Firefox 3.1 Development
(see development meeting notes)
- release announced on Monday at 3pm PST; updates were available shortly before
- went very smoothly, making us think morning releases might be the way to go
- blockers re-triaged, component leads all feel good about progress
- need to be careful about holiday schedules
- holiday time means we need to be cautious to ensure that people get patches up in time for reviews, etc
- first draft schedule (component leads to think about this, beltzner to get QA estimates and double check assumptions):
- Jan 13 – code freeze
- Jan 19 – QA start
- Jan 26 – release
- goal will be to accelerate that schedule if possible, especially code freeze to QA start
