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
