  • last two days — hosted CSS Grid Workshop here in NYC. 9 people including Rachel Andrew, Fantasai, and Jared Wein from Mozilla. Folks from NYTimes and Vimeo, folks who flew in from Spain, Chicago, UK.
   As a group we were rethinking the subgrid spec. 
   Committed to lobby Mozilla & Igalia (who's doing Blink and webkit implementions) to not ship Grid without Subgrid. Which will push it all back 6-8+ months, but we have to. Have to. 
   No Grids Without Subgrids!  
   This weekend just reconfirmed (more so): Grid is going to be huge. And hard for people to learn. Tons of need = Tons of opportunity.

  • lobbying secret people at Apple to ship webkit bug fix for Initial Letter

Other Topics

(Try to keep things timeboxed and concrete. E.g., can we actually make a yes/no decision in this meeting? If not, discuss on list first.)

  • we haven't updated the minutes since october 2015, should we have a 'sprint' sometime this week and move them over to the wiki? Divide and conquer and all that https://wiki.mozilla.org/Devrel/Minutes#2015 - should be fun with more people
