In the long run, those are very important, but the urgent easily crowds out the important. Kudos to those trying to get the tree usable again!<\/p>\n<p>We could talk about:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Our thoughts on the announced changes to addons (Including not only\n<ul>\n<li> require signed vs unsigned?\n<ul>\n<li> no upside? i.e. we have no identified exploits\n<\/li>\n<li> need to wait for enterprise impacts to be resolved\n<\/li>\n<li> concerned that because the &#8220;unsigned process&#8221; will be no longer used by AMO, it may impact ability to push out unsigned THunderbird addons using the script they used to mass sign Firefox&#8217;s unsigned addons\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li> XPCOM\/XUL deprecation\n<ul>\n<li> need to make sure we are involved in the conversation and decisions so that developers have what they need in the &#8220;new environment&#8221;\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li> Patrick is happy to do Enigmail integration into Thunderbird, I think we should agree. comments?\n<\/li>\n<li> Joshua, Suyash, and I are working on the SkinkGlue (now JsAccount) integration, which will be the basis of both JMAP and CARDDAV support. &#8211;&gt; consider using <a class=\"external free\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/gaye\/dav\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/github.com\/gaye\/dav<\/a> for carddav support\n<\/li>\n<li> Volker Birk of Pretty Easy Privacy is *very* serious about heavily engaging his Foundation with Thunderbird. Concerns?  <a class=\"external free\" href=\"http:\/\/pep-project.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/pep-project.org\/<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li> Then there is the legal and financial home issue &#8230;\n<ul>\n<li> Expect a full-court press on MoFo by me soon, if you have contacts there please advise. One thing that is clear to me after talking to people is how critical Thunderbird is in the greater software world. We DO have a place at the table! How to get MoFo to see that?\n<\/li>\n<li> We have submitted a formal application to Software Freedom Conservancy to affiliate with them, now we wait for their evaluation queue.\n<\/li>\n<li> Very interesting talks with The Document Foundation(TDF)\/LibreOffice. #1 concern: All of our energy goes into keeping up with Mozilla to allow us to optimize some future code development that we never actually have time for. Their funding model is very interesting, would be worth discussing.\n<\/li>\n<li> hoping to meet with postbox in a few weeks\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li> It would be really great if someone could lead efforts to prototype a fund-raising drive web page in-product. (hoping to target Oct\/Nov)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"aceman\">aceman<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li> looking at bug 1183490 (the order received regression), 2 options:\n<ol>\n<li> back out bug 854798. Should be safe. I recommend this.\n<\/li>\n<li> finally drop msgkey=offset in mbox and just increment by 1. May be risky but there is already a precedent that msgs moved by filters already get key+1 so code expecting key==offset should have already been uncovered. However, there are still some unsure places, fixing which means basically bug 793865 (the 64bit envelope and msgkey!=offset cleanup). I would not recommend this for ESR.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li> finally looking to finish some feature patches (compose font selector, saved files tab, show map widget)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Question_Time\">Question Time<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> should we add fallen to  <a class=\"external free\" href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/page.cgi?id=group_members.html&amp;group=thunderbird-drivers\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/page.cgi?id=group_members.html&amp;group=thunderbird-drivers<\/a>\u00a0?
