Weekly MDN “Mercredi doc” meetup in Paris
Jeremie Patonnier is organizing a weekly meetup to improve the French and English areas of MDN. It is held 7 to 9 pm, Paris time, on Wednesdays. You can join in face-to-face at the Mozilla Paris office, or participate remotely, in the #mozfr IRC channel. The meetings are conducted in French. The goals are:
- Increase the volume and quality of the documentation on MDN.
- Encourage newcomers to get involved by showing how easy it is to contribute to MDN.
- Have fun with other Mozillians
Be sure to contact Jeremie (@JeremiePat on twitter) if you plan to show up in person, as space in the Mozilla office is limited. The next meeting will be January 4th.
