* '''Congratulations Andre!!''' -- For the fifth year in a row CNET’s Spanish-language sister site [https://www.cnet.com/es/ CNET en Español] has assembled its annual list of [https://www.cnet.com/news/cnet-en-espanol-the-20-most-influential-latinos-in-tech-2017 20 Most Influential Latinos] working in technology and we are INCREDIBLY proud that Mozilla’s and ET’s very own [https://www.cnet.com/es/imagenes/latinos-mas-influyentes-tecnologia-cnet-2017-fotos/14/ Andre Natal] was included, recognizing his many years of continuing contribution to voice and speech software. | |||
* '''Donate your noise to science''' - Our research team has been exploring application of deep learning concepts to the classic problem of removing noise from voice, and doing so in a compact and efficient way that could be used everywhere to improve phone conversations, conference calls, live meetings and more. They’ve created a demo that shows and explains how their implementation, RNNoise, works including letting you try it out live from your web browser. Because the deep learning approach requires training you can help us make the algorithm much better by donating a minute of your noise from anywhere you might communicate. Visit the [https://people.xiph.org/~jm/demo/rnnoise/ demo site] to learn more, or you can go right to the ‘Donate your Noise to Science’ [https://people.xiph.org/~jm/demo/rnnoise/donate.html page] and contribute. | |||
* '''Winners in the sixth annual Js13kGames contest were just announced''' - In case you’re not familiar with the [http://2017.js13kgames.com Js13kGames] competition it’s run by Mozillian Andrzej Mazur and awards over $20,000USD in prizes for HTML5 and JavaScript games that must be no larger than 13 kilobytes.

* '''Project Gateway at MozFest''' - Look for our Project Gateway team at MozFest this year (October 28-29th) as we’ll be staffing a demo table throughout both days of the event plus hosting a hands-on workshop to help people get involved. Reminder: Project Gateway’s goal is to let you build your own Web of things gateway based on the Raspberry Pi. More information and all the code is available on [http://iot.mozilla.org/gateway/ github]. | * '''Project Gateway at MozFest''' - Look for our Project Gateway team at MozFest this year (October 28-29th) as we’ll be staffing a demo table throughout both days of the event plus hosting a hands-on workshop to help people get involved.
