Verbal Updates

Jason's Update

(Don't let Jason start talking until someone has agreed to take notes here)

  • Hawaii: Planned activity? Jason's going on a hike. Everyone is welcome to join. Already have a location. Still figuring out time.

    • Main topics: 2017 Planning, TechSpeaker visualizations from MikeE, etc.

Announcements / Requests for Help / Discussion Topics

  • [Jen] a story about `font-display` and Can I Use
    • font-display started going around on Twitter. Lets you control what to do if your fonts aren't loading quickly. FOIC / FOUC / etc.
    • Implemented in Fx43, but never actually on-by-default. PR'd against CanIUse to fix their data to show it as behind a flag.
    • Also requested listing initial-letter.
    • [linclark]: Also, new RDM in DevTools can throttle your connections so you can test this!
  • [jweathersby] Evangelists on working groups? other Mozillians' reactions to us on working groups - David Herman (yes!), some questioning of expertise. "Let's bring a web perspective"
    • [linclark]: Criteria for evaluating impact on any given working group - influence of groups vary widely. how to judge? e.g. HTML data
    • https://wiki.mozilla.org/Standards [dietrich]: let's meet w/W3C shepherd David Baron in HI
    • [potch] community groups as a lightweight path into culture and impact on working groups. Potch participates here: https://github.com/WICG/
