Insights

Something to Think About

IBM and Apple signed an agreement earlier this week where IBM will re-sell and support Apple gear to and for their corporate customers. While many have identified this as a big win for Apple, it’s also a big win for IBM, whose products and services are used to manage the computing environments by and for their customers. The agreement is part of a segment that is heating up, with Microsoft also announcing lower-cost Windows 8 laptops to complement their Surface offerings, and keep pace with the changes Google is making to make Android and ChromeOS (and Google productivity services) a more attractive platform in the Enterprise environment.
Why we should care: Apple, Google, and Microsoft continue to invest in their cross-platform strategy, linking their core products to Enterprise – which include institutional users – with the aim of giving end-users access to what they need, when they need it, regardless of platform. Each org has different reasons for doing it, and are pursuing strategies that don’t (always) take advantage of the web as a platform.

irc #planning Log From This Meeting

11:06 overholt: clouserw, maybe it'd be neat to have a marketplace update every once in a while at this meeting
11:10 dveditz: cpeterson: jedp isn't here anymore... maybe take the Identity section out of the template or find a new owner?
11:11 cpeterson: dveditz: thanks. do you have a owner in mind? :)
11:12 dveditz: no, I don't know what's up there these days

11:14 cpeterson: overholt: we can come back to you next

Feedback Summary (Cheng/Tyler/Matt)

Desktop

31 beta Survey is going out shortly.

We are watching reports that some Indian ISPs are causing youtube is misbehave in Firefox. Some users say this is happening outside of India, so we are still investigating.

Market Insights from the Market Strategy Team (Kev)

Something to Think About

Google continues to improve its l10n efforts, releasing 13 new languages for Gmail and raising the total to 71, covering 94% of the internet population. They continue to add locales to its Search UI as well as Search results language, and have announced improvements to localization support in Google Now (some of which have since been delayed) and other products.
Why we should care: Localization of our products has always been a strong point, but Google (and others) continue to close the gap and extend language support in all of its products, including Android, Play, and its core services. We should continue to focus on l10n support, and look at where we can continue to innovate/tailor our experiences from a regional standpoint.

NEW
OPEN

  • http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/seamonkey/ has not been updated since November 2012, the last version listed is 2.14 (bug 956561); move blog to blog.mozilla.org if possible Assigned: mcsmurf.

CLOSED

Status of the SeaMonkey Buildbot Master and Tree

  • Buildmaster is up and running.
    • Due to the master having some mysql issues, Callek has put a halt on the mysql updates, which affects the tbpl. So nothing is showing in tbpl atm.
  • comm-* will be building out of mozilla-* (bug 648979 etc.). Jcrammer has completed the coding. The decision to merge c-c into m-c has been kicked down the road into the next quarter or two.
  • Migrating our Linux builders to CentOS 6 bug 795354. Puppetmaster has been updated. Ewong is able to login to these hosts and buildbot is installed. We still need to get everything setup for parity and do some slight tweaks to the puppet config, but we’re pretty close to useable.
    • 2.28 beta and final will depend on build system working again for Gecko 31.0
    • bug 983536 libpango version >= 1.22.0 required on Linux.
    • bug 977676 SeaMonkey’s puppet broken due to requirement of ffxbld ldap password.
    • bug 943740 is tracking the progress (or lack of one) in building trunk and aurora on Linux & Mac from the downloading user’s POV.
  • Python has been updated on all buildboxen!
    • bug 908090 ImportError: No module named json, on SeaMonkey Linux/Windows (all) test runs, due to (still) using Python 2.5. We do have python 2.7 installed but our build system is picking up python 2.5 instead.
  • We are perma-orange on comm-central, comm-aurora and comm-beta due to problems with tests
    • Windows en-US builds are being successfully compiled but tests are not working due to a dependency on python 2.7.3.
    • pymake has been discontinued. We need to install the latest Mozilla-build and tooltool on our windows builders.
  • No langpacks since 29th August on trunk. Needs investigating.
    • Windows and Mac trunk langpacks directories have been removed on the FTP server, maybe for lack of recent XPIs (later than 2.20a1). Latest Linux langpacks are dated 29 August. Callek told Tonymec on IRC he has a hunch about why but more pressing things to do first.
    • In Bug 902876 Comment 12 Mcsmurf is waiting for feedback from the build team on how to proceed.
  • In Progress: bug 1029513 Stop building Venkman because bug 800200 removed JSD1 which Venkman depends on.

Fixed Stuff Since Last Meeting

  • bug 1019021 SeaMonkey make package doesn’t package things needed to run for .. in .. loops that iterate over the content window object.

Release Train

  • Callek plans to have at least one 2.28 beta as soon as we get the Linux builders up. But no ETA yet.
    • SeaMonkey 2.28 beta 1 has not been scheduled yet.
  • Useful Firefox Release Schedule link: Releases Scheduling

Notices/Schedule (lsblakk/sylvestre)

Next Merge: July 21, 2014 Next Release: July 22, 2014
Trains
Central: 33 Aurora: 32 Beta: 31 Release: 30

<Read Only>

  • 31b8 build 1 built on both Desktop & Mobile. Waiting for QA sign off to go live
  • GGC won’t ship with 31 but in 32. Causing too many issues in term of stability (OOM) Bug 994589 for more info
  • Other top crash: bug 988549 (GFX blocklist)

Build Changes (gps)

(Build changes of which engineers should be aware.)

RelEng (catlee)

(Repo, test, and other information for engineers from the release engineering team.)

Upcoming Outages/Upgrades

(System outages/upgrades and tree closures that impact engineering.)

Quality Programs

(An opportunity to hear about status with the various quality programs that do not have a formal team structure.)

OrangeFactor (ryanvm)

  • Past week’s OrangeFactor: 7.65 (Previous Week: 9.18).
  • Numbers improving after another recent batch of test disablings and a number of fixes landing.
  • #1: bug 1007230 – Timeouts during pip install.
  • New serviceworker tests are flaky on Android/B2G. Seems too risky to backout at this point, so action needed on the various bugs on file.
  • 34 intermittent failures fixed in the last week – List – Thanks!.

MemShrink (njn)

  • No update.

Stability (kairo/bsmedberg)

  • Overall numbers still don’t look entirely good:
    • Aurora is just still seeing some people on the bad builds from last weekend, crash data for newer builds is fine
    • Beta 31 has ~30% worse data than 30, due to 3 areas:
      • Experiments shutdown crashes (bug 1012924, no effect on release which doesn’t run experiments).
      • GGC OOM crashes, mostly bug 999158. Sadly, we’ll need to disable GGC on 31.
      • GFX crashes, see bug 988549, due to blocklist for D2D (at least) not working correctly. GFX team is looking into it.

Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

Project Status Updates (voice updates)


Firefox Desktop


Speaker Location: San Francisco (johnath)



    

  •  More experimentation you can try out on nightly:

      

    •  Electrolysis

    •  Loop

    



Firefox OS


Speaker: non-verbal

Flame phones. We have about 200 Flames available for members of our community (volunteers and employees.) This is for those who will use the phones regularly, and who will participate in product surveys, focused testing efforts, and be available to help us gauge the quality of specific features and the overall product.


To apply to the program, head over to our Foxtrot Application, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes.



Mozilla Science Lab 


Speaker Location: non-verbal





Mozilla Reps


Speaker: Brian King

Speaker Location: San Francisco


Introducing Reps in town for the Engagement Offsite.



Content Services


Speaker: Sean Bohan

Speaker Location: New York 

2 weeks since the Content Services Work Week and we are looking at the future of Enhanced Tiles for the New Tab. Currently, users see Tiles which consist of a  screenshot of that page, some text under each of the tiles. Users have the ability to move a tile, leave it alone or remove it from their New Tab. Our team is looking at giving the users the ability to add “Format” to that list of actions, letting them change tiles from a screenshot to something that is either more functional or just looks better. Right now ideas include magazine and news tiles that can show most recent headlines on top of Tile.  Sites given the able to update the Tile image to latest logo or seasonal doodle.  At the July 21 MoCo, Aaron Thornburg (UX lead for Content Services), will show a demo of where this could go.

  •  Distrodistros: CDN is live, patch is reviewed, docs are written; getting close to landing. (Follow-ups expected.)

  •  Locale testing: doing a couple of builds with new locales (52!) for Jeff.

  •  New Android SDK/build-tools work fine, only zipalign needs to be symlinked.

  •  Wrestling endlessly with Eclipse: needs to add the Play Services projects to make the ChromeCast stuff build, and now Fennec crashes on launch. Sadface.

  •  Debugged an exciting client record bug with Nick: bug 1032483. If you have duplicated devices in Send Tab or Synced Tabs, this is why.

  •  The usual miscellaneous reviews and patches.



Chris Kitching


… Has returned.



Complete



Ongoing


    

  •  bug 1024289 – Cleanup of the “combined” database view to improve performance (and slightly reduce the vastness of the crazy in BrowserDatabaseHelper.java)

  •  bug 948509 (and related) – Starting rnewman’s fancy overlay project. Basic idea being to use an overlay to allow for more convenient handling of share intents without users having to perform a complete activity switch and lose their train of thought. Later work hopes to do something similar for handling ordinary link-open intents. Input from UX-esque people appreciated (hopefully Richard can help to flesh out any missing details).
