All-hands Status Meeting Agenda

Friends of Mozilla
- Thanks to Martin Giger for writing up a JPM changelog for the latest update! JPM releases contain crucial bug fixes that matter to developers, and this is the first time someone has documented them.

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 "widescreen" format, please indicate in the "Sharing" column below.
