Community Development (sethb and pascal)

• Community Pack: populating Gandalf's wiki
• Chofmann and Sethb to meet
• Romanian community: Alexandru and Adina, will also help with Catalan community
• Greek Community: New Greek localizer to replaces Costas; also working with George. Also, 8 volunteers to build Greek community.
• Pascalc will be in Barcelona and Madrid to party!! (Only where there is good food...and wine...)
• Blog more about localizers' effort over the past weeks. Axel and Mic are going to do that
• Persian...on Mic's to-do, get to a launch

Firefox (axel, mic)

• Downloads per locale
• If people ask us, we can give download numbers for what we know... what kind of impact will you get if you give this information? Good news and bad news in presenting the number...
• Brian King example: don't have a baseline comparison and what the exact download counts are for Slovene (don't know update cycles...), but once this settles, we'll run out of disclaimers to give and then it will be just hard facts.

         o Show trends, Geo-IP data, total downloads...let's start the conversation with this stuff...

Firefox 3.1 and 3.0.1, additional locales (axel and mic)

• 3.1 still a little blurry in Axel's head. Timing and what we need will come up or will we have to work around? Still seems pretty unclear.
• 3.0.1 going to be a bunch of updates for bug fixes that we didn't fix in 3.0...

         o approval flag is there, but we need Beltzner to start approving stuff
         o numerous locales in incubator have asked if they can go in 3.0.1
               + Surprising since they haven't done much to update from FF2 to FF3
               + Branch will remain in its state
               + Could be difficult, given work that needs to be done

Summit

• Number of sessions proposed
• http://wiki.mozilla.org/Summit2008/Sessions/Proposals#L10n_Related
• Have sessions been moved from proposal stage to a schedule?

         o Chofmann:  not yet.  He spoke with Asa and it's not in place yet.

• We'll meet sometime this week to coordinate
• Lots of crossover among various sessions, so let's use this week to work on presentations and get together
• Seth will ask Asa how schedule is managed

         o Do we want to do a block of time or have talks smattered over a few days
         o Example:  FF3 post mortem, interesting to l10n community, but should also be close to other post mortems
         o Schedule it so localizers can participate in other interesting things as well.
         o But we want main coders to participate in l10n stuff, like post mortem...
         o Might make sense to spread out the presentations

• Chofmann: we need a detailed outline of what topics need to be covered in each session

         o How widespread will the appeal be?  What is the audience?
         o Timing will then fall in line

Verbatim

• General call for Thursday, June 19 about features and what will go on in the demo

Round-table

• Yay for FF3!! Stories from Download Day...
