*Firefox Summit*
- Went really well
- Having more of them would be good
- Criticism: no closing ceremony to say goodbye at
*Engineering*
- Planning wiki link available soon
- People should be working on one of three things:
- 1.8/2.0 stuff on the branch
- 1.9/3.0 stuff on the trunk
- 1.5.0.1 security release off a new 1.8.0 branch (security and
stability)
- Criteria for 1.5.0.1 are looser than previous security releases
- Can perhaps take topcrashers and regressions on a case-by-case basis
- Thunderbird 1.5 going to RC by the end of this year
- Hoping to release in the early part of next year
- Latest 1.5 locales already out; almost done with that.
*Upgrading*
- Firefox start page will be updated to persuade 1.0 people to upgrade
to 1.5
- Bouncer is tracking how many people take that route
- Will turn up the volume on that encouragement as time progresses
- 1.0 auto-update process doesn't have an ideal user experience, and is
hard to roll out
- Quite a few people are on 1.0.4 or below, so are ignoring
notifications anyway
- So we aren't taking that path at the moment
*Awards*
- Momentum press release next week for 1.5, showing:
- CNET Editor's Choice November 2005
- PC Pro UK Real World Award
- 10,000,000th download
*Firefox Summit Results*
- Need to document appropriate outputs in pages linked from schedule
- Need the help of participants with this
*Newsgroup Reorg*
- justdave is working on this
- Working out the communications issues
- Going to conserve subscription lists for equivalent newsgroups
- Goal is to have this done by the end of December

Will https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318415 make it into
the security release? It's a pretty visible crash.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318253 is a stopper for
corporate use. The autoupdate push to 1.5 should not happen, before
this one is fixed.

of my VPN login dialog box. Seems to happen everytime there is an
element on a page (or a page itself) that fails to load.
