Friends of the Tree
Thanks to the 47 new developers who joined Mozilla by making their first contributions to Firefox 18 and to Seif Lotfy for generating the metrics to let us thank them 🙂
Christian Holler for making the jit-test suite run in parallel (bug 827960) thereby decreasing by a few hours the cumulative computer wall time spent running these tests, allowing more jobs to be performed on the build infrastructure.

Product Status Updates (voice updates)
Firefox Desktop & Mobile
Speaker Location: Mountain View (johnath)
- FF18 uptake rates are awesome.
- FF18.0.1 likely
- Click to play sure is excellent.
- Firefox Beta for Android now 4.5 visual stars!
- Firefox for Android at 4.17 stars and climbing, but 10x more review volume, so it moves more slowly
Firefox OS
Speaker Location: Dietrich
- Berlin meetup was fantastically productive, bringing the number of release-blocking bugs down to *7*. View the dashboard. Huge thanks to Ashley for coordinating the event, and to DT for hosting.
- Next steps are to work with partners to identify and close the final bugs required for certification by all parties.
- As of immediately, use the blocking-b2g flag instead of blocking-basecamp, nominating issues by setting the value to “tef?”. More detailed instructions for post-1/15 life will be sent to the lists this week.
