Upcoming Events

Tuesday, 13 February

• WebExtensions APIs triage
  • 18:30 UTC /10:30am PST | ACE Vidyo Room
• [Monthly Speaker Series] Finding Digital Equilibrium with Manoush Zomorodi
  • Tuesday, February 13, 10am PT / 5pm UT
  • Location: Mozilla SF + Air Mozilla + YouTube
  • Topic:

Manoush Zomorodi, a popular podcaster, consulted with neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists about the possibilities of “mind wandering” — what our brains do when we're doing nothing at all (vs. using our gadgets), and the link between boredom and creativity. She'll share her results with us tomorrow.

The tl;dr is that technology isn’t going anywhere and, importantly, Manoush will share about how we can align our gadget use with what we hold dear and true to find equilibrium in our digital ecosystem. We’ll also have copies of Bored and Brilliant for those at the live event in San Francisco, and Manoush will stay on to sign them after her talk.

• • Q&A during the event on both Slack #speaker-series + IRC #AirMozilla
  • Hashtag: #MozillaSpeakers and Manoush is @manoushz
  • Host: Maria Popova

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 "widescreen" format, please indicate in the "Sharing" column below.
