  • Speaker Series: The Power of Virtual Reality and Storytelling with Nonny de la Peña
    • Time: 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET
    • Host: Jofish Kaye
    • Location: Mozilla San Francisco + Air Mozilla
    • As the world becomes increasingly global and our online and offline lives increasingly integrated, it’s critical to convey stories that create empathy and preserve our humanity. Inspired by World War II investigative journalist Martha Gellhorn’s desire to present an authentic, “on the ground” view of world events, Nonny de la Peña founded Emblematic Group ten years ago to develop socially impactful virtual reality content with an emphasis on linear storytelling. The poignant social topics she’s addressed include hunger, incarceration, sexuality and immigration (partial list). We’ll hear how Nonny is doing this, and what opportunities this technology offers to tell better stories. More details.

  • Tuesday, 5 December 2017
    • Speaker Series: When an Online Community Hits the Big Time, with Col Needham
    • Time: 10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm UT / 6pm BST
    • Host: Soledad Penadés
    • Location: Mozilla London + Air Mozilla
    • Col Needham loves movies. In 1990 he published a series of scripts to search a lists of credits collected by a USENET group. Moonlighting while working for Hewlett-Packard during the day, Needham assembled a community from around the world to build what grew into one the most popular movie sites, IMDb. In 1998, Amazon purchased IMDb and the site now attracts over 250M unique visitors each month on the web and its mobile app. Col will share how he built up a part-time hobby with several unknown volunteers around the world into being one of the foremost expert movie sites. He will also talk about how working on a community site in 1990 was different from how IMDb operates today, and will share lessons for those of us working with global communities to build consumer products today.

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It's like a lightning talk, but don't feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 "widescreen" format, please indicate in the "Sharing" column below.
