Thunderbird
- The beta channel has been updated with Thunderbird 8.

- If you hadn’t noticed, Thunderbird is starting to use Feature pages to track work. See the tb-planning topic for more information.

Drumbeat
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.
