Firefox OS

Speaker Location: no audio

  • 1.0.1
    • Highest priority is closing blocker bugs raised by the remaining certification passes by downstream partners. This set of bugs will rise and fall with each successive phase of testing. Rolling, rolling, rolling…
  • 1.1
    • Nearly feature-complete, waiting only for a few more Mail features and then MMS (a massive beast of a spec) support landing in the next couple of weeks.
  • Kumar McMillan’s Hacks.m.o post on Navigator.pay() got a ton of internet attention over the weekend, even making it onto BoingBoing.net.

Grow Mozilla

Speaker Location: San Francisco

There was a Community Builders meetup in Toronto a couple of weeks ago where employees and volunteers from across the project worked on plans to address the highest priority community building needs. This group created a lot of things that will help all teams and local communities bring in new contributors.

If you’re interested in bringing in new contributors to your project, now is the perfect time since the opportunity has never been greater. When we encouraged people to get involved with Mozilla as part of promotions for Mozilla’s 15th anniversary, we had over 1,600 potential volunteers contact us in a single day.
