Evangelism

L10n

• Final count: 54 localizations participated in FF 3.1 beta 2
• Thunderbird 3 beta 1 code freeze is on Tuesday 18th November at 23:59 Pacific time
• Localizers are also translating "about:rights" that will be included in Firefox 3.0.5
  • The past few weeks have been very high work-load for localizers. The localization community and the l10n-drivers team appreciates everyone's efforts to give advance notice of any localization needs so we can best coordinate our efforts and not overwhelm anyone. Planning a few weeks in advance really helps as we have seen with the about:rights work. Thanks to Beltzner, Harvey, Kev and Dolske for really setting the schedule on this.
• Special thanks to Pascalc who worked late last Wednesday to quickly process a request from the SUMO team last week to get a number of localized snippets into the Firefox start page for the upcoming Support Day.

• Marc announced availability of the video from the Mozilla Foundation brown-bag presentation in Mountain View on October 29.
