Hello, SUMO Nation!
How are you doing? March is here, and so are we with a new bunch of news and updates for you, hot off the SUMO-presses. Let’s get on with the show!
Welcome, new contributors!
Most recent SUMO Community meeting
- Reminder: WE HAVE MOVED TO WEDNESDAYS!
- You can read the notes here and see the video on our YouTube channel and at AirMozilla.
The next SUMO Community meeting…
- …is happening on WEDNESDAY the 9th 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
- We (Madalina, Kadir, Michał) have met in Berlin to discuss projects around retention and the Developer support we’ll need for them. More information soon!
- 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.
- Do you want to help us build Kitsune (the engine behind SUMO)? Read more about it here and fork it on GitHub!
Community
- Watch out for the upcoming guest post on this blog (tomorrow, by the look of it) by the mighty SUMO Bangladesh crew! (If you want to write a guest blog post for the SUMO blog, let us know in the comments!)
-
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.
