Greetings, SUMO Nation!

We have been away for a while (and for good reasons), but we are back – we missed you all! Have you been doing OK? Has winter caught up with you? Any news you’d like to share with us? We have some want to share with you, so take a while and get reading!

If you just joined us, don’t hesitate – come over and say “hi” in the forums!

LATEST ONE: 14th of December – you can read the notes here (and see the video at AirMozilla).



14th of December – you can read the notes here (and see the video at AirMozilla). NEXT ONE: happening on the 21st of December!

Reminder – i f you want to add a discussion topic to the upcoming meeting agenda: Start a thread in the Community Forums, so that everyone in the community can see what will be discussed and voice their opinion here before Wednesday (this will make it easier to have an efficient meeting). Please do so as soon as you can before the meeting, so that people have time to read, think, and reply (and also add it to the agenda). If you can, please attend the meeting in person (or via IRC), so we can follow up on your discussion topic during the meeting with your feedback.

Over 370 edits in the KB in all locales since the last blog post – thank you so much, Editors & Reviewers!

The outstanding bugs for L10n on Kitsune have been reviewed and closed out/updated for future investigation within Lithium.

We also had a preview of the L10n flow in Lithium during the Work Week. You can find more details in this document. This (and upcoming reviews) will result in more Bugzilla issues filed for the new platform.

for iOS Still no news about iOS 6.0, but our resident shamans report that before the end of the calendar year we should know more.



…and that’s it for this week! We’re happy to be (mostly) back and in touch with you all again. Oh, one more thing you can help us with – do you know any interesting non-Mozilla online technological newsletters or bulletins that you can recommend? Let us know in the comments! And just so you don’t feel empty-handed when finishing reading all this – get inspired: have you heard of Eyebeam?
