What’s up with SUMO – August 29th

Hey, everyone! Michał here. I’m not as good with cameras and videos as Michael Verdi (yet!), so for now you’ll have to read me. I’m pretty sure you don’t mind. Just read it in Morgan Freeman’s voice and imagine penguins running around, that should make it more fun ;-).

The goings-on

Firefox OS launch in India

• As you all know, Firefox OS officially launched this Monday in India. Our Indian friends have shown immense support from the very start, first by translating KB articles into the three Indian languages we display in SUMO, and then by helping out directly in the support forums. Huge thanks to you all! We could not have gotten this far without you.
• If you’re wondering how to become a contributor with Mozilla India, take a look at the group’s Facebook page or visit the forums and say hi!
• We’re still pushing to get to 100% with all help content for Hindi, Bengali (for India), and Tamil – if you’re interested in helping out, click the language link in this sentence and send the Locale Leaders a private message to get started.

The Buddy Program is back!

• We are reinstating the regular Friday meetings for people already taking part and those interested in joining the Buddy Program. You can find the notes from today’s meeting here. More details soon!

Firefox OS launch in Bangladesh

• With India already using FF OS phones, it’s time for Bangladesh! We hope to get more users of Bengali in Bangladesh to join our localization drive for the Firefox OS help articles. Interested? Just click the link in this paragraph and contact the Locale Leaders through a Private Message for more information. You can also connect with Mozilla Bangladesh through their Facebook group.

SUMO at MozFest 2014!

• centurion has put together a session proposal combining his interest for Webmaker and localization. We’ll keep you updated about SUMO’s presence during MozFest 2014. Big thanks to centurion for coming up with a great idea!

Last but not least, John99 found a couple of new friends for all of us ;-) Thanks, John99!
