  • Monthly Speaker Series: Open by Design: How NASA Innovates to Take on the Universe, with Steven Rader of NASA
    • Location: Mozilla San Francisco + Air Mozilla
    • Time: 10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm UT / 6pm BST
    • Host: Susy Struble
    • In 2007, the Space Life Sciences group at U.S.-based National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) crafted a strategy: it would go “outside” its own walls to build a balanced research & development portfolio. Or put another way: NASA adopted an open innovation strategy for human space flights, refining its research and technology problems into challenge statements open to a variety of disciplines and technical backgrounds beyond NASA. They’re working with their staff to better define (and own) business and technology problems and connect with various communities (some commercial, some not) to improve solutions. As Mozilla rethinks how we do open, thinking strategically about how we work with contributors and others throughout the product lifecycle (and sharing some of our approaches, well, openly), we thought it would be good to take a look at how NASA engineers use open innovation as a valuable tool.

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 "widescreen" format, please indicate in the "Sharing" column below.
