I am proud of my colleagues’ work to organize MozFest and thankful for the participation of every facilitator, partner organization, and attendee. Those are the big pictures I want to help achieve by working alongside wonderful colleagues and community members leading the way to an open web.

\nThis year I attended my third MozFest – my first as a Mozilla Foundation employee. Working as a pathway leader<\/a> in the Mozilla Learning Networks<\/a> (MLN) space helped me focus on helping others. In years past, I hosted conversations<\/a> and hacked on a giant scrum board<\/a>. I steered my own magic carpet-ride of learning<\/a>. However, this year I organized supplies, supported facilitators and promoted their sessions, and talked curriculum with anyone who’d listen. This all felt like the right job at the right time. During set up, between sessions, and at the end of it all, I was never so happy to move tables and chairs as I was at Ravensbourne<\/a>. I think Mozilla is especially good at engineering this kind of serendipity between what you’re ready to give and what needs to be done whether you call communities to action, push furniture, or ship code (not that those things are mutually exclusive).
\nHera Hussain explains it best in this post about her journey to MozFest 2015<\/a>.
\nRegarding curriculum, I left MozFest inspired by people from around the world. We talked about:<\/p>\n\n
\nIn looking ahead to the rest of the year and Q1 of 2016, I want to build on the MozFest momentum in developing:<\/p>\n\n
\nMozFest gives us an opportunity each year to say thank you for believing in us; we believe in you<\/em><\/strong>. It’s also our opportunity to reaffirm our belief in community. Behind, within, and surrounding the Open Web is a world of people who deserve nothing less. Helping those people shape the Web is a privilege, and I’m thankful for it.
\nPS – We are all local to MozFest! If you’d like to help keep the MozFest spirit going, you can help us test<\/a> and localize<\/a> curriculum year-round. Please let us know<\/a> if you have questions or work to share!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
