Weekly Team Update from Jason
- Bonuses set, you'll hear more in your 1:1.
- Trip report form still in the works, expect to discuss it next week.

Verbal Highlights
Anything blocking you? Anything interesting to report?

- Currently, no "unbranded Release / Beta builds" for people to test with, which we had promised. So... wtf?
- [callahad]: e10s plan is to *very* slowly phase in during 2016 based on existing add-on compatibility, probably not on for everyone until mid-2017
- [callahad]: DevRel Dashboard is at http://mozdevs.github.io/devrel-dashboard/

Q & A
Anything Else?
[Jen] hi, I can't be on the call because I have another meeting at the same time, but I wanted to ask that everyone who's received an email from me about the Basecamp project for the DevRel website please do respond. I want to keep the ball rolling on this project, and that will best happen through communicating on Basecamp. Let me know if you have any questions, blockers, or concerns. Thanks!
