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.

Status Updates By Team (*non-voice* updates)
Connected Devices
The first four projects to come out of the innovation process were announced on March 1st with close collaboration between marketing, product, engineering and participation, creating a “single source of truth” that anchored the media coverage and trafficked interest to the respective wiki pages. This also was the first utilization of the branding process for innovations; note that each project was introduced with “Project” in their name, and none used any branding like “Fox”, “Fire”, “(Z)illa” or “Moz”. Highlights include:
- TechCrunch: March 2nd - Mozilla tests the waters for Firefox OS IoT apps, including a Samantha-style virtual assistant
- SD Times: March 2nd - Mozilla details first round of IoT projects
- Ghacks: March 3rd - Mozilla to concentrate on four IoT projects
Wiki Updates: Marketing worked with PMs to create project abstracts and “infoboxes” for each wiki page, making the next layer of content easily consumable by media and the public. Marketing, ePM, Product and Participation continue to populate these and the related pages to ensure they’re useful, and deliver on our promise to innovate in the open.
