  • A month back, we assembled a tiger team on the community goal.
    • Mark Surman, Mitchell, Mary Ellen Muckerman, David Boswell, Brian King, Michelle Thorne, Kristin Baird
    • Working with community teams from across Mozilla
  • Our first action is to pilot the idea of “contribution challenges” to tie the volunteer community to new initiatives that aim to have immediate term impact on topline goals.
  • Over this past weekend, the team worked with the reps at RemoCamp this weekend to iterate and advance the challenges and define volunteer community ownership.
  • Working with the business owner for each goal, these are the challenges that we have prioritized to do between now and the end of the year:
  • Firefox : Firefox 10 and Growth
    • Define a number of initiatives that promote Firefox growth, that we can test during the Firefox 10 campaign. These are a combination of promotions based around events, product features, and so on. The ultimate goal is drive downloads.
  • FXOS Local Presence:
    • Produce a large volume of high quality hyper-local content for FXOS users in India and Mexico, in a very short time frame, and in parallel, train Mozillians to become skilled evangelists and developer mentors to ensure long-term sustained support and mentorship for local developers creating hyper-local content for FXOS
  • FXOS in market Communications:
    • Enable our local communities to be the ongoing voice of FFOS / mozilla in their locales through a range of communications channels, as appropriate in their locals.
  • FXOS + Webmaker:
    • Training and user surveys that help us understand ways that ‘user generated apps’ can solve problems for the next billion web users.
    • Will actively play a role in shipping Mobile Webmaker (aka Appmaker) through user testing at Maker Parties and conduct interviews with feature phone users to understand the problems they want to solve.
  • Tiles:
    • Define a system to generate content for regional community tiles in 20 launch markets for October 15 and put an ongoing structure in place for regional communities to own the content schedule for regional community tiles.

  • As noted last meeting, we’re actively looking for new ways community can have impact on topline goals in Q3/Q4.
  • We’ve developed a tentative set of goals for this time frame, which are:
    • Maintain momentum on our community goal (Q3/4)
    • Start new community initiatives / challenges that interest volunteers and have positive impact on our product goals (Q3/4)
    • Involve leadership from across the project and within regional communities (Q3/4)
    • Design an even more ambitious plan for 2015+ (Q4)
  • We’ll be discussing these goals and short term community ‘challenges’ tied to products at ReMo camp in Berlin next weekend.
  • Full update from Mitchell / Surman coming on this topic next week. Non-verbal for today.

Web Compat

Apps & Marketplace

Mobile Partner Site

  • The Mobile Partner site (https://mobilepartners.mozilla.org/) is part of Mozilla’s initiative to scale the delivery of Firefox OS devices. The site is specifically targeted to provide self-serve support to the retail/open Market distribution channels and lower volume operators. The intent is to make everything the partner needs to create a Branded Powered by Firefox OS or Firefox OS Inside device available in a curated, guided site with complete and up to date information regarding our product. In order to distribute a Mozilla branded device, Partners must register on the site, accept the click through Prototype agreement, complete and pass Mozilla’s certification process and sign Branding Terms.
  • With the help of the Mozilla Beijing team we are in the process of translating the site to Chinese. We expect to have Chinese (in addition to English) available online by Sept 1.
  • If you are interested in understanding all the steps that a partner needs to undertake in order to bring a Firefox OS device to market, we invite you to visit the site. Its perfectly ok for you to register on the site and accept the prototype branding agreement so that you can have full access to the site – we just request that you use your Mozilla.com email address if you are on Mozilla staff or clearly identify yourself as a contributor so that our Bus Dev team can determine ‘real’ potential partners. We welcome your input and contribution to making it the best site possible!
  • Also we are planning a brown bag on Sept 4, so please plan to join Adam Rogers, Ben Sternthal and Karen Ward on Airmozilla on that date!

All-hands Status Meeting Agenda

Items in this section will be shared during the live all-hand status meeting.

Friends of Mozilla

Huge kudos to Benjamin Kerensa!
Benjamin is a super active rep, a former WebFWD Scout and key contributor for Release Management. Most recently served as chief herder for Mozilla’s presence at OSCON. He not only spoke, but organized two large social events and Mozilla’s social media presence (and more). If that weren’t enough, Benjamin also served as a critical subject matter expert on CDNs, sussing out vendors for hosting the Flame developer phone builds. Please take a minute to tweet, email or give Benjamin a fist bump if you are up in PDX!

Many thanks to Linear Li in the Taipei office for producing the first-ever Intern Brownbags on Air Mozilla from the Taipei Office. They’re in the Mozilla Intern – 2014, and Taipei channels on AirMo. Borting Chen discusses his work on the Resource Statistics API, Ricky Chien talks about integrating test report coverage into the Gaia unit testing framework, Test Agent, and KD Chang presents work on the MozPost recommendation system and Huhu, a bookmarklet that lets you keep a virtual pet in Firefox.

Nagarjuna Verma and Rahid Hasan of the Mozilla South Asia community are no longer with us as recently reported but their contributions and positive impact in the Mozilla Community will always be remembered.

Thanks to Sami Jaktholm for fixing lots of Devtools bugs including some frequent test failures.

Codingfree is the latest app reviewer to reach level 6 of the reviewer program, with 97,068 points–congrats!

Thanks to erosman and XrXr, new to the add-on review team, who are off to a good start and have helped greatly reduce the length of the AMO review queues.

Björn Steinbrink has written dozens of optimizations for Rust. In the last two weeks he taught LLVM to reuse empty stack slots, making Rust significantly more efficient.

Congrats to Clint Talbert, this week’s community building superstar!

Who are you? Area of question Question
What’s your name? What do you work on? Is your question about policy, a product, a Foundation initiative, etc. What would you like to know?
kats No question, but wanted to make sure people are aware of the proposed changes to the privacy policy and that they should weigh in if they have feedback. See the post by Alina on mozilla.governance: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.governance/GWlFuAl6Kho

Status Updates By Team (*non-voice* updates)

IT

Vidyo Desktop

  • Global audio dial in numbers are now accessible though Vidyo client. To access, open the Vidyo Desktop client, login w/ LDAP credentials, then select the “Invite by Email” icon that looks like a piece of mail – this button will open your default email client and provide you with global dial-in numbers as well as your public link to your Vidyo room.
  • Dial-In info also avail here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Teleconferencing#Dialing_In

SFO Boardroom Display Upgrade

  • To reduce room start-up and shut-down times, bring the conference room up to Mozilla’s latest AV standards, and help improve seamless conferencing – the SFO Boardroom displays have been upgraded. Two 90″ displays (yes, two 90 inch displays) have been added as a replacement to the single projector w/ drop down screen. Next time you are in SFO, book out the Boardroom and let us know what you think of the upgrade!
