Firefox Current (3.6, 6.0)

  • There will be a Firefox 3.6.21. Main goal is to backport Firefox 7 security fixes, will ship at the same time as Firefox 7
  • 3.6 EOL? No news to share on that yet. Assume we are sticking with the status quo (creating updates for 3.6) until told differently

Mobile Firefox

Thunderbird

Drumbeat

(no voice update this week) What would you include in a "Webmaking 101" course?

  • The School of Webcraft is designing a beginner's "Webmaking 101" course
  • The heart of the course will be a series of projects and learning challenges
  • Looking for feedback from MDN and broader Mozilla community on these draft challenges: http://webmaking101.p2pu.org/challenges
    • a) are these challenges good?
    • b) what's missing? what else do you need to know to become an effective novice web developer?
  • Please post feedback as comments to this blog post

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per speaker. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation.
