Shipping Celebration

What did we ship this month? Alternatively, what didn't we ship to spare the world the horror?

• (mythmon) SHIELD system add-on landed in Nightly - https://github.com/mozilla/normandy-addon
• (ErikRose) DXR now properly indexes chained and nested Python method calls. Gory details! Also, the add-ons tree is now indexed. It is very big and very terrible.
• (ErikRose) Fathom Hawaii talk is up.

Open-Source Citizenship

Any updates with our libraries or with libraries we use? Anyone looking for help with a library they maintain?

• (groovecoder) Privacy Badger is now a Web Extension! They had a few bumps and I was able to help them out. It's easy to help them with their Firefox issues!
• (ErikRose) more-itertools has a new maintainer, one Bo Bayles. As a result, 3 new releases are out, with 17 new routines!

New Hires / Interns / Volunteers / Contributors

Anyone new that we want to induct into the secret order? Paid, unpaid, contract, doesn't matter!
