Example:
 
== '''How to Improve Thunderbird Documentation''' ==
 
Type: Discussion (an alternative would be presentation)
 
Host/Speaker: [mailto:ryan@thunderbird.net Ryan Sipes [:ryanleesipes<nowiki>]</nowiki>]
 
This discussion would cover how we might improve developer and enterprise user documentation. Would also like to touch on how to make the developer documentation easier to find for new contributors.
 
== '''How to begin with Thunderbird Development: A guide for University students and Junior Developers''' ==
 
Type: Presentation & Discussion
 
Host/Speaker: [mailto:khushil@thunderbird.net Khushil Mistry [:khushil324<nowiki>]</nowiki>]
 
This presentation and discussion would cover my journey as a GSoC student and Thunderbird Intern. I will talk about the difficulties I faced and how university students and junior developers can start their contribution with Thunderbird.
 
== '''Why we might want to start type checking our JavaScript and how that could even work''' ==
 
Type: Presentation & Discussion
 
Host/Speaker: [mailto:paul@thunderbird.net Paul Morris [:pmorris<nowiki>]</nowiki>]
 
JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, but now [https://www.typescriptlang.org/ TypeScript]'s tooling can be used to statically [https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-checking-javascript-files.html type check plain vanilla JavaScript files] (with some help from [https://jsdoc.app/ JSDoc]). Type checking offers various benefits that include catching certain classes of bugs sooner (before they get to users) and making code easier to understand. Tools like ESLint and Prettier have improved Thunderbird's JavaScript code and developer experience. Would type checking be a good next step and how might that work?
 
== '''Developing integrated OpenPGP support''' ==
 
Type: Presentation & Discussion
 
Host/Speaker: [mailto:kaie@kuix.de Kai Engert [:kaie<nowiki>]</nowiki>]
 
An update will be given on the progress of the ongoing effort to add integrated OpenPGP support to Thunderbird, about the work that is still ahead of us, and we'll discuss your questions.
 
== '''Thunderbird 78 Overview''' ==
 
Type: Presentation & Discussion
 
Host/Speaker: [mailto:mkmelin@thunderbird.net Magnus Melin [:mkmelin<nowiki>]</nowiki>]
 
Thunderbird 78 is coming up in mid 2020. Overview of what we can expect to see it that.
