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.

The next SUMO Community meeting…

• …is happening on WEDNESDAY the 2nd of March – 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 Wednesday (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.

Developers

• You can see the current state of the backlog our developers are working on here.
• The latest SUMO Platform meeting notes can be found here. Notable news: Django 1.8 and HTTP 2.0 deployed on SUMO!

Community

• Brazilian SUMO members are getting ready to rock the spring – more details soon, thanks to Marco Aurélio!
• …so are our Tunisian friends, under the expert guidance of Synergy
• Ongoing reminder: if you want to write a guest blog post for the SUMO blog, let us know in the comments! Two posts are in the pipeline, but we do have a lot of space for yours, trust me.
• Ongoing reminder: if you think you can benefit from getting a second-hand device to help you with contributing to SUMO, you know where to find us.
