[OSCTC-planning] Moving forward on specific projects to have bugs lined up for Princeton project time

[Asheesh Laroia]

OMG HELLO JOSH THE AMAZING

I'm torn, as I love Firefox, but I have seen build times be a problem
at these events. We could clearly indicate that it only applies for
people meeting has high system requirements -- 4GB or more RAM, 10GB
of disk space, what else would you suggest? What installed pre-reqs
(XCode? anything else for a Mac?) would be needed?

Also, we could remark that it's going to take 45 min to build, so tell
them to get started on that with a mentor during lunch.

I would love to give it a shot if we're willing to indicate to
attendees they're guinea pigs for a version 2 that would work even
better. I think listing pre-requisites and getting a head-start on the
build during lunch would fix the most important issues.
