Minutes
actions from previous meeting
gozala to create a branch containing only the loader in preparation for landing it in firefox
- hasn't happened yet
- gozala wants to move to packageless tree with only a lib/ directory first
- currently loader doesn't support differentiation between core and third-party modules
- changes that need to be made to loader: https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Linker
- gozala wants to make those changes first before cutting branch and preparing for integration
- likely to take a few weeks
- seems like it won't be possible to land it in Firefox 14, but it will be possible to land it in Firefox 15
- would be useful to have loader ready for landing by Firefox work week
- gozala will try to make that happen but can't promise it because of other responsibilities
gozala to finalize proposal for a packageless sdk
- https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Packageless
- https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Linker
- https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/CFX-py
DONE!
myk & dietrich to draft mission statement/statement of principles for jetpack features
- myk drafted https://wiki.mozilla.org/Jetpack/Features#Principles
- check it out and give feedback
- dietrich likes it at first glance
DONE!
mixedpuppy to point gozala at stuff labs projects do a lot with sdk
- mixedpuppy is never certain he's using sandboxing correctly
- being able to have a library that allows using a sandbox without being concerned about whether we're doing it correctly
- -> gozala to create priority list of individual modules to land in Firefox by four weeks from today
mixedpuppy identify set of topics to speak about at mozcamp argentina
- mixedpuppy identified three topics:
- privacy issues
- social API stuff being worked on now
- WebIntents actions types of APIs
- didn't plan anything around Jetpack, but others are doing so
- Jorge, Hernan are doing addon talks, Hernan about Add-on SDK specifically and Jorge an overview of methodologies available for addon development
- Hernan will be at one of the two MDN events in addition to mozcamp
- entire Jetpack team will go to at least one mozcamp, mossop will provide team with list of events
- entire Firefox team will do the same, still waiting on dates from mozcamp organizers
whatever else folks want to talk about
- -> gozala and dietrich to meet re: what needs to be done to land loader
- dietrich wrote quick guide to bundling addons: how to do it, when to do it
- pdf.js landed like that, about:telemetry is going to land like that, other projects also in pipeline
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/BundlingAdd-ons
- dietrich will point people at principles to explain value proposition
- value proposition based on experience bundling test pilot
- dietrich will meet with pdf.js folks re: the problems they've experienced (testing, l10n?)
- those are folks without experience writing core code or addon code
- but they don't necessarily need it to contribute to feature
- would be great to enable people to contribute to features without understanding build infrastructure or even addon infrastructure
- mixedpuppy will be entirely focused on figuring out rest of steps for landing amigo and share and otherwise distracted by two weeks in south america
