Action Items

• Logistics decisions:
  • Future meetings will be announced in dev.planning
  • Backchannel will be #mozillians
  • We'll use vidyo and sort out guest access for people without LDAP accounts
  • We'll meet every week for now to get things going quickly and then scale back to every other week later

• David will see what he can do about getting Josh access to the Code dashboards that are currently LDAP-only (long term goal is to have them be public)

• Josh to add the following ideas to the Action Plan draft and everyone else to add to and edit the draft before next week's meeting:
  • Talk to teams about creating more landing pages - use GFX and Accessibility as good models
  • Remind teams to keep mentored bug opportunities in mind, and consider if they would make a good high-level Bugs Ahoy category
  • Suggest new contributors join the phonebook (suggest relevant tags)
  • Include successful new contributors in about:credits - this does not happen unless you make the effort! Email credits@mozilla.org with a link to the bug and the contributor's name, email, and a short description of what they've done.
  • Create some way of tracking when contributors fall off the radar
