Localization

builds are on VMs, mac builds should come alive shortly, still setup problems

upload time vastly improved

33 locales with localizer commits:
be cs de en-GB es-AR es-ES eu fi fr fy-NL ga-IE gu-IN he hu it lt mk nb-NO nl nn-NO pa-IN pl pt-BR pt-PT ro ru si sk sr sv-SE tr zh-CN zh-TW

21 locales with just Axel:
af ar ca cy da el gl hi-IN id is ja ja-JP-mac ka ko ku mn mr oc sq th uk

14 empty repositories:
as bg bn-IN eo et fa kn lv ml ne-NP rw sl ta te

ignored: en-ZA hy-AM nr nso ss st tn ts ve xh zu

mr and th waiting to be added to the build, eo and et coming in

Firefox 3.0.2 beta locales torn between getting their initial feedback on beta landed on one tree and getting into fx3.1 b1

Roc would be point person for layout changes that would love intl testing.

QA

  • Firefox 3.0.2 (QA-lead Tomcat)
    • Currently running smoketests for Firefox 3.0.2 Build 6 for Mac and Linux, Windows will follow when we have signed builds.
    • Other spotchecks with l10n builds and update follow as usual
    • All other Tests were completed last week before build 5.
    • So far for Beta Feedback, we have so far no other regression report
  • Firefox 3.1 (tchung)
    • Ongoing testplan and testcases work
    • Dogfooding with JIT enabled. Crashes found but having issues with socorro reporting
    • Working on fleshing out tests for new CSS attributes in platform (background images, border radius, transforms, font-face, svg clip path etc)

Release Engineering

  • TB2.0.0.17 handed to QA earlier this week
  • slow progress on release automation on hg
  • slow progress on mobile automation

Evangelism

Marketing/PR

  • need timings on release dates as soon as you can
  • start thinking about what the Firefox 3.1 package will look like

Roundtable

  • it would be good to have a set of known issues and workarounds ready for when we ship Firefox 3.1
