* '''New Mozilla Developer Portal''' -- Last Tuesday we (soft) launched the new Mozilla developer portal ([http://developer.mozilla.com http://developer.mozilla.com]). The goal is to provide a central place where developers can see everything Mozilla has to offer them and easily get to it. The content pointed to includes Firefox for developers, MDN documentation, and developer-facing content across Mozilla We’ll be measuring impact through reach (traffic) and engagement (number of pages, time on site, clicks to additional content). Plans for 2020 include expanded content hosting (move Hack Blog to the portal), video hosting to offer an alternative to YouTube, and premium content and videos.
* '''No More Waiting for Async-Await''' -- In the recent Rust 1.39.0 release async-await syntax hits stable Rust! [https://blog.rust-lang.org/2019/11/07/Async-await-stable.html This work] has been a long time in development -- and we are very proud of the end result as support for asynchronous I/O is expected to be an increasingly important part of Rust's story. While this first release of "async-await" is a momentous event, it's also only the beginning. The current support for async-await marks a kind of "Minimum Viable Product" (MVP). We expect to be polishing, improving, and extending it for some time. To get involved in that work, check out the Async Foundations Working Group; if nothing else, you can help us by filing bugs about polish issues or by nominating those bugs that are bothering you the most, to help direct our efforts. Many thanks are due to the people who made async-await a reality.
* '''Tech Speakers 2020''' -- The 2020 Tech Speaker [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeylcnCyGPwUNpo1h56_XxmcnETDaHW0nytJGhDQSNQ_YctAw/viewform application] period has opened! Tech Speakers are volunteer speakers, with varying ranges of public speaking experience, who give technical talks and workshops worldwide on topics aligned with Mozilla products and technologies. We are specifically concentrating on increasing regional representation in Asia (Mandarin speakers in particular) and growing women and non-binary speakers. Please encourage anyone interested to apply!

* '''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!
