TelaSocial Dashboard Kiosk
Proposed Track (Technology & Product)
TelaSocial is a powered by Mozilla, an open-source software application that brings the open web in public and semi-public spaces using TV panels. The talk highlights how the social web can impact our community spaces with an experience that is different than the Mobile or the Desktop metaphor. In this space, TelaSocial uses Mozilla technology and web standards to help local communities to connect, collaborate, and create common benefit. The presentation covers challenges and opportunities found as the project matures with interactions based in real customers, partners, and collaborators.
