Georgian on the Mac?

The current build requires user to install a Font after installing Firefox. This is not a great user experience so we've been searching for alternatives. Another option is to bundle Fonts for the Mac as part of install procedure - this is not easy to implement technically and has legal issues also. We concluded this is a product then licensing then technical question. Starting spot is to ask Rob Strong ACTION: Axel

All-Hands agenda

We have an upcoming All Hands meeting in Mountain View in August. Given this is an opportunity when all (or most) the L10n-drivers are in one location, we'd like to propose some objectives to achieve.

  • User experience in general (and including AMO); getting and installing localized builds across different use cases - propose 1 dedicated hour to discuss towards improving this experience
  • Preparation/expectations for upcoming string freeze and next build stages, dedicated 1 hour
  • Extend invitation to PKim, Shaver and John and possibly Basil
  • Everyone should block Friday 9-noon for L10n related items for the week of the All Hands

New localizations

  • Rishi - PascalC hooked him up to Russian and Turkish teams
  • Documentation is almost completed, Gerv will likely be in a position to start triaging next week

QA

CTalbert is almost done Minotaur tool, should be ready by next week. This tool will provide useful information to localizers about branding specifications of their builds.

Other

  • Turkish ISP issues: Reed has changed access and hopefully it will work now to see if this solution addresses spam issue we were having with ISP.
  • Swedish: Web localizer for Swedish decided to stop working on Mozilla project.
  • Spain trip where Pascal will be talking about how to organize community and Mozilla organization
  • Mongolian localizer will start working on website to gather people who are interested in that localization (all volunteers are currently experiencing University exams so will be delayed 3 weeks)
