Roundtable

• Payments for Firefox OS. Oh payments how we love thee.
• The blog is looking awesome, some people should right some blog posts on it.

lorchard

• Brussels - I've never been to continental Europe, and I really like Belgian beer.

Brussels. Best beer in the world. Are there other reasons?

robhudson

• Lots of work on separating AMO and MKT elasticsearch indexes.

• Made a jsfiddle thing to help calculate feature profiles that we pass as a query string to the API: http://jsfiddle.net/robhudson/9PArz/

Brussels ~ Looks like a beautiful place and I have never been there. Also, looks like I will be in good company ;)

sole

(following mkelly's suggestion about what to put in here)

• been working on revamping a mortar template: https://github.com/sole/mortar-list-detail/tree/simplify
• we're getting closer to releasing a fancy real time image processing app as a reference app, code here: https://github.com/sole/rtcamera and try it out here: http://sole.github.io/rtcamera (you need a camera/webcam, WebGL and WebRTC... which means Nightly on mobile, but it's awesome to run this on a MOBILE DEVICE!!)
• I've been asking many questions to many people because I'm still quite new here, and will probably continue doing so for a while, so bear with me...

Social activities:

• met Yahuda Katz AND Tim Berners-Lee - BEAT THAT, everyone else
• also been to one of these monthly ladieswhocode meetings where I try to convince people to stop using ASP and move to JS
• and went picnic-ing to Hampstead Heath where we had scones and played badminton. It can't get more English than that.

There's this upcoming DemoJS demoscene party in Paris: http://demojs.org They are accepting remote submissions so if you're into making something fancy feel free to enter one of their compos! I looked into going there but the travel+hotel was indecently expensive.

Finally: I'd prefer Santa Clara as I haven't been there and it sounds warmer than Toronto or Brussels. But I've already been to Brussels so I'd prefer travelling somewhere new (to me) like Toronto! What I like about Brussels is that one can go there by train, and cross the Chunnel, which always seemed like very awesome to me.

wenzel

• Lots of work on web components, templates, and such for Firefox Apps. Coming along nicely!

I'd love to go to Brussels because: - It's a great city with a rich history for Mozilla (FOSDEM, hello!) - aaand I can add a few days of PTO afterwards and take a quick train ride to visit my family, which would be awesome.

willkg

• support.mozilla.org: fixed some minor things
• elasticutils: overhauled docs, updated changelog and added a bunch of tests -- probably ready for a 0.7 release
• tower: updated docs

Awaiting new roommate. He should be here in the next few days.
