Sethb writes, "FotT has to go to Pascal Chevrel who has been managing all the complexities of long, short, and other numeric scales in the localization of 1 billion download campaigns. Just check this bug to get a sense of the fun: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507650 " | |||
Juan writes, "3.0.13 and 3.5.2 were emergency releases and we needed all the help we could get. Tim, Tony and Clint proposed we contact some of the more active community members to see if they could help with the usual QA cycle. The following people helped quite a bit and I would like to nominate them: Gabriela Montagu, Tyler Downer, Tanner Young, and Kevin Brosnan. I addition, a special thanks to Anthony Hughes, our QA intern, who really helped out us on Saturday, and did most of the QA work that day, when we were very short on people. " | |||
Mary writes, "I'd like to nominate Otto de Voogd as friend of the tree. He has been an awesome member of the Spread Firefox community since 2005 and runs one of the key SFx projects -- Community @ SFx. His Firefox download counters were an instrumental part of the 1 billion celebration." | |||
And from last week, Melissa nominated nominating: | |||
vineel reddy, moh haghighat, ken saunders, and kevin gerich. They all have recently helped out with mozilla pr efforts by speaking with reporters for stories with BusinessWeek and The New York Times" | |||

Read more [[Mozilla_2/Memory/OOM_API|here]]. Hopefully, this will result in a significant reduction in code size (some say 10%), reduce the need to do OOM checking manually, and can be a security improvement (unhandled malloc() failures can be exploitable, etc) | ||
