Seattle based non-dogmatic Artist / Programmer type human. Web developer with Mozilla Corporation. Fan of PKO. Spell check is for the week.
I attended the Federated Social Web Summit yesterday. I saw some old friends and met lots of new ones.
Here is a quick brain dump of what I caught:
These people
first did a lightening talk about these projects
We then broke out into sessions. Most of my day was dominated by low level discussions of the protocols and [...]
Many people who are members of the Mozilla community, don’t give themselves permission to affiliate or consider themselves Mozillians. There was a lot of good conversations around Membership at the Mozilla Summit.
If you do any of the following… you should consider yourself a member of the Mozilla Community:

I got some great feedback during Thursday’s Science Fair. Apologies in advance if I missed mentioning your name and feedback, some of my notes were a little illegible. Please leave a comment to capture your thoughts.

This is a call for you to create some interesting themes using sudoSocial.
Many users have started customizing their CSS. Two people I wanted to highlight are Turmel Antoine and Charlie November, who have created some pretty cool themage.
To make customizing your HomeStream easier, there is a new release of

I’m back from my first time trip to Austin Tx and SXSW Interactive.
My friend Jeremy Britton from Zurb Interactive inspired me to write up a post on the week. He also told me my cold is SXSW Sars.

A highlight for me was the Activity Streams meetup. It filled a huge gap in my [...]
Continuing a project I worked on during Mozilla Service Week, I’ve been working on my curriculum for a workshop I will be teaching in Nov for the first time. The class is called Where the Wild Things Could Be… and will be through the 826 Seattle writing workshop. It will have about 8 students that [...]
Frédéric Wenzel has a great series of L10n blog posts going and there has been a lot of discussion of L20n work at Mozilla. I ping’d Fred to check in and share an idea with him…
What if you could directly edit the copy on the staging server of a website and have it [...]
Nothing earth-shattering here… but I wanted to capture some ideas that the webdev team has discussed in terms of how we share our code between projects and with the community at large.
