What’s up with SUMO – 6th March – The Mozilla Support Blog

Modern times have modern reasons to celebrate. We’re in the age of connectivity, so Firefox Hello Day took place on the 3rd of March. Are you one of the many who sent a “Hello!” to the rest of the world? If you look carefully, you may find a couple of friendly faces there ;-)

SUMO keeps on growing – thanks to you!

I’m pretty sure there’s more of you, but you keep silent and hide in the shadows… And that’s fine, too! If you’re not on the list and you joined us recently, remember to introduce yourself.

You can find the agenda and notes here: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/sumo-2015-03-02, and the video below:

…is going to take place on Monday, 9th of March. Join us if you can! We aim to make this a “special edition” meeting with one of the Firefox developers, KaiRo. If you like it and it works out, we’ll have more similar Monday “specials”.
As a rule, if you want to add a discussion topic to upcoming the live meeting agenda:
- Start a thread in the Community Forums, so that everyone in the community can see what will be discussed and voice their opinion here before Monday (this will make it easier to have an efficient meeting).
- Please do so as soon as you can before the meeting, so that people have time to read, think, and reply (and also add it to the agenda).

Thanks to Philipp for organizing the upcoming Monday “special edition” meeting that’s mentioned above and being always two steps ahead of everyone – kudos!

The latest Platform meeting notes can be found here. Here are the highlights!
The roadmap items for Q2 are open for your review and comments.
Our progress in Q2 will depend on (as of yet undecided) the number of developers ready to work on Kitsune.
Due to BuddyUp development requiring more brainpower, we have to slow down a bit with the Community Metrics & Hub redesign – but we are not dropping any of our original plans. We still expect to have the basic dashboard ready by end of March.
Kitsune is always there for you to hack! Just read the docs and fork us on GitHub.
In BuddyUp land – Rehan is working on oustanding release blockers and if all goes according to plan, BuddyUp will be ready by end of March – yay!
Finally, huge thanks to Derek for his UX contributions and visual design leadership in all the projects he was a consultant for. See you around!

Madalina is planning to organize a Bugzilla triaging session for support forum bugs during the week of March 16. If you’re interested please drop her a PM.

The “Hot Topics” category will be on the Heartbeat feedback page. If you notice new issues in the support forum, let Joni know so they can be added to Hot Topics.
Two brand new articles for Firefox 38: Firefox Reading List – Save, sync and read pages anywhere and Firefox Reader View – distraction-free web pages

Thanks to Michele and Simone, the two Italian l10ns (rawr!) I met with on Monday – it was definitely informative and fun to chat with you, gentlemen.
L10n Vidyo meetups are a thing now! The next ones are happening next week in the SUMO Vidyo room (you need to install the free Vidyo client to connect) at the following days/times: Tuesday and Thursday – use the “Show another time zone” to figure out your locale time. Looking forward to seeing you there and chatting about SUMO l10n.

One final thought: International Women’s Day is on March 8th – that’s this Sunday!

Don’t forget about WoMoz and make sure this year’s celebrations continue every single day until the next one :-)

Oh, yes, also – some countries are updating their time this Sunday… Don’t forget or miss out on lost time!
