[video+slides] FirefoxOS – HTML5 for a truly world-wide-web (Sapo Codebits 2014)

Chris Heilmann at SAPO codebits
Today the good people at Sapo released the video of my Codebits 2014 keynote.

In this keynote, I talk about FirefoxOS and what it means in terms of bringing mobile web connectivity to the world. I explain how mobile technology is unfairly distributed and how closed environments prevent budding creators from releasing their first app. The slides are available on Slideshare as the video doesn’t show them.

There’s also a screencast on YouTube.

Since this event, Google announced their Android One project, and I am very much looking forward how this world-wide initiative will play out and get more people connected.
