Seems like we will not make any extra announcement for B2G 5th birthday https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/lets-discuss-about-project-status-announcement-for-25th-july-b2gs-bday/9659/

• But how do we announce the birthday ? Only social networks ?

• Currently planning on using XPCShell and Mochitests for unit and integration tests
• Backbone marionette for UI

sizvix worked on the camera app: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/camera-app/9723/4

• many standards APIs missing for a complete camera app

Discussions about the contacts: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/help-getting-the-basic-functionality-for-smart-phone-ready/9712/7 Should we use a CardDAV service to provide it ? It might be useful for sharing the contacts, between apps and as an import/export feature

• Sounds like a great idea
