      • We're going to encourage blogging and/or contact to locales. (action:mic) Talk to Henrick & Christian about blogging.
    • Should we start filing shipping bugs? (ie. a bug for each locale that is shipping so we can mark as blocking, etc.)
      • Yep (action:axel) will file bugs
      • We need to find the webservices bugs that Mic filed and make sure they block the right bugs (action:axel)
  • FOSDEM
    • If we could get key people (Friedel and Dwayne) and Schrep together at the conference, decisions could be made on the fly.
      • If anyone has concerns about this, talk to Mic or Seth.
  • Tools
    • Axel has an incomplete view of where we are at, specifically with what proposals exist for what tools
      • (action:mic & seth) executive summary of current proposals
    • Overview:
      • Dwayne and Friedel
        • Have submitted a revised proposal. Answered a lot of our questions. Have gotten their latest proposal yesterday.
      • Gandalf
        • Received yesterday. Seth in discussions with Mic. Have asked what Gandalf needs, no word yet. He would like to license under tri-license.
      • Alexandru
        • Submitted a closed source web translation tool. Seth & Mic to talk with him at 10am today.
      • Ricardo
        • Submitted his PhD project. Haven't discussed with him yet. He left pretty detailed comments on Seth's blog.
      • Danilo & co. (launchpad)

        • Any progress on licensing compatibility here?
          • No. Hopefully can meet up at FOSDEM.
    • These seem entirely focused on FF L10n. Is there any concern over localizing web resources?
