All-hands Status Meeting Agenda
Items in this section will be shared during the live all-hand status meeting.
Friends of Mozilla 
- Thanks to the Brazil Mozillians who contributed their time to staff Mozilla's booth at BrazilJS this past weekend. Also special shout-outs to staffers Helen Holmes, Mike Taylor, Michael Ellis who made the long journey south and to Tech Speakers Rabimba Karanjai, Gabriel Micko, and Andre Garzia for their support.
- Shout-outs to the crew at JSConf Iceland, which happened at the same time on the other side of the planet: Lin Clark and Dan Callahan for speaking, and Flaki and Andrzej Mazur for helping with a Progressive Web Apps workshop.
- Massive kudos to Tim Murray for patiently responding to all wild blog post comments on Now for the fun part.

10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm UTC - Moz PDX + AirMo: Being Human in a Data-Filled World with Genevieve Bell, Intel
In May, Kevin Kelly shared the possibilities that technology will offer us over the next 30 years. Not addressed were some of the unintended consequences of this progress. Facebook Live, Snapchat and Pokemon Go provide a few examples of how tech is outpacing our ability to socially (and legally) master it. Innovation unchecked can pose serious challenges to our very humanity. Best practices for user research and focusing on specific use cases have limited impact on our ability to shape the future we want.
Join us in Portland and on AirMo for our Augtember speaker as we explore how to proactively preserve our humanity in a world that is increasingly digital. Specifically, we’ll learn about five things that don’t change and five things that do, and how paying close attention to them will help us be successful.
