore. Need to ping Callek. (bug 850339)

Fixed Stuff Since Last Meeting

  • bug 843356 [Tracking bug] remove SeaMonkey dependency on tinderbox.mozilla.org.

  • bug 865976 Cannot build SeaMonkey on Linux since Bug 842927 (Implement DOM3 KeyboardEvent.key only for non-prin…
    • Bad hack :)

Release Train

  • SeaMonkey 2.18b2 shipped April 19.

  • SeaMonkey 2.18b3 shipped April 27.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • See Basics page. Please only list current changes here.

  • Addon Compatibility Listings
  • There are now Lightning versions for both SM 2.17.x (Lightning 2.2b1) and SM 2.18 betas (Lightning 2.3b1) available on AMO.
    • Might need to point out in release notes that users needs to install the Lightning beta versions for the SeaMonkey releases (as Lightning follows Thunderbird 17.0.x release schedule)
  • Shipped extensions (DOMI, CZ, Venkman) compatibility:
    • Extensions are now compatible by default thus mitigating the issue. Although some people still disable c-b-d and run into issues.

    • SeaMonkey 2.18 will ship ChatZilla 0.9.90
  • Our build team (Callek, ewong, Serge) needs to automate DOMI branch selection rather than having to tweak the client.py every 6 weeks. bug 763506
  • Callek made some changes to the tags that SM pulls (CZ, Venkman, DOMI) for comm-central. See comm-central changeset 347b255c4810.
  • Nightly Tester Tools is being actively developed by xabolcs (coder) and whimboo (reviewer) to make it more compatible with comm-central in general and SeaMonkey in particular. See Issues · mozilla/nightlytt · GitHub.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

  • [From a previous meeting:] There is a problem with the metrics server, so no current data is available

  • 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, and 2.14 dropping Mac OS X 10.5 support.
    • We now have a webpage for contributed builds available for “Legacy Platforms” like PPC (bug 759315)
  • See Basics page for the usual reminders.

    • bug 737615 Remove use of synchronous cache API from unit tests. Tracked in:
      • bug 804972 Remove synchronous calls to nsICacheSession::openCacheEntry in SeaMonkey tests.

      • Mcsmurf says this is almost fixed but there was a test failure. He will close this bug and open a new one for the failure.
    • bug 793634 Force builds to be compatible with gtk 2.18/glib 2.22. Tracked in:

Feature List, Planning

Private Browsing is now mostly complete and uplifted to 2.18. Most things should work but some edge cases have probably been missed. Hopefully any remaining bugs will be found before its release.

  • Testing would be appreciated! Please file bugs as blocking the meta bug 460895.

  • We need to figure out if we want a new about:privatebrowsing page which someone will have to write. We also don’t have any help content yet.

Bug statistics for the last two (full) weeks: 48 new, 16 fixed, 17 triaged.

  • Medium triaging effort.

Open reviews/flags:
23 review
7 super-review
2 ui-review
6 feedback

  • bug 847546 Support Retina Display (HiDPI) on SeaMokney on MacOS X.

    • Ratty thinks we will need 2x PNGs as well as other changes. See Core Tracking bug 785330 for supporting HiDPI mode (Retina Display) on Mac OS X.
  • See Feature List page for major wanted/needed features.
    • Ratty suggests featuring one or more bugs from that page at each meeting.
  • Featured helpwanted bugs:

Good First Bugs

  • Note: The GFB list is open to all including our regular contributors.

  • Ratty is working on an updated GFB list, suggestions welcome.
  • New GFBs recently added:
  • Currently there are 24 GFBs open, 2 are being actively worked on. bug 735333 needs some help getting this running on the try-server. Mcsmurf is assisting.
  • List of Open mentored bugs.
    • Ratty notes that there are 23 bugs that are GFBs but without the mentor keyword. These need to be audited to see if they are really suitable as GFBs.
  • In the last two weeks since the previous meeting:
    • bug 735333 Use Services.prefs instead of preferences-service / gPrefService, in SeaMonkey code. Mcsmurf will check in the Services.prefs patches soon. IanN says that once this is done, it’s worth asking people who use trunk to give those areas a good test, because we have regressed before with Services.jsm landings.

      • Mcsmurf did some testing on this, but need to check how to “discover” JS bugs, as they don’t generate TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL in the log.
    • bug 752331 Atul had to give up on this bug due to illness. Ratty will leave this open for the time being.
  • Mentors of stalled bugs should try to communicate with the assignees and if they can’t work on them any more to unassign/free up those bugs.

Product Status Updates (voice updates)

Firefox Desktop

Speaker Location: toronto (johnath)

Firefox Mobile

Speaker Location: toronto (johnath)

  • We’re in the yandex store!

  • Continuing to set records for stability on FF20 (release) and FF21 (beta) – keep it up!
  • Still debugging dynamic/auto-hiding nav bar (e.g. bug 858969), please report bugs vigourously!
  • Release is creeping towards 4.5 (visual) stars in the play store – do you have 2000 friends who can help?

Webmaker

Speaker Location: Ryan Merkley in Toronto

  • Last week we told you about Maker Party 2013, Mozilla’s big summer learning code where people will get together around the world to make and learn with the web

  • This week: we’re going to tell you about what’s happening specifically in the UK, through their “Make Things Do Stuff” campaign
  • Get involved: you can learn more and sign up here: http://makethingsdostuff.co.uk/

Other ways to get involved with Webmaker this week:

Firefox OS

Speaker Location: No Audio

  • 1.0.1

    • Next week we enter the second round of certification testing for Spain/Venezuela/Columbia, so trying to close as many TEF+ bugs as possible this week.
  • 1.1
    • MMS workweek in Portland, for 2 weeks

Grow Mozilla

No voice update this week

Help us build a history of Mozilla told by Mozillians. Please share your memories about this Mozilla milestone:

60 Seconds with Mozilla IT

Speaker Location: Corey Shields via Vidyo (no screen share)

  • hg push server had an issue last week, failover to a redundant push node happened with little impact

    • Details: the way hg is setup there is a single server for changes over ssh (pushes) and a whole pool of servers for consumption through http. This single server has a passive replica that we’ve never had to rely on before last week. Failover to the backup node worked fine as did failing back to the primary node when it was fixed.
  • Mozilla is now contributing to pool.ntp.org
    • We make use of GPS based time servers in our primary data centers to ensure that our infrastructure is as close to being in sync as possible. These servers are now contributing back to the greater Internet community
  • Questions? –> #it and #desktop

Martyn ->
Mostly working on a couple of small bugs but still very much trying to get to know the code better. Still having massive issues with speed of development as feeling very slow atm. Would love to know progress of project allowing use of Eclipse/IntelliJ against the Fennec code base. It’s my birthday on Tuesday and have PTO Friday -> Tuesday.

Last Week:

  • getting to grips with patch submit process.

  • computer died, wasted time fixing that.
  • bug 854940 mostly done – submitted for review
  • bug 863052 started to investigate

This Week:

  • bug 854940 feedback comments implemented

  • bug 863052 still working on this – new code, so it’s going fairly slowly atm.
