Hello, SUMO Nation!
Last week went by like lightning, mainly due to FOSDEM 2016, but also due to the year speeding up – we’re already in February! What are the traditional festivals in your region this month? Let us know in the comments!
Welcome, new contributors!
Most recent SUMO Community meeting
- You can read the notes here and see the video on our YouTube channel and at AirMozilla.
- IMPORTANT: We are considering changing the way the meetings work. Help us figure out what’s best for you – join the discussion on the forums in this thread: (Monday) Community Meetings in 2016.
- One potential change is getting live SUMO meetings on Air Mozilla (this may include changing the day/time of the meeting)
The next SUMO Community meeting…
- is happening on Monday the 8th of February – join us!
- Reminder: if you want to add a discussion topic to the upcoming 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).
- If you can, please attend the meeting in person (or via IRC), so we can follow up on your discussion topic during the meeting with your feedback.
