- QUESTIONS:
- Will the phase 2 be open for people that have already finished phase 1?
- Opportunity to participate as a Labs facilitator working with the new Tech Speakers
- A tentative schedule would be nice, if possible:
- Yes, it would! Coming quicklyā¦ Application opens today, closes July 4, midnight PDT, first masterclass is July 18. There will be 5 masterclasses, mostly on alternating weeks, they will be scheduled & recorded in PDT. We are locking down the schedule now. Summer Pilot will end week of Sept 5. Labs sessions will be scheduled in alternative weeks, scheduling and invites will be responsibility of the Labs facilitators. In some cases we will use alternatives to Vidyo, like Hangouts, or maybe even physical spaces.
- Will TechSpeakers be focused on technical topic presentations?
- Yes, primarily. This is a Developer Relations initiative to extend our influence and our message to technical communities worldwide. But if you are already talking to web designers and other web builders or technical advocates, you are also eligible to apply. If the audience you work with now is children, web beginners, consumers who are not technical, this is probably not the program for you.
- Could the program material be available to others Mozillians, who will not be in program?
- Yes, all the Masterclasses will be available publicly over Airmo, probably a week or two after they are first broadcast for the Pilot team. The methodology for doing Speaking practice with constructive feedback as a small group either in person or online is available for anyone to use and organize in your school, community, hackerspace, or office. Thereās some info here: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/next-steps-mozilla-tech-speakers-developer-events/6837 and on the wiki.
- Any similarities to larger community speaking projects, like Toastmasters?
- Well, yes and no. Our focus is on speaking, teaching, facilitating for developer, designer, web builder audiences. Toastmasters is a great resource for anyone who wants to do more public speaking - we are more focused on getting a message out that solves a problem for a technical person, and encourages them to work with Firefox, Mozilla, & the Open Web. In Toastmasters, there is more emphasis on the craft of public speaking (reducing āumsā in your presentation)
- Only Mozilla technologies, right?
- Firefox, Mozilla, & the Open Web (w/a technical focus). So, for instance speaking about whatās new in JavaScript, CSS, Rust are all great topics, not exclusively Mozilla. ) Also, āHow to get started in Open Source by logging bugs to bugzillaā might be a powerful topic to present in your community. There is no āone size fits allā
-
meetup.com is a very interesting platform (not a question, just a shout-out!) Yes!
- We are happy to support people who are designing meetups on technical topics of interest to Mozilla, Firefox and the Web, or just want to organize a meetup about Tech Speaking (ex: http://www.meetup.com/Tech-Speakers-London/)
TOPIC 3 - About Mozilla Open Design - Tim Murray and Janis Greenspan
- Weāre updating our brand identity using Mozilla open source principles, and weād really like your thoughts. Our existing brand assets (wordmark, a few muted colors) arenāt adequate for communicating what Mozilla is in todayās world.
- Weāre currently in the Creative Strategy phase, and we welcome your ideas for directions Mozilla might explore to present itself anew to the world. We have 7 directions that weāre working through-- please visit our blog or medium channel and share your thoughts.
