Actions

• jgriffen will propose that we merge this meeting with the B2G engineering meeting next week.
• lmandel will send an announcement about the change in meeting time (hold for a week until jgriffen speaks follows up about merging this meeting with the B2G engineering meeting
• lmandel to review 1.4 approval process for 1.3T, slowing devs down, not providing a lot of value
• jgriffin will speak with the perf team to ensure they're ok with shifting automation to 256Mb config

Roundtable

• (jgriffin) Is this meeting useful? Perhaps we should combine with the B2G engineering meeting (3pm PT every other Thursday). Will propose this during the next B2G engineering meeting.
