Firefox/Decade
Firefox's 10 Year Anniversary
- We are kicking things off with a 33.1 release, shipping on Monday, 11/10 @ 6AM Pacific Time!
Get Involved!!
Our project sponsors are Chris Beard & Johnathan Nightingale. Eric Petitt is leading the charge in Marketing. Start by joining #decade and say "hello". We also have a daily standup in the Capella conference room -- https://air.mozilla.org/firefox-renewal-daily-stand-up/ (because we talk about confidential, partner-related things, these meetings are open to staff and volunteers who are members of the NDA group on mozillians.org). Request access for: https://fxdecade.etherpad.mozilla.org/Daily.
See a full list of contacts and what they contribute, here.
