    • Stability (nhirata)
  • B2G (Geo/jhammink)
    • Estimates (jhammink)
      • Assembling T-Shirt Estimate of Gaia apps, based on Req health check - eventually we will get same metrics from Moztrap
    • Testcase Porting
      • Porting several test areas to Moztrap; with help of team
      • plan is to have all P0 and P1 in moztrap by 9/28
    • Smoketest
      • minor changes being made; additional metrics (# of reboots) collected as part of a t-shirt type estimate of build stability
    • L10n (nhirata)
      • Stas Malolepszy is leading the l10n effort
      • String freeze/schedule : https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:B2G , Sept 21 and Oct 1st.
        • Homescreen is an if, Settings moved to second bucket.
      • bugs should be listed in bugzilla as late-l10n and a similar label to be made in github.
      • Oct 26th would be the deadline for l10n assuming that no app misses the 9/28 deadline.
      • main languages to be translated : pt-BR, es, en-US; any other is bonus (e.g. Italian, French, German should be ready but they're not P1).
      • For names of apps, even though that the manifest files hold the names... Properties file is separate from manifest files and when releng builds l10n builds, they will take the manifest.properties and they will put it inside the json in the manifest for the app, so it should just work. No need to worry about manifest for apps.
    • Stability (nhirata)
      • Need to get releng to take ownership of building, so symbol server can be populated
      • devices are not sending crash reports because devices cannot detect when the device is online
      • desktop builds are the only ones that can send reports, however mac builds are the only ones that have symbols currently
