Friends of Mozilla
Thank you to Lyre Calliope, Jan Bambach, Jessilyn Davis, Brian King, and William Quiviger for being Community Building Superstars. You all are assets to the project, and we appreciate your dedication and motivation.
Thank you from the CBT to Sean Rich, Sheeri Cabral and Anurag Phadke for their contribution metrics help
Thank you to Ally Gibely for connecting Payam to people team contribution opportunities and stepping up to be the People team's Steward
you all rock!
Thanks to Shu-yu Guo for diagnosing the build system issue responsible for numerous orange builds on trunk recently, each requiring tree closure and a CLOBBER to fix. The entire JS team agrees he's a shoe-in for Friend of the Tree this week!

New Phonebook Awesomeness! (Integration of LDAP and WorkDay)
IT has been working with the HR team to make our staff phonebook more useable -- by syncing several fields with Workday (our HR system of record). Linking the two systems means the org chart in the phonebook is the same as it is in Workday, updated real-time.
The three fields that will be linked in phase one are:
- Your manager
- MozLocation (new field) : this is a new field that will use office names or designate you as a remote employee with province, state or country.
- Team (new field): name of the team you belong to.
You will still be able to update the following info on your individual phonebook entry:
- Indicate what projects you are working on
- Update your photo (hint: add one if you don't have one!)
- Update your office city and office country
- All contact information
This change will go into effect on Friday, June 13th. We will follow- up on Monday, Jun 16th to make sure everything went okay.
Speakers
The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week.
