Meeting Notes

Overall status:

28 localizations ready and signed off for Firefox 5,
34 are successfully building and ready to go and the remaining 48 need a small amount of work to be ready for 5.0.
Outreach started to teams that need to dedicate some time to ship with 5.0

Axel to connect with Legnito on things needed for the Aurora to Beta Merge for l10n

We're on track with all engagement campaigns except for webifyme, which has a major delay.
markup has been test-launched and will be going live on Tuesday, May 17th
Stas has a call today to figure out more of the schedule and work plan for webify me. webifyme is a huge project for l10n and as such, it weigh heavily on localizers ability to do other things.

Cheat Codes for Fennec Desktop Build
- Did you know that there are many useful keyboard shortcuts and cheats (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Q to switch orientation, Ctrl+Shift+M to show context menu, etc.) that make the desktop build of Fennex behave a little more like the actual mobile version? See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Cheat_Codes for details. This may be useful for testing localization in context.
- There is also an add-on that simulates a virtual keyboard, by the way: https://addons.mozilla.org/af/mobile/addon/virtual-keyboard-for-fennec/
We need more LQA and test automation to catch issues with our mobile builds in all languages
We are working on Language Packages in AMO
