AGENDA
TOPIC 1 - Public Policy Update
Net Neutrality:
Copyright:
Mozilla Open Source Support (MOSS) program - SOS Fund Launched!
Links:
QUESTIONS:
- How are you you getting the initiatives? Are you following official authority ( as EC for ex) or you take on “complains” from people?
- we are a small team - 7 and we try to cover policy around the world
- as of late, we have been focusing on US and EU, but plan to build out more
- Policy Team - Cybersecurity, Privacy, Net Neutrality, Copyright. See more: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Netpolicy
- we check for potential for impact - if there is a need for a voice (a unique Mozilla voice)
- In the case mentioned at the EU - do we have a close contact we are working too? Are we giving input to the Digital Agenda?
- we work with different institutions and actors in Europe
- we are loved by many of them (yay ) !
- we have allies - a lot of movement on tech policy in Europe and many players that we work with, e.g. with Digital Single Market (DSM) Strategy (Responsible Commissioners Ansip and Oettinger ), the European Parliament, and many stakeholders in the private sector and civil society.
- How mozillians can get involved and help?
- we try to create some paths for mozillians to learn about and contribute to policy at Mozilla
- most mozillians put them at heart - very passionate about many of these issues
- Policy stewards - open mailing list
- Request for Mozilla Policy Support: This form is for Mozilla Reps and Staff to tell us about pressing Internet policy and advocacy issues in your country/region so we can see how to best provide support. Please also join our Advocacy Community at discourse.mozilla-advocacy.org. Note, this form should not be used for product reviews or related inquiries. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-Zyn_5YXDKyL1QAvO_zItkpLsX7yHen0kXWuWr5tRZQ/viewform?edit_requested=true
- Is there a place where we can get updates about news in this front?
- just mentioned - mailing list – Policy Stewards google group: https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/policystewards
- DRM taken to its logical conclusions IS the end of private property. Under a legal DRM regime it becomes cost-free to add DRM to products. Since all products will contain computers (including “smart labels” etc) that means everything will contain software. This becomes critical for life-preserving devices like medical implants. Is it worth to have a “Save private property” campaign emphasizing these ideas and the interplay of copyright, DRM and ownership?
- I heard in the US, authorities are at times directly asking Mozilla specifically for statements to topics - is that happening in the EU as well?
- You send updates to EU Mozilla staff regularly, could NDAed Mozillians (Reps!) get those as well?

- What is IoT HackHyderabad ?
- IoT HackHyderabad is a 2-day hackathon which creates on-the-spot teams of technologists to shape the next generation of the connected internet.
- IoT HackHyderabad, where Things and Cities become Smarter! Make an Impact for Our Hyderabad in 32 hours! Take a second to think about what distinguishes you, as a hacker. Is it your impressive ability to stay (semi) functional for 24 hours on end? Maybe your unmatched ability to maintain a sense of humor, even when the Gods of Code decide to pick on you that day? Or is it your ability to easily process immense amounts of Red Bull? While all of these things are impressive (seriously, props for the no sleep thing), what really distinguishes you hackers from others, is your unparalleled PASSION for what you do. A passion that is derived from a single feeling, and is guided by your need to see that feeling turn into a thought, the thought turn into an idea, and the idea come to life! Welcome to the first season of IoT HackHyderabad, where Things and Cities become Smarter! Hack. Have fun. And win prizes! , this time for a 32-hour hackathon kicking of from Hyderabad on July 23rd and 24th 2016.
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data.The IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure,Creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit; when IoT is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes an instance of the more general lass of cyber-physical systems, which also encompasses technologies such as smart grids, smart homes, intelligent transportation and smart cities. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.
