* '''Gigabit Community Celebration''' -- In 2014 Mozilla, the National Science Foundation, and US Ignite [https://learning.mozilla.org/blog/celebrating-one-year-of-gigabit-innovation-in-learning-and-looking-ahead launched] the Gigabit Community Fund to invest in bringing gigabit networking services to five pilot cities around the US. -- Eugene, Oregon; Austin, Texas; Lafayette, Louisiana; Kansas City, Missouri; and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Over those four years innovators, educators, community leaders, and volunteers have demonstrated just what a 250X increase in internet speed can mean when paired with technologies like VR, IoT, and streaming/recorded video. This past week representatives of those communities along with US Ignite and NSF gathered with us and other Mozillians in Mountain View to celebrate the end of that program. The celebration showcased how what’s been accomplished has strengthened and transformed those cities through the impact of technologies we've been working on at Mozilla, and has led to opportunities for new collaborations with us in ET in areas like augmented reality, machine learning and speech.
* '''Designing for Social Good''' -- The Boost VC [https://www.boost.vc/podcast/ podcast], hosted by venture capitalist Adam Draper, just aired an episode featuring our very own Sean White. Boost VC focuses on emerging technologies through conversations with industry leaders so was an ideal setting for Sean (whom Adam called “The Tony Stark of Mozilla”). You can [https://theboostvcpodcast.simplecast.fm/mozilla listen to the episode] and hear how Sean and Adam talk about Mozilla’s work in user agency, augmented reality, social VR, on-line identity, collaborating with the Tech Museum, and the future of human/computer interaction.
