Next Week

Saturday, 12 February: Dare2BeDigital conference, Tech Museum: Mozilla will be running a video booth at the Dare2BDigital conference for young women (13-16) teaching girls how HTML5 and open video lets you run your own show - no YouTube or Flash needed! The key component of this tutorial will be demonstrating the Universal Subtitles project and we need localizers to show them how it works in realtime. Sign up to help in-person or online here.

Firefox 4

• We're still processing the feedback, but beta 10 looks great!
• Firefox 4 is awesome. Users want us to release. We're doing great work (~318 bugs fixed since beta 10) and converging, but slightly slower than anticipated
  • 35 betaN hardblockers (down from 50 last week)
  • 32 final hardblockers (down from 38 last week)
• We will decide about beta 11 (and a possible 12) by this Tuesday (tomorrow)
  • See the newsgroup post for reasoning / options
    • tl;dr - If we think we can get all betaN hardblockers by this Friday, we will build this Friday. If we think they will take longer, we build this Tuesday to get coverage for the >318 fixes we already have

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
