* '''Required Reading''' -- Lots of great content to catch up on in the New Year. For example, it’s time for the annual Mozilla Hacks Blog [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/12/mozilla-hacks-most-read-blog-posts-of-2019/ 10 most-read posts of 2019] recap, highlighting popular articles on what’s new inside Firefox, outside the browser, and on the web in general. You’ll also find a flurry of new Hacks posts from December to round out 2019, including details on our [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/12/presenting-the-mdn-web-developer-needs-assessment-web-dna-report/ MDN Web Developer Needs Assessment]. And there are some great new videos on our Mozilla Developer YouTube channel such as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ1oQJJn1nQ Why are there Four Firefoxes?] plus lots about accessibility.
* '''AV1 In The World''' --- Last week was the huge CES consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, and in all the usual announcement activity you might have missed that both [https://www.anandtech.com/show/15355/ces-2020-samsungs-8k-qled-tvs-use-ai-quantum-8k-soc-support-av1 Samsung] and [https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/3/21047876/lg-real-8k-tv-ces-2020-oled-lcd-alexa-google-assistant-homekit-airplay-2-alpha-9-gen-3-features LG] demonstrated new 8K TVs with built-in support for AV1 streaming video, bringing our royalty free media technologies to your living room. Also, Netflix now has public facing AV1 encoded content on their website, which you can [https://www.netflix.com/title/80190859?enableAV1=true&videoProfiles=av1-main-L30-dash-cbcs-prk&enablePRK=true browse and enjoy] (in Firefox, naturally). 2019 was indeed a big year for AV1 adoption.
* '''Community Awesomeness''' --- Last week we mentioned we’d enabled localisation of Mozilla Web Things Gateway through our [https://pontoon.mozilla.org/projects/webthings-gateway/ Pontoon] community translation platform and at the time we were excited about having 10 translations contributed. Now, a week later, we’re up to twenty four contributed translations, which is just an extraordinary demonstration of the power of community. Thank you! In other Web Things Gateway news, we’ve completed packaging work that’ll make it easier to install and use Gateway on Linux and Raspberry Pi systems, and finishing up some year-end code clean up including an overhaul of our [https://github.com/mozilla-iot/webthing-arduino webthing-arduino] library.

* '''Localizing the Gateway''' -- Our latest Mozilla WebThings Gateway (version 0.10) introduced support for localization of the user experience, and we’ve now made that [https://pontoon.mozilla.org/projects/webthings-gateway/ possible as a project] through Pontoon, Mozilla’s community-oriented translation platform. Ten translations have been contributed so far, and as you can see from the project dashboard on Pontoon that number is growing rapidly. Thanks to everyone who is contributing!
