Hey all,

We'd like to have a post-mortem for Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 which was
just released today. I've schedule it for this Friday to not conflict
with Firefox 3 beta 4 work next week.

Please take time out before hand to put any agenda items on the wiki
[1].

Meeting details:
* Friday, February 29, 10:00am PST
* Link Conference Room, Building K, Mountain View
* 650-903-0800 x91 Conf#284 (US/INTL)
* 1-800-707-2533 (pin 369) Conf#284 (US)

Thanks!

-Sam

"Why, in general, are Thunderbird security releases trailing Firefox
security releases (leaving millions of Thunderbird users at risk) by
increasingly larger intervals and is anything being done to address
that? The problem seems to be getting worse, not better."

I think it's just a temporary hiccup due to scott and david leaving a
vacuum after they left MoCo. Now that Mommy is up and running they can
have a release engineer+release drivers similar to Firefox. Having said
that SeaMonkey manages to issue releases in lockstep within 24 hours of
each Firefox release and there is a lot of shared code between SeaMonkey
and Thunderbird so it would be optimal if Thunderbird can sync releases
with Firefox and SeaMonkey.
