What’s Up with SUMO – 19th May – The Mozilla Support Blog

Hello, SUMO Nation!

Glad to see all of you on this side of spring… How are you doing? Have you missed us as much as we missed you? Here we go yet again, another small collection of updates for your reading pleasure :-)

Welcome, new contributors!

If you just joined us, don’t hesitate – come over and say “hi” in the forums!

Contributors of the week

We salute you!

Don’t forget that if you are new to SUMO and someone helped you get started in a nice way you can nominate them for the Buddy of the Month!

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 25th of May – 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

Got ideas? Not afraid of dinos? Take a look here!
Last Saturday in Abidjan is going to be showcased at a blog near you, soon – thanks to Abbackar’s reporting skills :-)
Reminder: we are slowly reaching the end of the discussions and presentations about possible platform substitutions for Kitsune, as per this thread. We have received a lot of your feedback already, but we are always eager to hear more from you. Let us know what you think and add you thoughts to this document.
Ongoing reminder #1: 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.
Ongoing reminder #2: 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!
Ongoing reminder #3: want to know what’s going on with the Admins? Check this thread in the forum.

Social

The resident socialites are working on activity reports – stay tuned for more details!
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.

Support Forum

Check out Test Pilot if you have not already, there is a discussion going on here.
Rachel says: “Thank you for all of you answering questions and editing and cleaning out articles this week, it is much appreciated!”
Please report bugs that were filed from support threads in the last 3 weeks – contact Rachel

Knowledge Base & L10n

The Polish team have reached their monthly milestone – congratulations!
Final reminder: if you want to participate in the ongoing discussion about source material quality and frequency, take a look at this thread. We are going to propose a potential way of addressing your issues once we collate enough feedback.
Reminder: L10n hackathons everywhere! Find your people and get organized!

Firefox

for Android
- Version 46 support discussion thread.
- Reminder: version 47 will stop supporting Gingerbread. High time to update your Android installations!
  - Other than that, it should be a minor release. Documentation in progress!

for Desktop
- For the main thread on our forums about Firefox 46, click here.
- Version 47 should not bring any revolution, but it will be as good as the previous ones… if not better ;-)

for iOS
- Firefox for iOS 4.0 IS HERE!
- Firefox for iOS 5.0 should be with us in approximately 5 weeks!

And that’s it! We hope you are looking forward to the end of this week and the beginning of the next one… We surely are! Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter!
