* '''IEEE VR Update''' -- As we mentioned last week, the annual IEEE VR conference ran entirely online and was the first major conference deployment using Hubs Cloud Enterprise. The Hubs Cloud deployment hosted viewing parties, speakers, birds of a feather sessions, social hours, poster sessions, and sponsor rooms. Hubs.mozilla.com traffic increased significantly as a result, with an approximate 4.7x increase in the number of trailing monthly active rooms compared to the end of February. We also had 1,800 account sign-ups the week of IEEE VR. Overall the event was a huge success for Hubs and our Mixed Reality team, and certainly a sign of more to come.
* '''DeepSpeech Results''' -- If you’re a developer who’s been following ongoing work on our DeepSpeech speech-to-text (STT) engine you’ll be interested in a pull request that just landed to allow for multiple transcription results to be returned, from most certain match to least certain. This gives developers using DeepSpeech a more detailed view on the various results the STT engine is considering and perhaps alter their responses and user experience accordingly.
* '''Learn More''' -- Also in the news for developers department, Firefox 74 was just released and you can check out Chris Mills’ post on our Hacks Blog to learn about all the new features including some significant security enhancements. There are also now [https://hacks.mozilla.org/zh-hans/2020/03/security-firefox-74/ Simplified Chinese], [https://hacks.mozilla.org/zh-hant/2020/03/security-firefox-74/ Traditional Chinese], and [https://hacks.mozilla.org/es/2020/03/la-seguridad-es-todavia-mas-con-firefox-74/ Spanish] localizations of Chris’ post, which is something we plan to do for all of our future Firefox release Hacks Blog posts. Additionally, Jen Simmons’ [https://youtu.be/AMPKmh98XLY “Designing Intrinsic Layouts”] presentation from An Event Apart is now available on YouTube, and is a master class in how to use CSS to better leverage the art of graphic design.

* '''IndieWeb Community''' has switched to online Homebrew Website Club meetups this past week, and successfully ran last weekend’s [https://indieweb.org/2020/London IndieWebCamp London] 100% online! IndieWebCamps have always been a mixture of in person and on-line, so the transition to on-line is a natural extension of the self-publishing nature of IndieWeb itself.
