Thunderbird Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? –> davida
  • davida brought up the idea of having a schedule for minute taking

–> google calendar setup, visible here. Talk to davida for schedule changes/additions.

Action Items

Open

  • davida: reschedule meeting, to Wednesdays? – calendar folk will be on future status calls
    • See the newsgroup post if you haven’t already.
    • Hard to find a time that works for all timezones. Maybe have to stick with current schedules, and find more ways to cross-pollinate.

Closed

Thunderbird:Thunderbird 3.0b1

  • Naming (dmose) –> renaming 3.0b1 to 3.0a3, as explained in a blog post by dmose.
  • Code freeze Ongoing.
  • 26 Locales ready to go.
  • gozer doing dry-run
  • 3.0b1 Tracking Document
    • Release will be manual, just like Firefox 3.1a1 & 3.1a2
  • Standard8 is the release driver
  • wsmwk is the QA lead of Beta 1
  • renaming bug milestones (b1 to a3, b2 to b1)

Blockers / Wanted Bugs

Thunderbird 3

  • Draft Thunderbird:Thunderbird3:DevRoadmap identifies major work items on the plate for Tb3 — much of it needs scheduling, owning, breakdown.
  • More 3.0 high-level work this week (updating schedule w/ 1.9.1 slippage, etc)

QA Updates

  • crash stats looking better, for example a good list in 3.0a2 top crashes. However, almost zero 3.0b1pre crashes.
    • (any status changed since last week?) The OSX/Intel problems can most likely worked around for the RC, by simply running dump_symbols repeatedly until it runs once without failing.
  • bugday ran last week and this week scheduled for 10-02 – continuing focus on trunk bugs. chart
  • new public mailing list for making announcements to the testing community thunderbird-testers
