Joint Meeting Notes
- Attendees:
- X-channel fx l10n
- Messaging to community about x-channel l10n:
- We all used the same words to describe this, but with different interpretations of those words.
- Need to unify the storyline and messaging.
- Messaging needs to contain: Background info, all da winz, recommendations for community workflows (how do you localize every day, how do you localize once every 6 weeks, etc.), reference to documented decision, and timing.
- Pike (and others) to document decision in Bugzilla under "Continuous localization" meta decision bug.
- Two big things to communicate in 53: l20n and x-channel.
- Need to bring l10n-drivers thread to dev-l10n with brief starter message based on documented decision in bugzilla.
- Messaging to community about x-channel l10n:
- Reschedule PM/Tech meetings so that people can attend both (if they want)?
- Some of us would like to have the freedom to attend both.
- Need to exchange input between individuals within each group.
- Only way to really do this is rescheduling the calls.
- Alternatives:
- Better note taking and publishing.
- Going to continue brainstorming possible alternatives.
- All Hands team meetings spaces
- Report from Fx Desktop meeting talking l20n
