Hi folks,

Just wanna share here that Andrea Marchesini (Principal Software Engineer) from the Firefox team is going to join us in the community call that we’re going to have tomorrow (5 PM UTC) to share more about this contribution opportunity. If you don’t have time to join live, you can also submit questions ahead of time by filing out this form. Recording will also be available afterward. You can check more info about this call here.
