What’s up with SUMO – 30th October – The Mozilla Support Blog

Hello, SUMO Nation!

October is almost gone, here comes November… Are you ready? Are you celebrating something scary and gloomy in the coming days? We recommend you keep warm and happy using the most ancient of alchemies… tea & cookies!

Oh, right, one more thing… Have you heard about MOSS already? Nope? Read more here!

Welcome, New Contributors!

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

Contributors of the last week

Jameson Green for appearing out of nowhere and bringing a very important project with him – thank you!
Jobava, Cristian, and all the Romanian localizers who brought Romanian to 100% UI completion – multumesc!

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, 2nd of November. 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).
