      • Moz activities interface and user-approval UI for third-party app sign-in request
      • Cryptographic support for certificate and assertion bundling
      • Native library for interacting with Firefox Accounts web service
      • Joy all around (a new nsISupports interface)

Meeting Notes

[warner is this week's notetaker]

  • lloyd is travelling, mark mail as URGENT if needed
  • check out the demo videos
  • madrid crew (FxOS) has been rocking: have a basically functioning system, working on building a screencast this week. Looking to share code on the gecko side (HAWK, crypto stuff). Still trying to figure out what the FxOS "identifier" should be: email? phone number? recycled identifiers are scary. Hadn't received clear directions on FxA-on-FxOS until a few weeks ago, deadline for 1.3 is december, so it's somewhat at-risk. hard to push updates on people who are paying for their bandwidth, carriers may or may not be willing to pay for free ones, how can we keep users safely updated? still searching. overall mood is amazing and energized. Some carriers interested in bootstrapping-on-top-of or replacing FxA with their own schemes, but currently most are happy with FxA, not so happy with email-as-identifier (many markets don't have email), most want username+password. Using phone number is problematic (both reassignment and multi-SIM phones), SMS isn't reliable.
  • https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=920135&maxdepth=4&hide_resolved=1
  • when phone boots up for the first time ("FTU": First-Time Use): prompted to sign up-for/in-to FxA, or can do later from the setup app
  • "certified" (pre-installed) apps can use that FxA immediately. 3rd-party apps can request a signin. 1.3 apps are just Marketplace and WheresMyFox (lost-phone locator). Can remove some Persona cruft once Marketplace moves to FxA.
  • unanswered questions: how can you sign-out, what does sign-out actually mean (per-app? phone-wide?), how does sign-out look given the new Goldilocks API (which removes onLogout)?
  • new firefox accounts wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Identity/Firefox-Accounts : add questions.
  • QA update: jrgm is out sick, checking email. karl is covering trains, peter covering picl.
