Upcoming

Round Table

wsmwk

• developer needed to finish patch for topcrash Bug 789397 @ nsACString_internal::Assign due to out of range
  • rkent to look at it.

jcranmer

• started investigating potential mid-term solution for build system issues (pseudo-rework, concept at bug 1035599)

rkent

• Upcoming summit: funding, agenda, people list.

Question Time

• Regarding fundraising - I've heard that we might want to ask MoCo or MoFo for funds before we attempt to fundraise, because there is apparently money put aside for community events like this. I've been repeatedly directed to an internal form that allows us to request funds - but in order to do that, we need fixed numbers of attendees.
  • Should we try to get everybody funded, and if we get shot down, see what the minimum is, and then fundraise the rest.
