Blog more about localizers' effort over the past weeks. Axel and Mic are going to do that
Persian...on Mic's to-do, get to a launch

Downloads per locale
If people ask us, we can give download numbers for what we know... what kind of impact will you get if you give this information?
We might be able to show trends, Geo-IP data, total downloads...good point to start the conversation to inspire community building

3.1 still a little blurry in Axel's head. Timing and what we need will come up or will we have to work around? Still seems pretty unclear.
3.0.1 going to be a bunch of updates for bug fixes that we didn't fix in 3.0...
- approval flag is there, but we need Beltzner to start approving stuff
- numerous locales in incubator have asked if they can go in 3.0.1
  - Surprising since they haven't done much to update from FF2 to FF3
  - Branch will remain in its state
  - Could be difficult, given work that needs to be done

Number of sessions proposed
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Summit2008/Sessions/Proposals#L10n_Related
Have sessions been moved from proposal stage to a schedule?
- Chofmann: not yet. He spoke with Asa and it's not in place yet.
We'll meet sometime this week to coordinate
Lots of crossover among various sessions, so let's use this week to work on presentations and get together
Seth will ask Asa how schedule is managed
- Do we want to do a block of time or have talks smattered over a few days
- Example: FF3 post mortem, interesting to l10n community, but should also be close to other post mortems
- Schedule it so localizers can participate in other interesting things as well.
- But we want main coders to participate in l10n stuff, like post mortem...
- Might make sense to spread out the presentations
Chofmann: we need a detailed outline of what topics need to be covered in each session
- How widespread will the appeal be? What is the audience?
- Timing will then fall in line

General call for Thursday, June 19 about features and what will go on in the demo
