Hello, SUMO Nation!
July’s almost over… but our updates are not, obviously :-) How have you been? Are you melting in the shade or freezing in the sun? Maybe both? ;-) Here are the hotte… no, wait, the coolest news on the web, for your eyes only!
Welcome, new contributors!
If you just joined us, don’t hesitate – come over and say “hi” in the forums!
Most recent SUMO Community meeting
- You can read the notes here and see the video at AirMozilla.
The next SUMO Community meeting…
- …is happening on the 3rd of August!
- 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
- PLATFORM REMINDER! The Platform Meetings are BACK! If you missed the previous ones, here is the etherpad, with links to the recordings on AirMo.
- UPDATE! We’re in the final stages of negotations and contracting details. More details as we have them (most likely in a special blog post dedicated to just the platform)
- On a slightly less serious front… E10s is coming! (thank you, Jobava!)
- 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
- REMINDER: A social sprint for Firefox 48 is taking place soon, stay tuned for more news soon! Repeat after me – AUGUST THE SECOND! (almost a Polish king)
- 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
- For those who are getting ready for the new update coming up on August 2nd, see what’s new in beta and what made the cut for Version 48!
- Now, some E10s for realsies – learn more straight from Asa!
- ! We’re looking forward to seeing you in the forums for SUMO days!
Firefox
- for Android
- Version 48 coming August 2nd.
- for Desktop
- Version 48 coming August 2nd.
Thus, between a Firefox for iOS and a Firefox for Desktop and Android released into the wild wide web – that’s a lot of heat! Now I know why it’s so easy to sweat nowadays. Well, maybe there will be some relief in the weeks between releases ;-) Winter is coming! Slowly, but surely…
Keep rocking the helpful web, SUMO Nation!
