SVG
- Windows and Mac build systems configured to build SVG and their builds now include SVG by default. Using it requires flipping a pref since it's disabled by default. (bugs 285177, 285178)
- new Linux build system capable of building with SVG enabled, overcoming problems in building profiled (bug 292377)

New build systems
- Six new systems: 2 dual G5 XServes, 4 dual Xeon HP DL360 G4s
- Worked out cabinet depth problems at colo, two XServes (atlantia and triton) are now properly mounted, attached to network
- One XServe (atlantia) is serving as the Firefox trunk build system
- One XServe (triton) is allocated to Firefox aviary branch, next step to configure
- One DL360 (prometheus) is configured as a Linux build system, shaking out profiled build problems
- One DL360 has Windows Server 2003 installed, next step to add build tools
- One DL360 has a hardware problem that led to reboots while OS was installing
- One DL360 hasn't yet been tested

Firefox 1.0.3
- made he-IL build links on firefox/all.html live

Deer Park
- meetings, emails
- provide feedback and thoughts on software update to darin, ben, dougt, dveditz

Et cetera
- MIME::tools, potential use of this CPAN module in the build scripts to send multiple files to the Tinderbox server (rather than just the build log)
- ideas to speed up CVS checkout for some of our build systems
- staff meeting
