We’re going to have a few Mozilla people and events at FISL this year. If you’re a Mozilla contributor or enthusiast, let us know you’re going to be there by adding yourself to the list!
Here’s a rundown of the agenda:
Mitchell always has something interesting to say. From the global impact and reach of our little project to the importance of creating an area for people to work together openly to mixing non-profit goals with good business sense. Her talk is on Saturday April 19th at 3:00pm. Be there!
He’s going to be talking about XUL which means a good combination of how to extend Firefox and possibly also writing your own XUL application. For people who are local in Brazil this is likely to be a great technical talk. There’s a huge amount of power locked up in our platform and it’s great to see another way for people to express it. He’s speaking at 2pm on Friday, April 18th.
This should be an interesting panel. Chris and I have been with the project for a long time and will talk about what’s going on in the Mozilla project today, how we can bring Mozilla and Firefox to Brazil in a way that’s appropriate for the local culture and Marcio will talk about what’s he’s been learning about our project in Brazil from localization to customization. Lots of Q&A, lots of discussion. If you really want to have the chance to ask your own questions and learn about our project, this is the place to do it.
Manned by the totally awesome Clauber Stipkovic Halic and Mário Rinaldi, they will be available to answer questions and will also be handing out neat Mozilla and Firefox merchandise.
Come hang out with cool Mozilla people! [ Note: I don't know the date for this yet. ] We’ll be having short sessions and we can do some cool stuff together. Here’s some of the things that we’re thinking of doing:
- Mobile: I will talk about Mobile and how we’re going to get Firefox on your next phone.
- Automated code rewrite and analysis tools: Taras Glek will talk about our new awesome tools that we’re using to analyze and change our codebase for Mozilla 2. I will make a separate post about this. It’s that awesome.
- Testing & QA: Chris knows this community really well and will talk about how to get involved in our testing efforts.
- Offline & New features in Firefox: Marcio will spend time talking about our new features and how to take advantage of them.
- Localization: Fernando Silveira will talk about how to get involved in our localization efforts and how to use our tools.
But that’s just a short list. We hope that people will suggest new things and join us. There’s an open wiki page for the workshop – edit away with suggestions!
