* '''You’re Watching Via Hubs, Right?''' -- Hubs Commons is now live for Monday Project call viewing. Over the past several months we’ve been casually watching the Mozilla project calls in Hubs (and occasionally presenting from Hubs) and starting this week, Hubs Commons is now broadcast alongside the physical office locations and is available for Mozillians to join in. No special hardware required, by the way -- just join us in Firefox. Check out the #et channel on Monday mornings for details!
* '''Bytecode Alliance Announced''' -- Last week Mozilla, Intel, RedHat, and Fastly announced a new open source community called the [https://bytecodealliance.org Bytecode Alliance], dedicated to creating new software foundations building on WebAssembly outside the browser.

A [https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/announcing-the-bytecode-alliance Code Cartoon post] from Lin Clark on the Bytecode Alliance web site details the overall vision, contributions from each participating company, and insight into what’s to come in bringing this exciting new computing model to fruition.
* '''Mozilla WebThings Gateway 0.10''' -- Last week we released an update to [https://iot.mozilla.org/gateway/ Mozilla’s WebThings Gateway]. Version 0.10 comes with support for thermostats and smart locks, as well as an updated add-ons system including extensions add-ons that enable developers to extend the Gateway user interface. We’ve also added localization settings so users can customize the Gateway to their locale. Delightfully, though the release has only been out for four days, we already have three localizations contributed by our enthusiastic community members (“Thank you!”). You can read more about it in our [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/11/thermostats-locks-and-extension-add-ons-webthings-gateway-0-10/ Hacks blog post]. And we’re happy to note that last week saw the 100,000th download of WebThings Gateway since our first release in February of last year..
* '''Understanding Social Computing''' -- The Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) [https://cscw.acm.org/2019/ conference], held last week in Austin, Texas, explores the technical, social, material, and theoretical challenges of designing technology to support collaborative work and life activities. That’s obviously something we’re passionate about at Mozilla, so we helped sponsor the conference and presented findings from some of our research in the area, including [https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3359126 tools used by “crowdworkers”], implications for [https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3359126 work/life balance], how distributed colleagues [https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3359179 support each other], and insights into how people [http://www.psagroup.org/static/publications/cscw2019_protest_nonuse_camera_ready.pdf change or stop using] a company’s technologies in protest against the company’s values and actions.
