Desktop Release Meeting, Thursday May 17th 2007

Present: Heikki, Grant, Andi, Katie, Aparna, Sheila, Bear, Philippe

Agenda

• Performance
  • Dataset (Aparna)
  • Collaborative session (Philippe)
• Bug count and triaging
  • Triaging and moving everything to 0.7release
  • Plan to get to a final date
• 0.6.1 and getting to a dogfoodable checkpoint
  • How do we log bugs blocking that state? (a little confusion here I think...)
  • ETA? When do we start changing the way we manage this?
• QA/Build

Notes

Performance

• We have the dataset ready
• Let's do the Perf session Wednesday

Bug Count

• Let's punt the P4 and P5 to get clarity
• SWAG the rest and get to a date
• Philippe to triage John's bugs tomorrow
• Get some first guesstimates by Monday for the Countdown Preview meeting

Use of flags

• blocking0.6.1 : migration checkpoint, currently 0... whohoo!...
• blocking0.7 : dogfoodable checkpoint (Mitch, etc...), currently 3 logged
• severity blocker : means that it blocks testing and needs to be fixed asap (break tinderbox, build or QA in big ways)

QA/Build

• Should we freeze commit while stabilizing dogfoof checkpoints? We don't think so since those users are internal, so it's not critical they get a super stable version
• Should we update qacosmo? Not yet, let's revise next week
