Innovating with Mozilla Labs: The Weave Story |
||
| Abstract | Laboratories are where science and creativity meet to develop, research, and explore new ideas. Mozilla Labs embraces this great tradition - a virtual lab where people come together to create, experiment, and play with new Web innovations and technologies. We're all about encouraging the community to come forward with their ideas and then incubating those ideas into real products. In this talk, we'll take Weave as a case study: How it made the transition from an idea to product, and most importantly: how you can contribute to it. Mozilla Labs is about inspiring and harnessing the intelligence, wisdom, and energy of the community: let's imagine the future of the Web, and then let's build it together! Whether you want to contribute to an existing Labs project, or have a great idea you want to work on, or even if you're just interested in the future of the web - you'll want to attend this talk. |
