The most amazing thing about this is happening under the hood: the developer wrote a library that abstracts browser rendering engines using Canvas, SVG and Flash (on a per-need basis) into a unified language – Objective J which is – as the name suggests – a mapping from Objective C to JavaScript. That said, I am on a hefty MacBook pro, so I’ll check the performance on the old work-horse Thinkpad at home later. Click the Source button, then click the Add button. Have a play with it and especially check the key-commands and drag and drop support. To use an external camera or device as a live video source, follow these steps: In the Format sidebar, click the Live Video tab. I’ve first seen a preview of this at the first JavaScript developer meetup in San Francisco earlier this year, but now the 280 North guys have released their very Keynote-esque presentation editor for the web.

The slides and screencasts are available on GitHub and we are also keeping a repository of the explanations and screencasts on the Mozilla Wiki. The audio recording of the talk (raw, unedited) is available on. You can see and present the presentation here (use cursor keys to navigate the slides and press ‘N’ to show ): To this end I put together not yet another slide deck on SlideShare, but a way to see a presentation and then pick and mix what you want to show yourself. A lot of times what is missing is a simple way to tell people about the things you want to cover. We have a lot of people and volunteers, and everybody should feel empowered to speak in public. I am currently at the Mozilla all Hands in San Jose, California and decided to give a talk explaining a lot of open technologies to my colleagues so they can go out to conferences and get people excited about them.
