Summary
- our ability to move fixes from mozilla-central to mozilla-1.9.1 is impressive, due largely to better sheriffing practises and attention to [oranges]

Tree Management
- pooling of talos slaves started last week, continuing this week
- machines will no longer be tied to one branch; let us know if you see any problems on dev dashboard, graphserver, etc. As talos machines become pooled, Tinderbox columns will be consolidated, not have machine name.
- converted firefox3.0 talos last Thursday
- will need to migrate the other existing talos slaves to the pool at some point. when’s the best time?
- we expect this will reduce talos wait times significantly
- more slaves coming online for tryserver
- mobile tryserver work progressing
- signing machine and mobile infrastructure going offline 5th June for office move.
Roundtable
- How many people are running Windows 7?
- you can get the RC for free
- it runs in VMWare & Parallels as if it were Windows Vista, and VirtualBox as if it were Linux
- Icon landing for 3.5 (all platforms). None of this blocking, but it would be good to get as much landed as possible. We are using this spreadsheet to track progress: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pMZGKUlD9NOM0KbLcneMfbw
- QA will concentrate testing in the following areas during RC1 testing:
- Video performance and Controls, Geolocation, Session Restore, Tabbed Browsing, Drag and drop functionality, Clear history/ private browsing/ forget this site, topsites layout and performance, windows 7 adhoc testing. Please suggest any other broad regression areas here.
- Looks like session store is cut for 3.5?
- Focused test day for everyone on RC1? There has been some talk about having everyone (dev, mktg?, QA, etc) take some time out to really beat on RC1. I am happy to help organize. Thoughts? [timr]
- Feedback on the new Firefox icon is welcome
