Suggested Tiles for Firefox update

Patrick joined the call to update Reps about suggested Tiles in Firefox.

This week is going to be announced that it’s landing in beta starting with US users.

Firefox will use locally use the history to suggest interesting tiles for the user and it’s going to be super easy to opt-out or hide tiles you are not interested in. Firefox is the one deciding which tiles to show, not the partners.

Reps can be involved with this projects in two ways:

  • Suggesting community tiles.

  • Helping to curate relevant local content from partners.

Patrick will work with the Reps team to open this opportunity and to improve localization around this announcement and the technical details.

We have opened a discourse topic to ask any questions you might have.

Whistler WorkWeek - Reimbursements

We are only one month to the workweek and there might be some questions about how to help volunteers that need reimbursements.

Reps will be reached out from Mozillians for reimbursement, so help them as better as possible to make the reimbursement smooth.

There will be an event created on reps portal to use on the budget form, otherwise add the mozillians page URL as event in the request form (or Reps profile URL).

Contact your mentor if you have doubts about reimbursing without an event, other questions reach out to @franc.
