Basque

Improve translation quality with new Transvision tools.
Focuse on terminology. Ideally I'd like to focus on

aligning terminology across Firefox desktop and mobile and experimenting to provide a solution for our team which includes terminology and TM from multiple sources, similar to what the Catalan team does. This is not limited to the scope of Mozilla but the benefits are for the entire language community.

Bosnian

Create or update style guide.
Improve translation quality with new Transvision tools.
Our goal is to translate all untranslated strings in Firefox and sign off, start localizing at least one more project that we didn't work on before, and resolve all bugs related to Bosnian language.
Session: Maybe they could cover how to attract new localizers and why is it cool to contribute to Mozilla through localization as most people see it as "just a plain and boring translation work".
I don't think we'll be able to recruit any new localizer for our locale in Paris, but we are open to this idea and are willing to contribute and help in any way we can.
