Highlights (New Section)

What might be big that we need to be aware of? Learn anything interesting?

  • [callahad]: Fedora is unhappy with the add-on signing policy; we're considering an exception for Linux distros.
    • Current proposal: Add-ons installed by the distro's package manager in a protected location are exempt from Mozilla signing.
  • [callahad]: The Mozilla Gear Store is shutting down at the end of the month. Everything 30% off, staff get an extra 20% off.
    • If shipping is too crazy, I'd be happy to haul stuff to MozLondon for people.
  • [callahad]: Service Worker caveat: there's currently no way to clear cached data: https://bugzil.la/1253031
  • [sole] I hear there's plans for displaying and editing the 'storage' area in DevTools, but so far it's a) disabled and b) not actively worked on IIRC
  • [ladybenko]: if anybody needs support from Rainer to edit videos, give me a shout
  • [ladybenko]: since we are sponsoring WordCamp, we have a few tickets to give away (to diversity groups)
  • [sole]: Service Workers support for debugging in Firefox DevTools already in Nightly, feels very nice and stable. Some bugs too, but usable and 'promoteable' already. A screencast and a post coming for this week's Dev Edition. People seem interested too https://twitter.com/supersole/status/705776690941857793
  • [sole] MediaRecorder 'relaunch' announcement hopefully for next week, I'll try to finish the post for next week this week as I'll be in Toronto with DevTools. Started promoting some of the demos in twitter and people seem to like the 'cool stuff': https://twitter.com/supersole/status/706815670089093120 (RTs are appreciated :P)
