    • Martijn is working on a Mobile MozillaZine
      • QMO needs to have more data in it. it's pretty empty right now
      • Jetpack: find ways to target students that might be want to develop addons using the SDK and addons builder
        • Ayan has setup a meeting with the professor at SJSU that teaches QA
        • Talk to Nick from AMO to get some
      • Graduated Lab Extensions: lab teams all have their own project pages. QMO should have the same kind of thing. Pointers to those kinds of documentations
      • More advertising on help like adding testcases, owning features
      • Utilizing the lab forums, and doing more advertising QA and testing to those channels (sync google group is pretty active)

• QA Work Week
  • Proposed discussions
  • For my common QA practices one, prepare to share examples of team processes, delivery mechanisms, and bugzilla usage so we can use to identify points
  • Add your ideas to the list
  • Team videos
    • Remotees should have been contacted to shoot soccer intro video. if not, contact marcia
    • Matt's science fair idea (matt to clarify)
      • discussion A more in depth of what each team does. fireside-chat talking about what we focus on, what projects are we working on
      • have people sit around a table, do a quick demo, and film dave interviewing (as a robot) each person while they present their demo
      • lower priority item
      • Tracy has storyboard experience. many of these things might be voice-over'd.
  • Team Slide presentation (matt to clarify)
    • Present slides on projects we are working on (eg. how Sync and Test Pilot evolved from labs to firefox, The lifecycle of mobile QA release)
    • Q: is this going to be a presentation to a group, or something on slideshare?
    • discussion expand on the team overview at the summit. Each team has an overview page, actually do a whole presentation on what the team does. presentation on each team page. at the team level, maybe a presentation around 10 minutes for each product. Perhaps use the firechat conversation and overlay a handful of slides. For the most part, it should be pretty close to each other
    • this came out of the notion that we are branching out into the community and present to different groups. Create a slide deck similiar to keynote slides.

• New staffing
  • Naoki - mobile QA
  • Cameron - firefox / automation QA
