===Community-driven Web Compatibility===

The open web needs help from all kinds of people: browser vendors, browser users, coders, translators, bloggers, artists, tool makers, technology enthusiasts and much, much more—from all regions of the world. The Mozilla community already claimed victory over the proprietary, closed web landscape during the first browser wars. Join us to make a difference again by enabling a mobile Web accessible to all users regardless of their choice of browsers or devices. Join us in this Open Session to learn how to get involved as a Web Compatibility Ambassador and how each one of us can make a difference on the Web, no matter our level of technical expertise, experience within the Mozilla community, or even access to physical Firefox OS or Android devices. There is plenty of work to be done; let's do it together.

Mozilla Science Lab is a new initiative of the Foundation, designed to explore how the open web can change the way science is done. This involves building communities of practice in open science, digital skills training for researchers, and technical development rooted in interoperability. In this session, we'll tell you what we've got cooking. Join us to hear more and share your thoughts.

I would like to run a session to solicit feedback from the Mozilla community on Persona, both as users of Persona but hopefully also as web developers implementing it on their sites. We want to make sure that our project improves the state of login at Mozilla and that we take into accounts any concerns that Mozillians might have.

===Thesis: what could we do to keep alive Open Source software projects?===
Time: 3:00-4:15 (Toronto)
Location:
:Brussels:  N/A
:Toronto:  Conference C
:Santa Clara:  N/A
I am currently writing my engineering thesis. My project is about how we can improve the way we develop open source projects to increase the number of contributors, to be ready to have a community and don't let the project die. My goal is to find ideas to see how we can do that and people that could support my thesis with feedback, possible solutions and offer their open source projects to be a test case for the possible solution.
The base idea is to create a score system which reflects the mature of the open source project. As an example, the less punctuation will represent a project that just shares its code and the highest, a project which has an organized community, shares the code, its community take decisions, etc. With this punctuation system, people would be able to choose easily to which project contribute, which project should they use or give money, etc.

===The Open Web vs DRM.===
Time: 3:00-4:15 (Toronto)
Location:
:Brussels:  N/A
:Toronto:  Windsor East
:Santa Clara:  N/A
Representing Mozilla I participated on a panel about the DRM in the web. It was about a proposal made to w3c implement the EME on the web, it's a form of DRM that would be strongly deny the Openess of the Open Web. We can fight this sharing solutions on viabilizating business in the web and related media without removing it's Open parts and foundations. The standards should be free not only to make available business solutions but prevent interoperability, privacy and democracy issues. Let's share our thoughts and concepts!

===Power Polygon===
Time: 3:00-4:15 (Toronto)
Location:
:Brussels:  N/A
:Toronto:  Windsor East
:Santa Clara:  N/A
Power Polygon is a tool/platform built to create and show presentations on the web. It is NOT related to power point, neither tries to import slides from it. It was built using only web technologies and is meant to be something else than just a ""slide player"". All the tools and features added to it were built thanks to the feedback from speakers and the help of communities. Power Polygon uses lots and lots of new(sometimes, experimental) technologies for speakers to use the best of their browsers to show their presentations.
