WebFWD Summit II

The Mozilla WebFWD team welcomed our startups into town for the 2nd Summit: a time of hands-on hacking, learning and bonding. The goal: move the dial so our teams can change the world. Now!

  1. We started with a day of hands-on work sessions to jump start marketing, UX, tech development and of course, business models!
  2. great having you here! RT @ffdixon: At Mozilla with #WebFWD teams. Enjoying sharing experiences building communities. cc @markoscalderon
  3. UX sessions from Jennifer Boriss and Brian Dils were especially poignant: our teams' websites went under the "digital knife" - on the overhead, they provided intense questioning and probing on function and purpose. Really good stuff.
  4. OH at #WebFWD Summit UX session: "Every pixel fought for its life" (quote from WordPress founder Matt Mullenwag on UI functional simplicity)
  5. The next day we gathered developers, marketers & more both locally and around the world via IRC and Air Mozilla to contribute to our portfolio's projects.
