Thanks Novski for the hard work :)

Infrastructure

Documentation

• Updated the (MDN) sidebar (thx Luca :))

• Question: Did Novski published a guide on how he worked with porting to the Fairphone 2? I could be interesting for people new to the porting field

There some information in the (long) discourse topic https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/fairphone-2-build/8641/

Governance

• [Lapineige] I will submit my manifesto proposal (based on ben françis proposal) today on discourse

Council meeting this week ?

Communications

• Discourse category renamed to B2G OS
• We now have a spanish telegram group (there are almost 50 people) https://telegram.me/joinchat/AviCjADtM6axup5EyuVuiw

Great ! Don't forget to come on discourse too if you have technical questions or interesting information to share :)

• Should we translate the meeting notes in French and other languages? Where to put them so that they would appear in the wiki?

Too soon, it's extra efforts - but we have other priorities

• Tips from the world pad - https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/B2GOS_-_Tips_from_the_World

Good to use this to gather question from non-English speakers (but everyone can also report them from their national community forums/sites)

• We should warm again about the meetings on discourse every week - newcomers don't know there is a meeting

Round Table

• Looking for an Web RTC based alternative for video conference https://hubl.in/ (open source)

https://meet.jit.si/ is also great (free as freedom, privacy respectful) sounds great ! Then, let's move on to it. Sessions can be recorded with vokoscreen https://github.com/vkohaupt/vokoscreen

There is also Spreed IM but someone needs to install it

If we wanna test it (next week ?) let's warm on discourse first to be sure no one miss the info and use Vidyo. Let's try :-)

https://vroom.im/ it adds a collaborative pad (thanks to etherpad) (oh, jit.si also do it, nice :p)

we already have this pad, changing it will confuse people even more
