Tracks

The L10n tracks and QA tracks will consist of sessions/workshops/brainstormings/lightning talks all related to localization and quality assurance.

The DEV tracks will encompass lots of different sub-areas (eg. Firefox, Thunderbird, Fennec; Add-ons, Labs etc..).

To define the DEV tracks topics and their format, "track leaders" have been identified and have been asked to brainstorm with their teams and active members of the Mozilla community on topics they would like to tackle and the participants they would like to invite.

Since the conference is, logistically speaking, just around the corner, it is important that all track leaders get back to Mozilla Europe by August 1st with their session suggestions and a list of up to 15 people they think Mozilla Europe should invite and suggested topics for your tracks.

• Identified "Track leaders" :
  • L10n: Seth Bindernagel
  • Dev: Paul Rouget, Gandalf and Brian King - topics - draft
  • Advocacy: Patrick Finch and Paul Rouget - topics - draft
  • QA: Marcia Knous
