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.

Topics

WebAssembly, A Game-changer For The Web

The implications of WebAssembly are huge. WebAssembly is a low level compile target that allows native-like performance in the browser. This new standard, a cross-browser evolution of asm.js, will enable amazing video games and high-performance web apps for things like computer-aided design, video and image editing, and scientific visualization. Over time, many existing productivity apps (e.g. email, social networks, word processing) and JavaScript frameworks will likely use WebAssembly to significantly reduce load times while simultaneously improving performance. Unlike other approaches that have required plug-ins to achieve this level of performance in the browser, WebAssembly runs entirely within the Web Platform. This means that developers can integrate WebAssembly for CPU-intensive calculations (e.g. compression, face detection, physics) into existing web apps that use JavaScript for less intensive work.

Come join David Bryant, VP Engineering, Platform, Martin Best, Director of Platform Product Management and others at a fireside chat where we will discuss this exciting new Web technology and answer questions.

You can submit questions in advance on the Moderator page (link), or ask them live on Air Mozilla using a Mozilla Space mic or in #airmozilla on IRC.
