Plan for this week: create screencasts for the DevEdition 40 release
Last week: Spoke at dev.Objective. Two talks, two panel appearances
- Valence is getting real-world use; several folks thanked me for it after the talk
Shipped a few Flames from our MV inventory, should arrive by tomorrow for most people.
- Miguel Ángel Pérez (@tayokoart) got one last week, flashed it to a nightly build, ran into issues with ADB, then updated the docs to make it easier for other people
  - Tweet
  - Docs Commit promoting "Enable Debug Mode" to its own section
Filed a handful of DevAdvocacy bugs
Successfully flashed FxOS on my Flame and Nexus 4, got sole's catserver working!
Reviewed two posts for Hacks: Flaki's Rust post and Wilson Page's WebComponents post
Bought a $200 HP Stream 11 laptop to test Spartan and Valence on Windows.
- Valence works just great after installing iTunes to get iOS drivers.
- Spartan / Edge is... OK-ish.
- Windows 10 is not too different from 8.1, but finally has virtual desktops!
- The Stream 11 is both surprisingly capable and surprisingly bad. Would not recommend.

went to JSConf BP - mixed immediate reaction but lots of good positive comments 1:1 from people. I guess Eastern Europes are shy!
talked to a lot of people, met people from various communities so that was cool!
gave a lot of feedback to platform, need to follow up and find/file bugs / mark with DevAdvocacy
I also gave three stacks of FirefoxDevTools/dev edition stickers away O_O
also need to write all this feedback to the devrel list
in Manchester for UpFrontConf tomorrow
travelling to Melbourne starting Wednesday, for CampJS Fri-Mon
next week Monday it's a bank holiday and also I'll recover the week-end days etc, will send email
