NECKO WEEKLY MEETING NOTES

Thurs November 29th, 2017

TRIAGE

  • Note: use these 2 queries when you're on triage duty: all bugs should be [necko-triaged] and have a priority

    • UNTRIAGED bugs: https://mzl.la/2wAv7XZ
    • MALFORMED bugs (have necko-triaged but no priority): https://mzl.la/2xXf2jc

  • P1 bugs https://mzl.la/2he1C85

  • P2 bugs https://mzl.la/2yaD1aO

  • P3 bugs (backlog) https://mzl.la/2xcYzEL

  • P5 bugs (would take): https://mzl.la/2hdnQXy

  • Triage Notes

    • Android crashes on infra are currently not symbolicated: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1389805 (makes triaging/diagnosing android crash bugs hard/impossible)
