Mozilla Festival 2014

Posted on October 28, 2014 by Caitlin McDonald

Mozilla Festival is many things to many people.  For me, it’s mainly encapsulated by a feeling.  That feeling is passion for sharing joy in technology, tempered by a sense of responsibility to curate the web as a community space.

Data visualization isn’t something most people get all het up about. This is a pity, though, because we live in a world that is swimming in a sea of data.  More than at any time in the past, massive amounts of information are being collected, sorted, collated and used.  Where is it getting used?  Governments, … Continue reading →
