One more judge. Chris is doing a lot of recruiting, so we may even see a couple of more after this.

I just confirmed with Jay that we do not need to group judges by month or differentiate them in any other way. Instead, we should list all of them in the "Judges" tab, ideally in alphabetical order. The idea, Jay explained, is to build a panel of experts that we will invite to vote every month if they are interested.

Just noticed this bug, and wasn't aware that there was going to be an 0.9.9.1 release.

Do we have a push bug filed for 0.9.9.1 already? If not, we need one ASAP because we really need to file those at least 7 days in advance.

Is there anything else aimed at this release?

Sorry for the confusion, Les. Jay mentioned this after our meeting. In the future, I will be sure to email dev-mdn when I learn about these point rel eases.

This is the only thing Jay mentioned for 0.9.9.1. I do not believe we already have a push bug. If you link me to an old push bug I can be sure to file a new one using the same template.

I got in touch with Jeff about Twitter and am still waiting to hear back about our additional judge.

For Chris, I think it is safe to use "Co-founder, GitHub" as the job title.

Scratch that note about Chris. I'll get in touch with him just to be sure. If I don't hear back from him today I think it would be fine to leave it blank for now.
