Standing Agenda Items

Weekly Team Update from Jason

  • Guest Speaker: Josh Carpenter on VR
    • Update on VR markup: make it way, way easier for people to create things.
    • Three.js is great, but it puts VR out of the reach of novice creators on the web.
    • We've also learned quite a bit about what tooling we need. Tool should be great for both novices and advanced users
    • Currently in closed beta; lots of caveats, heavy architectural churn in the core. Want access to the mozvr/vr-components repo? ping Josh.
    • Goal for next month: "Open this codepen, make a VR scene."
  • Belén to be intro'd by Sole at today's Project Meeting
  • Ongoing soft campaign for developer edition.
    • We need to create two posts and several videos.
    • Jeff + Callahad to do an intro post for Nov. 3rd. What's new, VR, creative tools, etc. Getting a video out of this would be awesome.
    • Also cover: Memory Tools in DevTools with video.
    • Honza on deck to post followup about Firebug 3.0 around November 5th. We need to create a video tour of its features.
  • Q3 goal review + Q4 setting will happen next week. Ping me if you need to reschedule 1:1
