JS

Team meeting tomorrow, Nov 3 2010, 2pm Pacific:

conf #8605, Warp Core

Agenda:

1.) Wrapping up performance work that is in flight 2.) Driving the blocker list to zero 3.) Hacking to look forward to after we ship Firefox 4

We'll make sure we've got a workable plan.

• ES5 work
  • wrapping up bug 577325, making our processing of function definitions conform to ES5+errata
  • also still going on bug 514568 to give strict mode eval its own scope (such evals can't mess with the binding set of the calling code)

Tree Management

• A few minor announcements about mobile infrastructure:
  • 11 tegras arrived, imaged, powered, racked; not yet setup in masters and still waiting for SDcards.
  • ~15 of 40 n900s imaged. Waiting for all to be in production before we can enable on tryserver

Roundtable

• Crashes
  • Numbers down a bit over the weekend - under 2000 crashes a day. The users were also down from last week but compared to a similar number of users 2 weeks ago, the crashes numbers are a bit lower.
  • Most topcrashers are logged for beta8.
  • We have a list we will keep an eye on after beta7 is released.
  • A few new ones that were logged today but not high volume.
  • Nothing to triage after today's meeting.
