I have applied to become a member of the Canadian delegation to the C++ Standards Committee, and my application was successful. There is no fee associated with this membership. What this means for Mozilla is that we have the potential to have a greater voice in the decisions made by the Committee, as the head of the Canadian delegation determines Canada's vote on proposals being considered by the Committee by consulting with the members of the delegation. I will be attending the next C++ Standards Committee meeting, which is in February, and I plan to attend future ones if I am able to. I will keep an eye out for issues that might be of particular interest to the Mozilla community, and bring them to people's awareness (probably by posting here on dev-platform). If there are any issues/topics that you are interested in / would like me to keep an eye on, please let me know! (Several people did so already in this thread [1]). For a recap of what is slated to go into C++14 and follow-up Technical Specifications, see [2] and [3].
