Hello, SUMO Nation!
How is everyone doing? Chilling out to the tunes everyone’s sharing in the Off-Topic forums, perhaps? Or maybe you’re out and about in the spring freshness? Well, that only makes sense if your local spring actually is about the weather getting better… Is it? ;-)
Here are the latest news from the world of SUMO! And still more to come over the next few days…
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 possibly happening on WEDNESDAY the 13th of April – 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.
