As for SUMO, we have a few updates coming your way. Here they are!

Welcome, new contributors!

Most recent SUMO Community meeting

You can read the notes here and see the video on our YouTube channel and at AirMozilla.

The next SUMO Community meeting…

…is happening on WEDNESDAY the 18th of May – join us!
Reminder: if you want to add a discussion topic to the upcoming meeting agenda:
- Start a thread in the Community Forums, so that everyone in the community can see what will be discussed and voice their opinion here before Wednesday (this will make it easier to have an efficient meeting).
- Please do so as soon as you can before the meeting, so that people have time to read, think, and reply (and also add it to the agenda).
- If you can, please attend the meeting in person (or via IRC), so we can follow up on your discussion topic during the meeting with your feedback.

We are slowly reaching the end of the discussions and presentations about possible platform substitutions for Kitsune, as per this thread. Stay tuned for announcements next week! HUGE thanks to everyone who provided feedback and helped us review various options.
Reminder: want to know what’s going on with the Admins? Check this thread in the forum.
Ongoing reminder #1: if you think you can benefit from getting a second-hand device to help you with contributing to SUMO, you know where to find us.
Ongoing reminder #2: we are looking for more contributors to our blog. Do you write on the web about open source, communities, SUMO, Mozilla… and more? Do let us know!
