Verbal Updates

Announcements / Requests for Help / Discussion Topics

  • [Jen] Update on DevRel website progress – if you want to know what's up (eavesdrop) get a Basecamp login. Would like to set a meeting with Belén.
  • [Jen] Update on Grid Inspector Tool — Would like to set a meeting with Potch.
    • He is available :)
  • [Potch] CascadiaJS was snazzy!
  • [Callahad] WebCompat stats / talking points:
    • Chrome only represents 50% of the aggregate desktop, tablet, and mobile web: http://gs.statcounter.com/#all-browser-ww-monthly-201506-201606 -- if you're only testing on Chrome, half of your customers won't be able to pay you money.
    • Also, users may not have a choice: iOS, company laptops, library terminals, and smart devices all restrict browser options.

  • My favourite web audio insider is actually on holidays so it took longer to fact-check all the points in the web audio article. Done now! Waiting for reviews and then to formatting and publishing. People are getting excited already: https://twitter.com/supersole/status/762597192267919360 (14 likes for a vague tweet, not bad)
  • Wrote a few interesting simple demos for the Web Audio examples repo: https://mozdevs.github.io/WebAudio-examples/ plus filed lots of follow up issues for other demos that we'll need writing to illustrate common Web Audio practices. If you want to take one of the issues and learn web audio, ping me! https://github.com/mozdevs/WebAudio-examples/issues
