Friends of Mozilla

  • Big thanks to Ashish Sakreen, Varun Joshi, and Njira Perci who have all recently contributed their first patch to Balrog (our update server).
  • To William Quiviger who’s leaving Mozilla next month. Your vision and leadership have been key for the organization during the past 8 years. Mozilla Reps, the current Participation Team, most of our local communities and many other links and bridges between staff and the volunteer community wouldn’t be possible without you. Thanks!
  • To the team of contributors who gave talks and represented Mozilla at FOSSASIA in Singapore this past weekend: Anivar Aravind, Ram Dayal Vaishnav, Rizky Ariestiyansyah, Robert Reyes. Big thanks!

  • The Role of a Product Manager – and Everyone Else: Monthly Speaker Series: 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 5:00pm UTC @ Mozilla MV + Air Mozilla

“The job of a product manager is to help your team (and company) ship the right product to your users.” Seems simple – but anyone who has worked on a product knows it’s not. At what point are you ready to ship? What is the right product? How do you know when you’ve built it? And often more complicated than it sounds: who are your users?

  • Speaker:

As an investment partner at Greylock, Josh Elman invests in entrepreneurs building social networks and platforms, mobile apps, new media, and connected devices. Before joining Greylock, Josh was the product lead for growth and relevance at Twitter, growing Twitter’s active user base by nearly 10x. Prior to Twitter, Josh worked on the platform at Facebook and led the launch of Facebook Connect. Josh was an early employee at LinkedIn and helped establish early models for user growth and launched v1 of LinkedIn Jobs. Josh also held roles leading product management for Zazzle, and product and engineering for RealJukebox and RealPlayer at RealNetworks.

Status Updates By Team (*non-voice* updates)

Connected Devices

The first four projects to come out of the innovation process were announced on March 1st with close collaboration between marketing, product, engineering and participation, creating a “single source of truth” that anchored the media coverage and trafficked interest to the respective wiki pages. This also was the first utilization of the branding process for innovations; note that each project was introduced with “Project” in their name, and none used any branding like “Fox”, “Fire”, “(Z)illa” or “Moz”. Highlights include:

Wiki Updates: Marketing worked with PMs to create project abstracts and “infoboxes” for each wiki page, making the next layer of content easily consumable by media and the public. Marketing, ePM, Product and Participation continue to populate these and the related pages to ensure they’re useful, and deliver on our promise to innovate in the open.

Building Products with Partners: Monthly Speaker Series with April Underwood of Slack

  • Time: 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm UTC
  • Location: Mozilla SF + Air Mozilla
  • Topic: Building Products with Partners: Interview with Slack VP April Underwood

Building products is complex. Building products with partners, considerably moreso. Varying missions, resources, goals, strategies and cultures pose challenges. But partnering well on products is often worth the effort. This month April Underwood, head of all product & partnerships at Slack, will draw from her experiences at Google, Twitter, Travelocity and more to help us navigate the complexities of marrying products and partnerships. She’ll be interviewed by our very own Bertrand Neveux, who has built products with partners for most of his career at and leading up to Mozilla.

  • Speaker: April Underwood is VP of Product at Slack, a messaging platform that has evolved into a diverse ecosystem of partners. There, she drives key growth initiatives and oversees platform products, partnerships, API integrations and developer relations. She previously worked on products for Travelocity, Apple, Google, Climate Corp (Weatherbill). Just before joining Slack, April led teams of Product Managers as Director of Product on Twitter’s fast-growing Advertising (Ads API, ads.twitter.com) and Data (Firehose, Gnip) products. She was also a PM for the Tweet Button and Twitter API, and built Twitter’s Business Development team from the ground up to strike strategic partnerships with firms including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, EA, Salesforce and Adobe. And while she used to write code (and sometimes writes term sheets as an angel investor), her first love is building and leading product teams and working with engineers and designers to build and launch great products that people want to use.
  • Host: Bertrand Neveux
  • Questions: Submit questions for April during the event on IRC #AirMozilla.
  • Hashtags: #mozSS #brantina

Project Status Updates (voice updates)

Connected Devices

Speaker Location: Bertrand Neveux, SF

An update on a few recent developments in our Connected Devices efforts.

Speakers

The limit is 3 minutes per topic. It’s like a lightning talk, but don’t feel that you have to have slides in order to make a presentation. If you plan on showing a video, you need to contact the Air Mozilla team before the day of the meeting or you will be deferred to the next week. The meeting is streamed in a 4:3 format in order to allow for split screen. If your slides are 16:9 “widescreen” format, please indicate in the “Sharing” column below.
