Minutes of the mozilla.org Staff Meeting of Monday 19th July 2004

Monday July 26th, 2004

By Gervase Markham

Present: gerv, asa, dbaron, jst, marcia, mitchell, ben.

An alpha 3 will be inserted between alpha 2 and beta to hopefully avoid being stretched too thin with 1.8 and aviary 1.0.
drivers will post roadmap updates soon.
Trunk is going at its own pace while we focus on the branch; best to keep calling releases alpha rather than beta.
One complaint was instability at blogger.com. This looks like it has been worked around by the blogger folks.
Asa investigating with Blogger folks
Watching feedback on 1.8a2 plugins stuff to see if it can go on the branch

As more Firefox end users find Bugzilla, we're getting more incomplete bug reports.
Need a better mechanism for reporting broken sites, using an aggregation mechanism
Asa to mail Gerv/caillon and/or blog about this
Try and find a volunteer to write it

100+ can fit in the facility
Ideas for further plugging:
- developer.slashdot.org?
- Web developers?
- Plugin mailing list
- Check for other conferences

3 pieces, all started already
1. Traditional marketing (rafael) — plans, documents, people available
2. PR — sparkpr.com (ex-Netscapers). PR strategy doc in the next week
3. Community marketing already underway. First two weekly campaigns (cnet reviews and "for the record" press effort) already a big success.
