Smartphone
Jamie has been working on a camera web app http://1jamie.github.io using only standard APIs
- Can take a photo
- Will need a way to store it (currently downloads to download folder)
- May eventually have to be chrome, but trying as a web app first
Smart TV
- No news, 2.6 ongoing
Tablet
Results of the user study were presented to the Product Innovation Board on Wednesday last week https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1K5yBzp7fCji_1Nkdmod8hmhDJ8ACcq4XgW5lDZZzBr4/edit?usp=sharing The board decided to discontinue work on Project Tablet. The reason given was that we have limited resources in Connected Devices and there are still major concerns around:
- Apps
- A lack of support from the platform team
Porting
Infrastructure
Documentation
Governance
Communications
QA
Round Table
If the platform team keep trying to remove B2G code from mozilla-central, will we have to fork?
- It's possible. But that's our last resort because maintaining a fork of Gecko long term is a huge deal
Jovan:Trying to move camera to chrome, have a problem with require.js Ben: Try pinging one of these people
