Standing Agenda Items

Weekly Team Update from Jason

  • Several of you have asked for approval for things like iPod Touches, other hardware, etc. Stop Asking. If you need something for a presentation or development, just do it.
  • Also, you decide where you travel. See something we should be at? Go. We have budget for more than a dozen trips per quarter for the whole group. We have plenty of headroom, and you're paid to use it.
  • We also have budget for speaker coaching; Havi's looking into a few potential coaches.
    • sole thinks this is interesting! +1 (callahad)
  • Corporate cards are a possibility in Q2 if you'd rather have that. Need to have a quarter's worth of data first.
  • We're seeing a lot of StackOverflow activity on Firefox / HTML5 related tags. Please monitor those.

Reminders


Other Topics

Keeping up with Fx Release Cadence

(dietrich) We've talked about writing up each branch event on Hacks. What's new, what's changed, etc. Rotate it around the various team members, write a few demos, etc. Should we pack it into one post (stable+beta+deved), or splitting it into two posts between stable and nightly/deved.

(jason) For Nightly, keep focus on just-in-time posts. Beyond that, DevEdition is the only channel we really care about on Hacks, so write that up and have footnotes on what's been promoted.

(potch) I like writing up DevEdition releases and building a continuous chain by pointing back to the previous posts each week.

Hacks Timing / Process

(havi) Is emailing devrel the best path to get technical review for posts, with MDN techwriters CC'd?

(potch) Works for me. Async, lets multiple people look at it.

Sponsorship Branding

(callahad) Mozilla? Firefox? Firefox Developer Edition?

(consensus)

Q & A

callahad: Are these meeting minutes helpful?

'all: Yes.

Anything Else?

(sole) Yes! The Stickers?

(dietrich) We have lots of Flames. Inventory sitting in west coast offices. Process: Fill out a Service Now ticket... or just tell Dietrich.

(potch) FYI internal Firefox iOS dogfooding starting up.
