What’s up with SUMO – 23rd October – The Mozilla Support Blog

Hello, SUMO Nation!

Here we are, another Friday, another bunch of updates for you. Autumn is fully upon us, and the time change coming this weekend is letting some of us sleep more – hooray! Anyway, sleep aside, here are the news in brief:

Welcome, New Contributors!

If you joined us recently, don’t hesitate – come over and say “hi” in the forums!

Contributors of the last week

Biraj – for writing articles for the upcoming release – thank you!
Everyone who participated in last week’s SUMO KB Day!

We salute you!

Don’t forget that if you are new to SUMO and someone helped you get started in a nice way you can nominate them for the Buddy of the Month!

Last SUMO Community meeting

You can read the notes here and see the video on our YouTube channel.

Reminder: the next SUMO Community meeting…

…is going to take place on Monday, 26th of October. Join us!
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).

There was no meeting this week – Kadir is back next week.
