  • (1)agenda of meeting is to get handle on what want to do for next 2 years, set context for what's happened and what are challenges -- anyone who will be valuable to helping us produce that outcome; what role does firefox play in keeping web open, detailed breakout session for groups like L10n what we need to do; (2)for example might want to do better targeting of which localization we want to help out; (3) number of teams duplicating efforts like Spanish, Portugease and determine better way to coordinate their work is another good overall objective (that's why Pascal proposed the folks he did as an example); (4)raising awareness of localization issues on general product development cycle; (5) Firefox 3 post mortem session from localizers; (6) how do we keep up with expanding services and ensure we have localization team coverage, what's the tool box needed (pascal doing some work on this in europe); (7) figure out better methods for growing testing teams in Tier 2 and 3
