* '''Eight IndieWebCamps Completed in 2018''' -- <span style="float:right">[https://indieweb.org/2018/Berlin https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4905/45698785541_b00e74a5da_t.jpg]</span>This month we hosted [https://indieweb.org/2018/Berlin IndieWebCamp at our Berlin office], the eighth city in this year’s [https://indieweb.org/IndieWebCamps series of global grass-roots BarCamps] helping individuals take back their data and online experience from the content silos. By bringing users, designers, and developers together, we helped accelerate the adoption of [https://spec.indieweb.org/ decentralized web standards], from [https://snarfed.org/1-million-webmentions Webmention which broke the 1 million mark] at the start of this year, to emerging building blocks like [https://indieweb.org/Microsub Microsub] which enabled the launch of [https://indieweb.org/reader new mobile social readers] that put users in control, instead of advertisers & algorithms. And you too can become part of the movement at an IndieWebCamp near you as we have at least eight planned for 2019 along with the monthly HomeBrew Website meetups we help host.* '''Tech Speakers 2019''' -->The applications period for the next round of our Mozilla Tech Speakers program closed on November 22nd (last Tuesday). We had 200 applicants submitted from outstanding candidates representing 41 countries. We appreciate everyone’s interest, and will let you know how the selection process proceeds!* '''Firefox Reality Update''' -- As we close in on our 1.1 release, we’ve not only landed bookmarks support and a UI completely rebuilt for performance and visual fidelity, but also localized voice and text for 7 additional languages. Thanks to everyone from the l10n team who has pitched in to make that happen! Make sure to try out Firefox Reality, the rest of our AR and VR projects, and everything else we’re doing in ET during the demos session next week in Orlando.

* '''First from XR Studio''' -- The first product developed by a participant in our [http://xrstudio.co/ XR Studio] program launched last week: "Spot the Surveillance" from EFF rockstar Laura Schatzkin, who taught herself A-Frame over the summer! [https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-unveils-virtual-reality-tool-help-people-spot-surveillance-devices-their Spot the Surveillance], which works best with a VR headset but will also work on standard browsers, places users in a 360-degree street scene in San Francisco. In the scene, a young resident is in an encounter with police. Users are challenged to identify surveillance tools by looking around the scene. The experience takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. For access to the VR experience and instructions on its use go [https://www.eff.org/pages/spot-surveillance-vr-experience-keeping-eye-big-brother here].
