* '''Hubs integration with Discord''' -- Our Mixed Reality team [https://www.vrfocus.com/2019/04/mozillas-web-based-vr-platform-hubs-adds-discord-support/ announced] integration between [https://hubs.mozilla.com/discord Hubs], our social virtual community space, and [https://discordapp.com/ Discord] -- a popular platform that provides text and voice chat for communities. We’ve been using Discord ourselves to engage with our community around Firefox Reality and Hubs, so it seemed natural to bring the two more closely together. The Hubs Discord integration allows members to use their Discord identity to connect to Hubs and brings Discord channels into Hubs rooms to capture the text chat, photos taken, and media shared between users in each space. In this way Discord becomes part of your shared virtual experience in Hubs, and Hubs allows extended interaction and sharing for Discord communities through social VR.

* '''Developer Roadshow 2019''' -- Our Developer Relations team [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/04/mozilla-developer-roadshow/ announced] Mozilla Developer Roadshow 2019, a meetup-style, Mozilla-focused event for people who build the web. Our [https://github.com/mozilla/devroadshow2017 previous Roadshow] organized 55 events around the world in 2017. This year’s series is back to tell the story of how the web continues to democratize opportunities for developers and digital creators, and kicks off with events in New York and Los Angeles with additional sessions planned in Europe and Asia Pacific. Keep an eye on the [https://mozilla-tito-devr.netlify.com/ Roadshow website] for more details on topics and speakers, and when an event will be near you.
* '''Building a machine to help us fix Bugs''' -- Mozilla receives hundreds of bug reports and feature requests from Firefox users every day. Figuring out how to properly get them to the right person so they can be addressed long been a manual process, which we call “Bug Triage”. Our Firefox Release Management team wondered if we could use software to help that process along and so built BugBug, a machine learning tool that analyses new bug reports and automatically assigns them so they can get addressed. Trained on over 100,000 bugs and initially deployed in late February, BugBug has now triaged around 350 bugs and reduced the typical week-long manual assignment effort to a median time of two days. You can read more about BugBug and what’s next in Marco and Sylvestre’s [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/04/teaching-machines-to-triage-firefox-bugs/ Hacks Blog post].

* '''Most Loved, Again''' -- Every year StackOverflow surveys the developer community and this year nearly 90,000 respondents [https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019 answered questions] about everything from their favorite technologies to their job preferences. For the fourth year in a row, Rust was their [https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#most-loved-dreaded-and-wanted most loved] programming language, reflecting the impact and engagement Rust continues to gain as more developers use (and love!) it and more companies put it into production.
