Friends of Mozilla 
- Saurabh Nair is MDN Contributor of the Month for May 2015! He helps out wherever needed on MDN, including tirelessly squashing spam. He writes "It fills me with pride every time I see one of the articles I wrote translated by someone I don’t know to some language I can’t read. Seriously, I feel like Shakespeare right about then."
- Congratulations to our newest Friend of Marketplace, Ram Dayal Vaishnav, Mozilla evangelist and community-builder who organized a successful Marketplace Day event in Hyderabad last month.
