• Mozilla Welcome Video: Amie Tyrrel will be sharing more details on onboarding shortly, but she could use some help with a "Welcome to Mozilla" video! It's just a matter of recording yourself saying “Welcome to Mozilla” in your local language. Post your submissions to Flickr with the hashtag #welcomemozillians by Tuesday, August 21st. We’ll aim to include your video in our montage of Global Mozillians – we can’t guarantee all submissions will be included, but we’ll try! We’ll be sharing this video along with Mozilla’s new onboarding tool in coming months. If you have questions please email amie at mozilla dot com.

• This week will be the last Grow Mozilla discussion before MozCamp in Warsaw, so this is a good opportunity to come by and ask any questions you have about hosting a session or how to get the most of attending.

• Mozilla Reps Event Manager is live and includes a calendar, an interactive map and an awesome event creation tool.

• The Mozillians Phonebook now offers an API to authorize Mozillians across your favorite sites/apps vouch api.
