Building and shipping software at Facebook

Tuesday, October 20 - noon PT / 3pm ET / 7pm UTC Mozilla Mountain View + [1]

Blurb: Facebook has over 1 billion monthly active web users and pushes new versions of its website twice a day. At the same time, Facebook also has over 1 billion monthly mobile users and pushes new versions of its 6+ mobile apps every 1-2 weeks. Shipping at this speed and scale is driven by a very small Release Engineering team with a large supporting cast. Learn about the cutting-edge tools, distributed systems, processes, and culture Facebook relies on to ship effectively.

Speaker: Former Firefox Release Manager Christian Legnitto, who has spent the last four years shipping software at Facebook.

October Brantina: Data As Empathy

Thursday, October 22 - 9am PT / noon ET / 4pm UTC Mozilla Mountain View + Air Mozilla

To build products people love, you must understand those people. User research and user-centered design help get us there, but once we have a sense of how our audiences think and behave, how can we go beyond the anecdotal to extrapolate to the macro? What ways can we better understand the needs of millions of users who think, act and operate differently than us?

Our October speaker Frances Haugen will share from her product management and software engineering experiences with products used by millions of Google and Yelp customers. She'll help us understand how data - done 'right' - connects us to millions of users we don't know personally. And she'll outline what doing data right means for product development, and how product owners can build things their users love.

Speaker: As both a Senior Product Manager, Software Engineer and Data Scientist for companies including Yelp and Google, Frances has worked at the intersection of data, design and humans throughout her career. An Electrical and Computer Engineering undergrad, Frances says she sees the world as comprised of hi and low cast filters.

Host: Matt Grimes, User Advocacy

Questions: Submit questions for Frances during the event on IRC #AirMozilla.

Fall Campaign Update

Speaker Location: San Francisco

Sara Haghdoosti + Jochai Ben-Avie

Germany Campaign This month we launched our first non-English advocacy campaign! This is a huge milestone that only happened because of some great collaboration between MoCo and MoFo. The campaign raised concerns about a data retention bill in Germany and we mobilized over 13,000 people to take action! This marks another significant way Mozilla is working to give users control of their online lives.
