Layout (jet/dbaron)

<Read Only>

Media (mreavy)

• Landed major update of AEC we’d been expecting. AEC is now run on getUserMedia streams directly.
  • Was bounced twice and took a week to land due to b2g emulator issues (see m.d.platform)
• Found that the fix for delays opening audio streams on Mac (bug 919215) didn’t solve that cubeb_init could take hundreds of ms or even >8 seconds, leading to permanent delay/echo on Macs, especially using speakerphone modes. Fixed.
• MediaStreamGraph now resamples and mixes to the “preferred” output rate (typically 44100 or 48000) before passing audio to AudioStream.
• Even moving some tests around from one dir to another broke B2G opt emulator (bug 963244 went perma-orange until the move was reverted)

Necko (dougt/jduell)

• no update this week

Performance (vladan/avih)

• IOInterposer non blocking observers – less interruptions for normal browsing when collecting IO data (nightly).
• Reduced addons compatibility checks – most tests now pass.
• Still fixing maintrhead IO bugs.
• Still working on talos profiling. Phase one is likely to not support windows.
• Improved telemetry dashboard: more analytics integration, slowSQL bugfix, jobs timeout notifications.
• Handling talos regressions (bug 990644) – process hopefully in place, impact unclear.

Seceng (grobinson)

• We’re working on an addon to help users protect themselves and learn more about Heartbleed. WIP on Github

WebAPI (overholt)

• Tobie Langel started on a contract today to help advance our Service Workers implementation
  • speaking of Service Workers, the cache API design is coming along and the necko team is getting involved

Quality Programs

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

CritSmash (dbolter)

• Your attention to security bugs _is_ appreciated.

• Past week’s OrangeFactor: 11.82 (Previous Week: 11.88).
• mochitest-bc chunking landed on trunk, yay! Trying to port to Aurora as well.
• 21 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

irc #planning Log From This Meeting

10:56 KaiRo: cpeterson: no stability audible today
10:56 cpeterson: KaiRo: ok
11:01 RyanVM|sheriffduty: mreavy: safe to say that the "right" media people aren't here for me to rant about the current state of the media mochitests? (not webrtc stuff)
11:01 RyanVM|sheriffduty: i.e. bug 994877
11:02 RyanVM|sheriffduty: I think I counted 6-7 bugs in the top 20 OF
11:02 mreavy: RyanVM|sheriffduty: they are sleeping, but I will be speaking to the media mochitests in my media update
11:02 RyanVM|sheriffduty: great
11:02 Waldo: woo taxes /o\
11:02 mreavy: RyanVM|sheriffduty: yeah, way too many :-(
11:02 RyanVM|sheriffduty: always skips hot bug
11:02 Waldo: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/2014-04-15 for anyone who needs it
11:07 Waldo: woo for doing it right from the start in a11y \o/
11:07 davidb: :)
11:11 RyanVM|sheriffduty: bug 994877 is tracking mreavy's comments about media mochitest problems
11:12 davidb: mreavy: what is the best way to test webrtc?
11:12 davidb: (i use nightly)
11:13 mreavy: davidb: soon it will be Loop, which will be landing in the next week or so.  In the meantime opentokrtc.com is what I recommend.  For example, opentokrtc.com/davidb will give you a "room".  You can share that link with whoever you want to have a call with.
11:14 dveditz: unofficial Heartbleed addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/heartbleed/
11:14 dveditz: seceng is working on a better one though
11:14 dveditz: (actual input from UX folks, no bad-for-privacy reliance on a server)
11:14 Waldo: also notes that contractor is a longtime Mozillian, if his memory serves \o/
11:15 Waldo: we are laughing in here because of departing just as Bob was being poked
11:15 bhearsum: dveditz++
11:17 jesup: http://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/ has links to several services that use WebRTC that you can use for calls/chatting/file xfer/etc (about to update it with some more)
11:19 jesup: davidb: Updated 
11:20 davidb: ok great
11:20 davidb: i was wondering if one was better than the other
11:20 davidb: this stuff is getting pretty awesome
11:21 mreavy: david: my preference is opentokrtc.com --- but soon it will be Loop :-)
11:21 mreavy: davidb: ^^
11:21 davidb: ty
11:23 KaiRo: realizes he potentially should have put the Mac Flash crashes into the agenda, given how many people at Mozilla use Macs
