All-hands Status Meeting Agenda
Items in this section will be shared during the live all-hand status meeting.
Friends of Mozilla
- Thanks to Loïc Cuguen and Cédric Ravalec, co-founders of Phoxygen, for hosting another Firefox OS community meetup in Paris Office; yesterday's highlights were a description of Gaia's new architecture by Firefox OS' Julien Wajsberg, and a presentation around the Battery API's latest changes. William Quiviger also revealed everything about the excellent newest Firefox OS Community Website. And thanks a lot to Guillaume Canavaggio for staying late to record this for AirMo.
- The add-ons team would like to thank Larissa Shapiro for helping to wrangle signing and other big projects that impact our developer community the past few quarters. We offer her our best wishes and support as she steps into her new role as program manager for Diversity and Inclusion!
- Thanks to Lithopsian for helping developers in the add-on forums!
- Thanks to the outgoing Featured Add-ons Board, who selected all the add-ons featured on AMO in the past six months--Kailas, Balaji, Jithin, Gautam, and Jayakumar. And a big thanks to Michael Balazs, who provided leadership and guidance to the group!

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. 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. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 "widescreen" format, please indicate in the "Sharing" column below.
