Mozilla Developer Roadshow - Kuala Lumpur

Hi I am David Bryant and I am a technical fellow

in the emerging technology organization

and I have a variety of roles as an individual contributer in emerging technology

largely associated with technology transfer, getting our research in implementations

quickly out of those organizations into product or out into the world

My name is Jun Ong, I am and architect

and I am also a light artist so I do a lot of light related installations

I also work with programmers, electrical engineers, electronic engineers to do interactive art installations

My name is Chee I am the director of Women who code Whakuahua network

Women who code is a non-profit organization from San Francisco

what we do is to empower and encourage women

in leadership especially in technology careers

and also of course too encourage more women to code

I like the idea that it gets us out

more places I think I'd rather have 57 developer road shows than one giant galactic developer event

the opportunity to connect with the community

talk to teams of people working in areas that the see

as being central to the success of the web

more than just talking to the developers about their

specific projects which is always a good thing

how do we actually scale that up and do more

community to community

we can probably have more conversations in a single

developer roadshow visit in an area like this

with more active communities because were working

through that incubator that already sort of got them

mutually aware of each other

so if you look at what we have done in firefox

and with our web platform technologies over the

two years that I have been involved a lot of that work

has been driven by what developers need

so the web gains stack with GL what assembly a bunch

of these formative technologies sort of coordinated

and brought together because were interested in what

developers want and need and how to satisfy them

were focused on broadly web experiences and new

kinds of experiences that can be brought to the web like

VR and augmented reality and speech and that

sort of thing so the way we know we are going to get

those experience out into the world is by engaging with

the developers that are going to help us build the

technologies, build important tools like A-frame and then

create these alternative experiences that will ultimately

give people more value out of the internet

and with this it gives me a lot of freedom

because I always thought my creative process

sketching on a notebook and is very two-dimensional

and then try to work my way into 3D modeling software

so this kind of combines these two steps together

I can immediately sketch while being 3 dimensional at the same time

It's hard for clients to perceive how it will impact

their space unless its rendered

it will be cool if at some point we can play on luminosity

so the light can glow and I can dim it, maybe shadows

so I don't even have to render it, I can just sketch it

and that's like the render already

I put the goggles on the client and that's it you know

you get the idea immediately.

this would be a good method to get people to

visualize this idea 3 dimensionaly

events like this are helpful to create awareness attention

but they don't know where to go after that so their is

not so much follow up after that

so that is the next step for community organizers

like us to find out what we should do with people who

attend the events and what is next for them

we find it can have more impact now because we can impact

trainers, teachers that have access to all the schools

so that's exciting and I am hoping in 5 years time

we will move to whats impacting larger societies not just

reading your techies not just meeting businesses

but with society that's the beauty with open source

where every body contributes
