I'm currently looking for someone to green up the tests on Win64. Can we dedicate one machine instance (I'm assuming this is on AWS?) for the purpose of advancing this greenery project? Also, who is the point-person on Release Engineering that we should pull into the testing discussion?

The 'cedar' project branch has been building successfully using the new image. The plan is to migrate other branches over the next few weeks in this order: - remaining project branches - mozilla-central - mozilla-inbound, b2g-inbound - try - aurora - beta - release, mozilla-b2g18* - esr Wait times may increase for a short time on days that we cut over to the new build machines (since we are reimaging existing machines in chunks). We'll be keeping an eye on those wait times and adjusting the number of machines cut over if needed. Thunderbird comm-* branches will be cut over at the same time as their mozilla-* counterpart. The project branches will be cut over tomorrow and we'll let those build over the weekend before cutting over mozilla-central. I will send an email notification on this thread before and after a cutover so everyone knows the current status. Bug 781277 tracks this effort. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
