Action Items/Takeaways

Notes and Action Items:

  • Matt: Reminder for all of QA to Sign up for the nightly tester list
  • Meetups
  • Berlin event - end of September - good event to target

*Videos:

    • What is the difference between the video Matt proposed and what Henrik is doing for MozMill?
      • Introduction of the teams - team leads say who they are
      • Any instructional types of videos that you want to put - outside community members would benefit from
      • Example could be Henrik's talk from the Summit or "What is Brasstacks?"
      • We should take advantage of the fact we are together for work week
      • Rainer can show people how to put a good screencast together
      • All hands in December would be a good time to do new videos
