  • Tantek statements
  • Who makes the actual decision?
  • Twitter comments like this: https://twitter.com/#!/potch/status/197858688772472837
  • Basically: if we are supposed to handle developer relations but aren't kept in the loop, this will not work
  • CH: let's remember this is not yet a mainstream issue in the dev community
  • Encouraging that Lawrence is involved and it is being treated as an investigation (Note that Jean-Yves from the MDN team has been involved.)
  • Stormy: has escalated to press, it is still off their radar
  • Individual opinions from 'spokespeople vs Mozilla official position
  • So much arguing!!!

South America re-cap / post mortem

  • what worked? what didn't?
  • need more time between cities - a city every other day is too much
  • can't rely on outreach from community in cities
    • more organized marketing
    • things like conflicting events and not getting word out to all communities
  • in Santiago & Montevideo - lightning talks were really good
  • need to set context - what is Mozilla? etc. Introductory talk
  • language issues, presentations that were in Spanish was really good, use that as a criteria in the future
  • Some candidates interested in Speaker Reps (some of the feedback was they didn't want to travel for training)
