Roundtable

• New channel meetings and triage
• Q2 Platform Goals [1]
• Jetpack
  • Think they have resolved the issues with the tests so they will renable them today (add on SDK tests that we had to disable).
  • See how things go and resolve any additional issues.
• ADUs for mozilla-central and aurora
  • The number of users is too low – need a strategy to figure out stranded users and get them on those channels.
  • Not getting good testing or stability data.
