Minutes of the mozilla.org Staff Meeting of Monday 17th November 2003

Sunday November 23rd, 2003

Present: leaf, myk, brendan, mitchell, bart, asa, dbaron, blizzard, ben, scott, scc, gerv.

Releases update

• We freeze on Tuesday night for 1.6 beta.
• Asa will be posting regular release updates to n.p.m.seamonkey starting this week.
• Drivers will be tweaking the lengths of the freezes to reflect something closer to the experience of the last few milestones.

• 1.6 beta may be accompanied by Thunderbird 0.4

Localised builds

• Original idea was a second 1.5 CD with language packs
• Now want to get localised versions for 1.6 final
• blizzard is working on an auto-localisation tool

• Need to figure out which languages we care about
• Need to determine whether we will ship available language packs on the original release CD or on an update a few days/weeks later.
• Do we ship full builds or just language packs? Leaning towards packs rather than builds.

New website

• Technical maintenance and development requires some time
• dbaron might spend three hours on the CSS
• myk could work on back-end scripting and automation

Thunderbird tinderboxes

• leaf says next week

CVS over SSH

• Worth looking into again, after the Linux incident
• Sourceforge do it; talk to someone there
• roc would know how hard it is to use once it's set up
• scc will try and sort this out
