Questions and Concerns
- (catlee) schedule for final release process?
- we need to merge mozilla-beta to mozilla-release and then do another round of build prior to release day.
- A: The go/no-go decision for release is around June 7th. If it’s a “go”, we can do the merge to mozilla-release and do builds and QA shortly after that. This gives us plenty of time for testing before release day on the 21st.
- (jp) When do beta calls start?
- The Beta calls start on Monday May 2nd @2:00pm. We MIGHT change this time and that will be communicated in the meeting reminder send to planning on Friday.
- The goals of having a meeting prior to May 17th is basically to help us plan for the cutover and make sure all logistics and issues are getting addressed.
- (catlee) when are we pushing to mirrors for 3.5/3.6/4.
- A: Planning on pushing in the morning of the 28th, assuming nobody objects. johnath to send mail to r-d
