Reality Check FULL OF TYPOS PLEASE HELP post it notes reflecting the current situation

   Good
   More community meetups
   We do everything as community and we are really productive

   More people are using community webs
   Communication and familiraity in the community
   It is good to be heard and listended and see your impact
   Recruiting new contributors
   Local events
   Firefox 4 campaign
   Is great that mozillians are so cautious about l10n
   Over progress so far
   Firefox has more improvements
   Firefox is back in the Game
   Keyboard shortcuts
   AdBlockPlus
   Firefox Sync
   Pretty much everything (logos, graphics, thunderbird and content dev)
   Bad
   Communication
   Skype calls
   Using IRC
   Meeting medium/tools
   L10n
   localizers should not be expected to have programming skills
   translation procedure is too complicated
   l10n needs too many tool (all you need is a browser)
   weird l10n file formats
   doesn't support updating l10n
   lack of translation memory
   lots of unfinished l10n
   Community
   Low participation for the balkans call/apathy
   Loneliness isolation no movenmet
   Edo discouraged about mozilla / l10n team
   not enough enthusiasm
   Albania has very low delegation
   Delegation is low
   Headcount is low
   People do not know how to start contirbuting
   Our calls are not so good
   All the time we are repeating
   l10n is always the focus
   We need more managers to help starting locales

   Bogo said that IRC takes a lot of time
   Chofmann asked what we did on the meetings
   William outlined the structure
   Nice quality on skype *but*
   No notes have been taken so far
   Rotating leadership did not work out
   Pierros suggested one leader till the next event
   Chofmanm suggested to start planning for next event from now so we can focus on the content of it (Vito agreed)
   We should prepare presentation for each meet-up (every community)
   Pushing responsibilities to the edges (WilliamQ)
   We should make talk schedules(Chofman)
   Record the meetings... so that no-one misses them
