Notices / Schedule

Firefox Development
As mentioned above, Firefox team is offsite this week. Some of the things discussed include:
- Updated feature pages (courtesy of deb)
- Adding telemetry to front end code (etherpad)
- Compiling a consolidated set of effective code review practices
We’ll try to vidyo in, but are likely to stay muted
GFX
JS
- We’re trying an experiment of just using mozilla-inbound for landings (the benefits: daily regression resolution, rather than weekly; no need for someone to spend time merging). So for the next two weeks, everything JS is landing in mozilla-inbound, and the TraceMonkey repository is temporarily abandoned. When the two weeks are up we’ll decide whether to return to TM or just use mozilla-inbound.
