Devrel/2015 First six months
From MozillaWiki
< Devrel
This is what we've done on the first six months of 2015, when the team was created/rebuilt:
- We attended 22 conferences and meet-ups in 16 cities, 8 countries, 4 continents
- At which we gave 21 talks
- Had 62 posts in the Hacks blog (1 more than in the previous 6 months) about a million and a half page views, and about 800k users
- Recruited 8 tech speakers from 7 different countries, who wrote 6 assets and delivered 11 talks. Kudos to Adrian, Ahmed, Andre, Andrzej, Flaki, Kaustav, Michaela, and Rabimba for their contributions and their successes in the pilot. Thank you.
- We also created even MORE assets as a byproduct, i.e. libraries, demos, slidedecks, videos and content kits
