Round Table

rkent

• Been in discussion with Aaron Mandel
  • Take over the TB start page
  • Have everybody at the Summit give a 3-4 sentence description of what they do on Thunderbird that we can use on the start page.
  • This would be quite a change - we'd be raising the profile of individual contributors to the project.
  • Aaron will be there Thursday and Friday. Will do some video of the whole group / group shots, and then do some individual shots.
  • The script is difficult. Any help with words would be wonderful. Please help. Time is short.

mconley

• Summit mailing list is https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/thunderbird-summit
• Information about getting from the airport to the hotel still forthcoming. Hopefully next day or so.
• Currently arranging things like the dinners, etc.
  • Looks like Wednesday evening, we're headed to Via Mercanti (http://www.pizzeriaviamercanti.ca )
  • Looks like Thursday evening, we're likely heading to Hush (http://hushrestaurants.ca/ ). They're preparing a menu for us with a vegetarian option. Le Select fell through.

clokep

• Nothing new, the same pending from two weeks ago:
