Innovation Booths in Brussels

  • Firefox Developer Tools (Jeff Griffiths) - The Firefox Developer Tools team will be showing off the latest in web and browser development tools to anyone interested in hacking on web apps, add-ons or the browser itself.
  • Firefox Metro (Windows 8) (Yuan Wang) - Firefox Metro is a touch-optimized browser built from the ground up for Windows 8. It's designed for comfortable touch browsing and the same time works well with mouse and hardware keyboard. Firefox Metro has a set of unique features to demo, including a clean and visual Start Page, in-context auto-complete screen, on-screen re-positional controls, windows 8 edge gesture-based browsing, etc.
  • Peep: Secure Python Deployment Without Servers Or Vendor Libs (Lonnen) - Historically, deploying Python projects has been a pain in the neck for the security-conscious. First, PyPI lets authors change the contents of their packages without revving their version numbers. Second, any future compromise of PyPI or its caching CDN means you could get a package that's different from the one you signed up for. We have historically solved this by running our own local PyPI servers, which means added burden in both system administration and people administration--figuring out who gets upload rights. Alternately, we sometimes sidestep the problem by creaing vendor libs, but that necessitates a lot of fooling around with VCSes, and it doesn't work so well with compiled libraries. Peep, a thin wrapper around pip, solves this problem.
  • Mozilla MathML Project (Frédéric Wang) - Are you developing math tools for e-education, e-publishing, accessibility or FirefoxOS? Are you willing to publish your LaTeX papers as real Web pages? Are you tired of the poor quality of math images on Wikipedia and other sites? Do you want to make your math pages really compatible with DOM, Javascript, CSS, HTML or SVG? Have you ever dreamt to use math in e-mails, chat clients, blogs, wikis, search engines or HTML editors? Are you familiar with Arabic notations or handwriting recognition? Then come to our booth to discover how the Mozilla MathML implementation can help and try some cool demos! Let's discuss what currently works and what requires improvements. Whether you need complex equations for your favorite scientific topics or just think elementary math on e-content is important for school children, you will certainly find something interesting! More resources here
  • PuppetAgain (Dustin J. Mitchell) - open source configuration management for release engineering
  • Web Literacy Standard (Doug Belshaw) - Where do you go if you want to get better at your web skills? How do you even know what's important to learn? The Web Literacy Standard comprises a map of competencies and skills that Mozilla and our community of stakeholders believe are important to pay attention to when getting better at reading, writing and participating on the web. We'll be releasing v1.0 of the specification at MozFest so come and see what we've been up to! (@WebLitStd)
  • WebFWD & Hatchery (Didem Ersoz) - WebFWD is the Global Accelerator Program of Mozilla, helping startups from all around the world build and grow businesses.

  • Parallel JavaScript and Typed Objects (Nicholas Matsakis, Felix Klock, and Shu-yu Guo) - We are working on two extensions to JavaScript to make managing and processing large amounts of data more efficient. Parallel JS adds new, parallel variations on familiar methods like map and reduce, allowing JS functions to easily take advantage of multi-core computers. Typed objects allows you to specify the memory layout of your JS objects, which can greatly reduce memory overhead when working with large amounts of data. Both of these extensions are being considered for inclusion in a future version of JavaScript, likely ES7.
  • UX (Larissa Co) - This booth will showcase design work happening around Mozilla. We will staff the booths with designers during the Innovation Fair.

It uses OpenStreetMap by default, can record GPS tracks - and on the desktop/laptop I can show a self-built custom navigation pad for it (made out of cardboard, tinfoil, and a MakeyMakey board). I have done all that as fun side projects to learn how to hack something together with simple tools, and how our web app ecosystem works."

Vincent) - Verbosio is supposed to be a platform for editing XML markup, where each XML language (XHTML, MathML, SVG, RDF, XUL, etc.) can be an add-on. That's the theory, anyway.
