Hackers and Founders

FYI: Firefox OS APP Day / Hackathon

January 19 · 8:00 AM
Computer History Museum

Don't RSVP via Meetup. RSVP via EventBrite here:

Our friends at Mozilla and Firefox asked us to help them announce their new Firefox OS. See below.

Please join Deutsche Telekom and Mozilla at the Computer History Museum on Saturday January 19, to learn, hack and celebrate the Firefox OS, Mozilla's open source operating system for the mobile web.

Web developers will be right at home coding apps in HTML5, JavaScript and CSS for the Firefox OS. We’ll help you with everything else, including how to access mobile Web APIs and how to use the Firefox OS Simulator in your desktop browser to view and test your mobile apps.

Technologists from Mozilla and Deutsche Telekom will describe the technologies built to extend and support the new platform. Experts will be on hand to answer questions from hackers.

This App Day is not a competition; it's an opportunity to start creating mobile apps for Firefox Marketplace and the coming Firefox OS phone. It's also a great opportunity to demo your project for an audience of peers, as well tech leaders and innovators from Mozilla, Deutsche Telecom and the Silicon Valley community.
