Agenda

• Call for agenda items

GUEST PRESENTATION:

• Josh Klein, co-author of Hacking Work
  • Please post questions for Josh here / or in IRC
    
    • 1) Mozilla talks a lot about "working in the open" and being agile. How does your concept of "hacking work" map back to this? Particularly as we try to scale "working the Mozilla way" to new audiences and projects -- beyond just software developers, to educators, artists, makers, etc.
    • 2) Drumbeat is all about people making cool stuff on the web. Do you have a potential Drumbeat project idea? Is there something that came out of the research for your book that especially inspired you? Something that a group of smart hackers could help build?
