What’s Up with SUMO – 20th October

Hello, SUMO Nation!

We had a bit of a break, but we’re back! First, there was the meeting in Toronto with the Lithium team about the migration (which is coming along nicely), and then I took a short holiday. I missed you all, it’s great to be back, time to see what’s up in the world of SUMO!

Welcome, new contributors!

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

Contributors of the week

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!

SUMO Community meetings

  • LATEST ONE: 19th of October – you can read the notes here and see the video at AirMozilla.
  • NEXT ONE: happening on the 26th of October!
  • 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.

Knowledge Base & L10n

  • We are 3 weeks before next release / 1 week after current release What does that mean? (Reminder: we are following the process/schedule outlined here).
    • Joni will finalize next release content by the end of this week; no work for localizers for the next release yet
    • All existing content is open for editing and localization as usual; please focus on localizing the most recent / popular content
  • Migration: please check this spreadsheet to see which locales are going to be migrated in the first wave
    • Locale packages that will be migrated are marked as “match” and “needed” in the spreadsheet
    • Other locales will be stored as an archive at sumo-archive.mozilla.org – and will be added whenever there are contributors ready to keep working on them
    • We are also waiting for confirmation about the mechanics of l10n, we may be launching the first version without an l10n system built in – but all the localized content and UI will be there in all the locales listed in the spreadsheet above
  • Remember the MozPizza L10n Hackathon in Brazil? Take a look here!
