== What We'd Like To See Happen in 2015 ==
Following MozFest, we are looking for the '''amazing ideas and physical applications''' that creative or practical people have developed on Fx OS FxOS enabled Raspberry Pi platforms. More details to follow about a 2015 Challenge !!
We are actively seeking - and would welcome - the development contributions that can extend Firefox OS FxOS functionality on RaspberryPi Raspberry Pi devices to* be at parity with Raspbian/RPi as a hobbyist environment. Users will be able to read from sensors and & control motors, LEDs, solenoids, slave boards, etc. A modified Fx OS FxOS for Raspberry Pi will be able to fly a drone.
* be competitive with other media player OSes available for RPi.
* be competitive with other IDEs for FxOS on Raspberry Pi targeted at beginning programmers, like IDLE and Scratch.
* enable programmers (via DOM/CSS) to develop robotics etc. by building a declarative model of a reactive system. With one type of output device, the actual electronics could be interfaced with. With another type of output device, the model could be simulated on a client computer.
== 2015 Development Sprints / Challenges for Fx OS FxOS on Raspberry Pi (and other boards) ==
=== Development Sprint A ===
After this appendix, DOM/CSS would enable programmers to develop robotics etc. by building a declarative model of a reactive system. With one type of output device, the actual electronics could be interfaced with. With another type of output device, the model could be simulated on a client computer. This is a very large and open-ended project. This is a research programming-languages project.
