Friends of Mozilla
- To all the contributors to the SUMO Knowledge Base, L10n, Social Support and Support Forum teams for their truly awesome, non-stop, efforts over A Very Busy Weekend. All over the world, the SUMO contributors put their own lives on hold to work as a team to support users under very challenging circumstances. If Mozilla should exist for a million years, their heroic efforts shall not be forgotten.
- The Add-ons Team would like to co-sign this thank you and also thank other members of the community who were directly involved in writing and reviewing patches or helped direct inbound traffic to relevant and up-to-date information. <3
- The Mozilla Tech Speakers team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the following Tech Speakers who spoke at various conferences and events last week: Anjana, Daniele, Diwanshi, Eva, Felipe, Michael, Srushtika, Tara, and Trishul. Thank you all for helping to spread the good word about Mozilla and the Open Web!
