All-hands Status Meeting Agenda

Items in this section will be shared during the live all-hand status meeting.

Friends of Mozilla

Najlepša hvala to Matjaž Horvat for contributing the Slovenian localization of the Firefox Activations Directory.

Kristján Oddsson for contributions to http://careers.mozilla.org/

Thanks to Kory Salsbury for flashing the Firefox OS phones for the Corozal Web Training Camp.

Richard Milewski for being in Portland last week and helping record the Air Mozilla videos for the Ascend Project final presentations. He set up a channel so they are easy to find, did a demo for the Ascenders on how they can edit/alter the existing video as well as submit new content, and he also came through when all the things broke down on Friday to still make sure our second set of presentations got recorded. THANK YOU!

Project Status Updates (voice updates)

Firefox

Speaker Location:

Firefox OS

Speaker Location: MTV - Asa Dotzler

• Firefox OS In The News:
  • Zen Mobile's Firefox OS phone, which I mentioned last Monday as becoming available in India sometime in October for Rs. 1,999 (~$32) launched last Thursday and saw 15,000 orders in the first 24 hours.
• Flame Updates:
  • Many of us have been experiencing significant regressions with the latest Flame base image (v180) and so we've got a new one on the way. We'll announce the availability of the new base image in dev.b2g and dev.gaia *and* on the new low-volume, Flame News list.
  • Flames have been in critically short supply but I've got an order coming in real soon now. If a reference phone is something you need to do your job and you don't have one yet, please email me and let me know.
  • Flame retail sales will wrap up in about 5 weeks. If you're planning on purchasing a Flame, you'll want to move on that soon.
• Firefox OS Development:
  • Over the previous week, 91 Firefox OS contributors landed approximately 200 patches.
  • Firefox OS saw patches from two first-time contributors this week.
    • Mitchell Van Der Hoeff had his fix for Gaia Cost control accessibility Bug 1069599 - Usage: Settings screen: sub-headers should be level 2.
    • And the second new contributor patch comes to us from the star of the recent Taiwan New Hire video hit sensation, Sean Lee. Sean landed a fix for Gaia Contacts bug Bug 1078978 - When the user searches for a contact that is already selected for exporting, the checkbox next to the contact name should be checked.
