Discussions

• Reining in the release process

A discussion of what can be done to speed up the release process.

• The new roadmap - will there be something sometime?

Simon Paquet asked for an update of the road map and either update or removal of the planning blog. Adam Gutherie replied that cbeard's blog post from Nov 2005 is as close to a roadmap as exists right now and agrees that needs to be done about this.

• Re: Plan to hold trunk closed for lack of talkback

Dbaron mentioned that maybe trunk should be closed because of lack of talkbacks received ( bug 354835 is suspected). pal-moz offers a solution to bug 354835. dbaron then follows up that bug 354835 is solved so there is no need to close the tree waiting for it.

• Thunderbird 2 - Beta/RC?

Johannes Koch asks where is the thunderbird roadmap? Ziga Sancin replies with a link and regrets about it being a bit out of date.

• Firefox 1.5.0.8

• RC2 Status

Schrep asks for any final things standing in the way of RC2. RC2 starts spinning and en-US builds are annoucned. Beltzner says that (as per Bon Echo Status Meeting) that RC2 is going to be re-spun to fix some final bugs that were regressed and patches that were just landed.
