- (Rahul)+1 +💖+1000 to all the mozillians that participated in Orlando All Hands

TOPIC 1 - Firefox OS - John Bernard
- fx os as a team moved to Connected Devices - focus on iOT, home, web of things -including smartphones
- growing to have more relationships with partners and products
-
- Colaboration - contributions - Open Source led project that with the volunteers help will get more people more involved ( technical, marketing etc)
-
- Core - Product - a nice product that people will love to hack on
-
- Consumer - our products were not seen as appealing to the users.
- We will not have operators this year- release in May
- Most exciting thing - how will Mozilla drive the IoT world -> This will be bigger than the smartphone revolution we show till now. Instead of starting with 6 years behind iOS and Android , we can start from the same point in IoT now.
