Apologies:
Luca - hope to be with you, but it depends on work schedules ... !
gsvelto - timing is terrible for me so I can't attend, but I've got news about the emulator, see below
== Announcements ==
== Status Updates ==
Let's finalize the milestone documents if possible for B2G and the doc
https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/B2G_Milestones B2G Installer assets updated
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1288910 (Thanks Jovan)
Taskcluster build broke on 14.9 but is now fixed
I've got the x86 KitKat emulator running again on my box, it needs a small patch that I'll commit soon. This should allow testing the telephony apps without the need for a phone plus other niceties. I'm now working on getting the Lollipop emulator also working. I'm not sure if we have plans for porting to Marshmallow but I wouldn't consider that until we get the rest of the functionality back first.
=== Smartphone ===
Sms app porting started (
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/sms-app-porting/10935 @Thanks to Matthieu, follow issues
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/sms-app-porting/10935/1 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302634 struggling with the testing no Mulet build for mac and don't really understand how to use the "opt" from here...
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-inbound&filter-tier=1&filter-tier=2&filter-tier=3&filter-searchStr=mulet Is where can i find the source and/or a doc to build mulet for Mac ? No more build for OSx from what i understand
mulet source is gecko, so see mozilla-central
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mulet#How_do_I_run_B2G_OS_on_it.3F this is how you build mulet
Linux we have this 2 bugs regarding mulet
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304038 Regarding this bug does anyone know how to do this:
"Can you also provide a Gecko patch that updates the sha1 in b2g/config/aries/sources.xml and b2g/config/nexus-5-l/sources.xml for the Gaia project" not sure where the doc are..
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304019=== Smart TV ===
=== Porting ==
Fairphone 2 Blobfree build, work in progress...(novski)
blobfree not yet ready there is a problem with the building of pulled blobs to a system&boot.img- i need to reach out to Atila (Juan) but he doesn't reply...
=== Infrastructure ===
Old architecture page is back on MDN. Update in progress to adapt new architecture
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/B2G_OS/Architecture=== Documentation ===
lets talk about the organisation of MDN and improvements:
https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/MDN_B2GOS_Organisation and here the discourse topic:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/mdn-for-b2g/ Proposition of restructuring
Can we easly recreate a full structure for the documentation in MDN ? Do we need specific access, right etc ?
Transfer required, take care of language (Novski)
Should we instead improve
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/B2G_OS i.e. Add at the end of the page "Quick architecture reference" with the new organization referencing to appropriate pages? (m.ducorps and krz37)
Next step start the discussion on discourse to have a first draft of the Doc. and here the discourse topic:
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/mdn-for-b2g/ can we increase the double information on Wiki and make it a first landing space for new users? By deleting all developer information out of it? (novski)
Add a note on the "archive page" ie mulet OSx/Windows doesn't work for now.
review this page
https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G to have it more user friendly
See the round table notes below from Luca, we need to update the Compatible device page,
Organise a dedicated meeting about Documentation. krz37 will post about it on Discourse
Let's wait one more week and if there is no feedback about the documentation, we'll just go ahead and do the modification we've proposed in the etherpad
=== Governance ===
=== Communications ===
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS Needs edit, any volunteer? Let's post it on discourse after the meeting if not+1
For people using Twitter, do no hesitate to follow @boot2gecko
=== QA ===
== Round Table ==
Why don't we use Bountysource to speed up bugs closing? There are:
a b2g team (
https://www.bountysource.com/teams/b2g) - Matthieu claimed it (
https://www.bountysource.com/teams/b2g/settings).
and a mozilla-b2g team (
https://www.bountysource.com/teams/mozilla-b2g) - it still needs to be claimed by someone Matthieu also claimed this, @Thanks again!
For now no feedback from bountysource, if someone close to Mozilla have an idea how to get in touch with this guy
https://github.com/andreasgal/B2G there is chance he is the admin ( he was CTO at Mozilla
)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andreas_Gal We just need to update a previous team or it's better to create a totally new one? Imho, we should also considering Salt as a crowdfounding option. (From the FAQ: Through Salt open-source projects can collect monthly contributions from supporters in order to reliably and predictably fund ongoing development). In my opinion it would be great for the project development!
For now wait and see feedback from Bountysource.
We should update the Compatible device page, update porting statuses and adding new supported devices
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/B2G_OS/Building_and_installing_B2G_OS/Compatible_Devices. Should we schedule a dedicated documentation meeting? We can also use it to discuss the documentation organization/status (see also what Novsky wrote here
https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/mdn-for-b2g/10814) (Luca)
see documentation topic above
Trying to involve this guy
https://twitter.com/FabianOvrWrt ... he is doing a good job tweaking firefox os UI.
kskarthik: shall we contact the dev's to reserve this name for our community ?
https://vroom.im/b2g_os_weekly_meeting seems not really stable we where 5 pepole but 2 at the end, audio only seems to work okey
if we want to reserve the room, we just have to put a password but it is wiser to go back to Vidyo at the moment that was more stable for everyone
