• New hire: Andy Chilton
• New intern: Hannah Quay-de la Vallee
• Gene: Persona is running entirely in AWS except for the master database
• How will the transition to Jay affect Persona?
  • No expected material changes, but some hiccups
  • Supportive of Persona
  • Highlight what we want other people to know
• Dan observes it's hard to get a Firefox OS phone
  • Maybe possible via ServiceNow (request sim card as well)
  • Karl suggests now is the time to ask
  • Ben says report back on any hiccups so we can improve the process
• UP not fully public yet, but we should be more public in the future
  • product management will eventually figure out a strategy for more public dev for UP
• Ryan: "What does the word 'Beta' mean in Persona?"
