* '''Tech Speakers 2019''' -- We’ve completed the selection process for the newest group of Mozilla Tech Speakers, which started back in Q4 before the holidays. There were 275 applications from which we accepted 51 people into the program (50 confirmed). The new cohort is 55% women and spans 23 countries. We’ll be onboarding the new speakers in eight groups over the next month or two. Look for more Tech Speakers out in the world near you, and turning up all over social media and the web.
* '''Web Assembly post-MVP''' -- Lin Clark and Till Schneidereit gave a talk about the future of WebAssembly, with a focus on out-of-browser use cases, at ForwardJS and at the inaugural meeting of the [https://www.meetup.com/wasmsf/events/257611153/ WebAssembly SF Meetup] -- filling SF Commons to capacity! (There were 135 pre-registered attendees, in fact!) It was great seeing that much community interest in WebAssembly and what’s coming next. Stay tuned for more info from Lin, Till and the team.
* '''Enabling Inclusive Development''' -- You’ve heard us talk about our XR Studio project, which provided mentoring, resources, and a collaboration space for women interested in machine learning and mixed reality. Miriam and our Strategic Foresight Team have built and released the [https://github.com/mozilla/inclusive-space-toolkit/blob/master/README.md Inclusive Development Space Toolkit v1], sharing learnings from XR Studio and paving the way for future cohorts to create similar studios that can include all our areas of exploration. The toolkit release was promoted at [https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/01/25/mozilla-fosters-the-next-generation-of-women-in-emerging-technologies/ Sundance], and you should take a look if you or someone near you is interested in starting up something similar.

Using our rules engine you can now create rules to take action when your house is too warm or cold, or there’s a leak in the basement, and use an image or streaming video to see what’s going on. Check out Ben Francis’ Hacks [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/01/cameras-sensors-whats-next-for-mozillas-things-gateway/ blog post] for all the details, and some insights into what the team will be working on next.
