We should probably set some team-wide priorities for technologies we're evangelizing. Ideas:
- Firefox Dev Edition/Devtools
- Firefox OS - which part? developing for, or developing of?
- Platform APIs - let's pick a few top ones
- Games (mobile or desktop, both?) this is desktop mainly
- Moz VR - with hardware or cardboard? publishing content or
- Research Projects - which, and why?
- Things missing
  - performance (mobile, esp)
  - mobile web dev, hybrid even?
  - regular web dev needs
  - themes
- https://github.com/nickdesaulniers/BrazilJS2015/issues/1
We'll discuss those topics at the end of the meeting.
Jason is out of the office Tuesday through Thursday this week

Collected the core set of MDN Gaia contribution docs and asked dev-gaia to review
Down the f******* rabbit hole: Asked Gaia to review the contributor docs (above) which brought up that the contribute form doesn’t link to them - ok, let’s fix that… only to find that the contribute form now offers people a choice of donating money or attending a meeting… and nothing else. So let’s fix that too. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/contribute/tasks/?variation=2
