Firefox 1.0.3

• Process started on Friday

• Found a regression Friday; more respins Saturday
• Trimmed down jst's drag-and-drop patch to avoid regressions

• With good feedback, tomorrow evening

Mozilla Suite 1.7.7

• Tied in with Firefox 1.0.3 process

Thunderbird 1.0.3

• No 1.0.3 because security issues are in JS which is not enabled by default
• No l10n in CVS so much harder work to do Thunderbird releases

Firefox/Thunderbird 1.1

• Freeze tomorrow night at midnight for 1.1 alpha (FF and TB) == Gecko 1.8b2 (need to sort out naming)
• Want to ship in a week to ten days
• Need to get the messaging right; don't upgrade to this from 1.0
• Beta five weeks after that

• We have tinderboxen for all 34 Firefox source localisations.
• 31 build, 3 are broken.
• Thunderbird source l10n should be working by second beta

Seamonkey Transition

• They want to do a release around the same time as FF 1.1 alpha
• Seamonkey 1.0 alpha will be a trunk release, not a branch release

New Newsgroups

• Gerv to do another request for volunteers
