Are we really on-target for 20 deliverables, with time to test, in 4 days?

No way...

Maybe Ryan or Austin can help with scheduling.  We could start by asking how long this might all take and figure out a schedule?  How does that sound?

Also wanted to update on timing. Looks like Aurora will go to build on Tuesday, which means we'll actually release pages on Wednesday morning.  Not a huge increase in time, but every little bit helps.

This project just popped up on my radar.  Let's meet early next week to talk about the current status and timing.  

Just to set expectations now, this will not be ready to launch on April 12th.

Okay, just chatted with Laura.  Bug 646870 is the primary bug that needs to roll out for this release.  

We can commit to publishing a static page, in English only, that contains the Aurora download button, and a newsletter signup form.  

Stephen - is QA is available to test this before pushing to production?

We need to set the exact push date / time and get IT on board for the push.

We will define and kick off the remainder of the project the week of April 18th.

We're aiming for Wednesday morning blog post push, but I can't define an exact time.  All we know is that we will go to Build Tuesday afternoon.  We're somewhat at the mercy of build and release engineering to knowing the exact time that buids will be ready

I think that pushing the page live at 8am PDT is fine, and we may announce a little later in the morning or early afternoon.
