Chandler Engineering Meeting - September 28th, 2006

Agenda

• Alpha4 : We're still shy on 2 tasks (Bug#5304 on expando and Bug#2816 on French l10n). Lots of bugs to fix, manageable but the find rate is still high. Also plus we want to be dogfoodable. What does this all means? (Philippe - 15 min)
• Alpha5 and beyond : Update on this (Philippe - 10 min)
• Build : Heikki and Bear to update the group. What about the static IP and VNC issues? (Bear - 10 min)
• Functional Tests : We had a meeting on this. Dan took notes. What's next? (Philippe, all - 10 min)
• Release Management : Status on the release management doc. (Heikki - 5 min)

Minutes

• Alpha4
  • l10n: need to get the decision on svn made. Heikki and Bear to make it happen.
  • expando: late, Reid and Bryan working on it.
  • bugs: worried about the merge bugs, apparently restore settings is involved, Katie and Sheila experiencing these and logging bugs daily. Those got fixed but more are coming every day.
  • Performance: some suggestions from Andy to improve indexing perf. Philippe to talk to Bryan about those.
  • Cosmo 0.5 will land on Oct 6th (feature freeze) but we won't have Chandler use this before alpha5
  • Need to file bugs on doc
  • Consensus: alpha4 RC Oct 17th

• Alpha5 and beyond
  • Will the sharing format be able to land mid December? Unclear. PJE and Morgen working on this. Cosmo 0.6 will coordinate with them.
  • Notification, tagging/labelling are still vaguely specified so the estimates there are very coarse

• Build
  • The Virtual machines are working, they have static IP, the VNC is on... The network is down right now...
  • We could get faster machines to have a better turnaround on Tinderboxes. G5s are the bottle neck though.
  • Philippe to check the budget for those.

• Functional Tests
  • We should have a meeting. Let's review Dan's note during the next QA meeting (Monday) and come up with an action plan for Tinderboxes.

• Release Management
  • Heikki to work on this
