If so (or you want to!), come on by and join a gathering of people with likeminded interests. Bring your friends that want to start a personal web site. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, help work on a project, whatever…

- 2) Webmaker profile pages. Iterate on Webmaker profile as a personal curation tool. Easy ways to share what you’re making and teaching.

- 4) Appmaker. Add this new tool to our kit. Make it easy for anyone to create Firefox OS apps. Embrace mobile.
