Webmaker
Speaker Location: Ryan Merkley, Vancouver
Sunday is Mother’s Day! Why not send Mom a hand-crafted web page to show her how much you care? Mozilla makes a tool that makes it easy to tell mom you love her — Webmaker! We’re working on a prototype this week that will help people make a page for Mom — and learn a little HTML and CSS along the way. We’ll share a sneak peek in today’s lightning presentation from Jacob Caggiano.
- See Jacob’s example
- Use this early Thimble prototype to make your own (more polished version coming later this week)
- Other ways to get involved with Webmaker this week:
- Sign up for Maker Party 2013. Or invite your Mom! 🙂 June 15 – Sep 15. Get together at thousands of big and small webmaking events around the world.
- Join our new “Teach the Web” open online course. Boot camp for Maker Party. Growing a small army to teach the web: programmer mentors, techie grandmas, teachers, novelists, girl scout hackers and you. Meet them and check out highlights here.
- 8 other fun ways to get involved with Webmaker this week.
Firefox OS
- 1.0.1: In certification testing with OEMs, trying to fix bugs turned up by that process as quickly as possible.
- 1.1.0: Entering first phase of chipset vendor testing next week, so focus there is getting any regressions and new features cleaned up before it begins.
- MMS Workweek in Portland ongoing this week.
- Geeksphones seem to be flying off the virtual shelves as fast as they can restock them.
