What’s Up with SUMO – 21st April

Hello, SUMO Nation!

Let’s get the big things out of the way – we met last week in Berlin to talk about where we are and what’s ahead of us. While you will see changes and updates appearing here and there around SUMO, the most crucial result is the start of a discussion about the future of our platform – a discussion about the technical future of SUMO. We need your feedback about it as soon as possible. Read more details here – and tell us what you think.

This is just the beginning of a discussion about one aspect of sumo, so please – don’t panic and remember: we are not going away, no content will be lost (but we may be archiving some obsolete stuff), no user will be left behind, and (on a less serious note) no chickens will have to cross the road – we swear!

Now, let’s get to the updates…

Most recent SUMO Community meeting

• 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 27th 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.

Community

• Once again – the most important news of the week (month?) – WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK.
• The second most important update… at least today ;-) We are looking for more contributors to our blog. Do you write on the web about open source, communities, SUMO, Mozilla… and more? Do let us know!
• Want to know what’s going on with the Admins? Check this thread in the forum.
• 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.

Social

• Madalina is plotting and planning for Sprinklr’s future and looking at other tools that could support our valiant Army of Awesome!
• Ongoing reminder: We have a training out there for all those interested in Social Support – talk to Madalina or Costenslayer on #AoA (IRC) for more information.
