* '''Mozilla Research Grants''' -- Our Mozilla Research Grants funding series just closed its 2019H1 call for proposals on May 31st. We received 83 submissions prior to that deadline, which continues to reflect the strong interest we’ve seen with our research grant collaborations over the last several grant series. The next step is for our proposal review team to consider all those submissions and choose 12 winners across our [ https://mozilla-research.forms.fm/mozilla-research-grants-2019h1/forms/6510 12 Research Questions] (in three categorical areas -- Growing the Web, New Interaction Modes, and Privacy & Security).
* '''Spreading the Good Word about AV1''' -- You’ve heard us talk more lately about AV1 and our video codec work in ET in part because we have a goal this year to facilitate adoption of our royalty-free video technology, but even more so because we’re now shipping AV1 in Firefox including the latest high-performance codec and seeing rapid adoption too.

* '''ET Lightning Talks at Whistler''' -- For those of you who’ll be attending our All Hands in Whistler ynext week we’ll be hosting our traditional ET Lighting Talks on Wednesday afternoon, given folks in ET a chance to talk briefly about what they and their teams are working on. Love to have you join us, and it’s right before the All Hands demos session so you can enjoy the talks and then go hands-on with some of our work. If you aren’t at our All Hands we’ll work out how to share those talks and demos afterwards, perhaps through this meeting.
