Right, just check my lovely browser Firefox and it’s been updated to version 27.0.
Yayyy \^_^/
So what new in version 27?
As part of commitment to to provide privacy and data integrity while you’re online, Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 has been added to Firefox 27. It’s now running both TLS 1.1 and 1.2 by default.
There is also update on Social API that allows multiple social integration partners to send notifications at the same time. Facebook, Cliqz, Mixi, MSN Now, Weibo plus additional Delicious and Saavn are now integrated with the Social API.
Hahaha no, somebody’s done that already.
It’s look a head
It’s been a while before Firefox OS chosen to be the new mobile operating system from Mozilla. We knew it before as Boot 2 Gecko (B2G) and i’ve got no success installation story :P Seems my phone is not in the recommended list, and i’ve messed up my raspberry pi.
A year ago, I made this post —it’s in Indonesian— about the “launch” of Firefox OS in Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2013. Along 2013, Firefox OS is starting to shine. Well, not yet shiny. It will take some times and good support from anybody.
Firefox OS (FFOS) is an open-source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers. It’s based on Linux and open source. Not only for smartphones, FFOS is set to be used on smart TVs also. Early 2014, Panasonic and Mozilla announced their partnership to bring FFOS for powering the next generation Smart TVs. Cool, isn’t it?
FFOS is now available in 14 markets, mostly in South America. Big Telco names have been partnership with Mozilla to use Firefox OS including Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica, Telecom Italia, Telenor. And I’m happy the the company i’m working for will be one of them :) Yayyy…
Alcatel, ZTE, LG, Huawei and don’t forget Geekphone are shipping Firefox OS devices now. VIA is working on something to bring FFOS to desktop world.
But still, it’s hard to get the devices here to play with. Rely on simulator only is not enough.
So, what’s it gonna be this year? I’m sure FFOS will shine brighter this year, and I wish it will be easier for us (in developer point of view) to purchase the device.
Just quick gooling about #Wikufest3 held on 24-25 January 2014.
Hmmm, idea to make a blog post in english turn to be a good one :p
I think @gen could take a look on some posts from the young Mozillians of SMK Telkom Sandhy Putra Malang :)
I’ve seen the Keon and some people kindly enough to lend it to me and let me play for a while.
During Mozilla Summit 2013 in Santa Clara, I’ve also played with some of the devices made by ZTE. Never a fans of ZTE phones. Has one long time a go in the early day of Android, and it was so … well, couldn’t find a proper english word to describe it.
I’ve seen the list of possible partner on spreading the Firefox OS with Sony, FoxConn, Huawei, LG, TCL, Spreadtrum there along with ZTE.
I’ve seen the Geekphone Peak showed by Gary K. (Mozilla Security Engineer) at MozHQ Mountain View
But this LG Fireweb is something!
FYI, LG is launching its first Mozilla Firefox OS phone called the LG Fireweb (LG D300). The phone will be available soon in Brazil from wireless carrier Telefonica.
Like most other Firefox handsets, the Fireweb is an entry-level class. But, Fireweb has something that help set it apart from the ZTE Open and Alcatel One Touch Fire, including a 5MP camera with auto-focus and an LED flash. The spec is:
Screen Size: 4” (480 X 32o)
Weight: 122.50 g
Size: 11.38 X 6.65 X 0.9
OS: Firefox OS v1.1
Camera: 5MPX with Flash
Internal Memory: 2 GB + support for 32 GB microSD card
Battery: 1540 mAh
Connectivity: 3G
In the previous posts (in Bahasa Indonesia but i’ll post the english version if you want it) you might feel that i’m trying to write a report about the summit. Well I did try, but actually it’s more to sharing my feeling, the exiting being in the summit and the whole topic in the last 3 days. The new tech that most of them I barely know, the people, the project, the cause, the vision, the values of Mozilla and being a Mozillian and so on
This is it, the last day of the summit.
Felt like it was just yesterday the summit begun. There are still many people i’d like to meet, talk, discuss and plenty of things need to be learnt. But more important is i need to contribute more. And join more groups also :)
Therefore I specifically attend the SuMo (Support Mozilla)class to meet Rosana and Madalina, the wonderwomen behind SuMo Projects and the other fellow SuMo as well. Andi @belutz and @rara79 also join this class. I’ll make the post about it later.
In the afternoon, we had a visit to Mozilla HQ at Castro Street, Mountain View lead by Pascal Finette. It was only for the first 50 person who signed up but i think we had excess passenger :P So, 50 people using the bus, the other 2 or 3 people taking taxi he he he.
After the closing speech, this summit end with a dance party where Gen Kanai being the DJ that night and played a lot of nice music :)
Notes to be followed up

As usual, you can view the rest of the photos on my flickr Mozilla Summit Stories:
I choose to take less photos but take more notes because there’ll be a lot of interesting topics in day #2. I mean technical related topic because we have Innovation Fair. Up until the second day, this summit is a perfect reminder of how brilliant the mozilla contributors are and and a wake up call how much of a n00b I really am. So much to learn and it’s like burning me inside (in a good way).
Yosh!!!
Keynotes di hari kedua ini penuh demonstrasi produk. Sebut saja ada WebRTC, Simple Push, Firefox OS Marketplace, App Manager, AppMaker, Shumway, games berbasis HTML5.
And then The Innovation Fair!
I saw many projects – i mean [highlight]AWESOME PROJECTS[/highlight] – that i (probably you too) haven’t heart before. If you’re there you know what i mean, there were “WOW!!” appluse, whistle everywhere in the room. And there are also gasp, interviews, note taking, asking questions rapidly like a machine gun to the developer because their projects are just simply … awesome.
Some of them might say “Ah, it’s just a toy. I built it for fun coz at that time i have nothing to do”
Daaa,
kalo iseng ajah dah sekeren itu gimana jadinya kalo mereka pada serius :P
Beneran, jadi ingat ke masa-masa lalu waktu bisa alokasi waktu senggang untuk bikin project-project iseng/experimen ^_^ (apa lagi kalo lihat film Code Rush :P). I’m trying to get those days back to my life now! FTW! :P
Saya mulai dengan [highlight]Lantea Maps app[/highlight] yang dihubungkan dengan kontrol fisik dibuat menggunakan MaKey Makey. Developernya bilang ini cuman proyek iseng saja, Makey Makey mengingatkan saya ke maenan bread board dengan segala printilan elektroniknya di kelas teknik digital-nya Pak Bambang sewaktu masih sekolah dulu. Si kontroler Makey ini tugasnya untuk zoom out/in serta geser layar kiri kanan atas bawah
Belajar bagaimana tim Jepang yang sukses membajak satu display untuk demo HTML5 game lengkap dengan xbox controller. Perangkat gamenya sendiri dibuat menggunakan Panda Board. Tim Jepang juga mendemokan gesture control menggunakan sensor leap motion (dan saya lupa order barangnya padahal yg jual di amrik juga :( ). Ini semacam versi primitif gesture control di film Minority Report lah. Gila emang tim Jepang ini.
Ada Talkilla, project ini adalah salah satu contoh penerapan WebRTC. Nah kalo kamu pingin nyobain Talkilla, tinggal akses ke sini. Cuman, kamu harus menggunakan Firefox 25 ke atas.
Ada [highlight]Appmaker.[/highlight]
Appmaker ini semacam WYSIWYG GUI/IDE untuk membuat Firefox OS app. Masih dalam tahap pengembangan tapi sangat-sangat potensial. Di versi ini kamu sudah bisa menggunakan beberapa utama dari WebAPI HTML5. Cukup drag and drop juga untuk membuat layout tampilan app kamu. Yah bisa dianalogikan kaya pake Ms Visual Studio, Dreamweaver n sejenisnya deh :)
Panda Chassis & Mozpool, sebuah proyek yang merakit kumpulan Panda Board menjadi semacam blade server. mounting rack chassisnya ini adalah project open source yang disebut sebagai Panda Chassis itu tadi.
Firefox Metro, ini touch based browser yang optimized untuk perangkat Windows 8.x. Designnya alus banget dan minimalis, ini yang bikin saya tertarik. I love simplicity.
[highlight]Firefox Australis[/highlight]. Ummm, sama kaya Metro mending kalian nyobain sendiri atau lihat video berikut deh biar tau gambarannya :)
OpenNews, ini bukan produk fisik/aplikasi. Dimotori oleh Erika Owens, OpenNews adalah sebuah gerakan yang mengajak kita untuk membangun sebuah ekosistem yang membantu kegiatan jurnalistik berkembang di era open web ini. Erika kerenn :P
Dan masih banyak lagi yang saya ga sempat mampir *dan saya menyesal berat ninggal kamera di kamar, untung masih bawa voice recorder karena nyatet sudah ga sempat juga, keburu exiting*
Karena sibuk ngider serta “interogasi” dari satu meja ke meja lain, di hari kedua ini saya praktis cuman ikutan 1 kelas fulltime. Topik kelas di hari kedua ini ga kalah banyak dibandingkan hari pertama. Namun ada satu ganjalan. Sebenarnya saya berharap perwakilan dari almamater sekolah saya bisa join kelas 3D GameLab Open Badges. 3D GameLab Open Badges ini dapat digunakan di proses belajar mengajar terutama di sekolah. Lisa Dawley yang memberikan materi di kelas ini backgroundnya juga dari pendidikan.
Tapi sayang orangnya entah pada ngilang kemana, jadi cukup kecewa sih. Padahal ini kesempatan yang could only be one in a lifetime. Mumpung di sini gitu loh *sigh*
Di akhir acara hari itu saya join kelas “Level Up with Firefox Student Ambassadors” yang herannya ga ada aktivis FSA Indonesia yang join kelas ini. And I was like the only one that has no relationship with any education institution in the class. Buset deh he he he he.
Eh engga ding, si Rara kan dokter n di akhir kelas ada @eriskatp ma @akkuderry yang kemudian muncul. Sayang mereka ini statusnya masih highschool student, sementara FSA untuk studentnya lebih nyasar ke level mahasiswa. Tapi program FSA ini terbuka juga untuk guru, jadi level SMA pun masih bisa masuk.
Di hari kedua ini, acara malamnya terbagi menjadi dua.
1. Maen ke Great America yang temanya hari itu soal Haloween.
2. Nonton film Code Rush yang menceritakan sejarah project Mozilla
Tadinya pingin ikut ke Great America, tapi apa daya harus remote kerjaan kantor. Cukup banyak hal yang harus di review plus kayanya saya jetlag-nya telat, jadi kesempatan lah buat nambah waktu tidur :)
Great America Halloween Haunt!
Tapi ada satu hal yang membahagiakan peserta dari Asia di hari kedua ini. ADA NASI di menu makan malamnya!!! Nyicip nasi putih + kari ama nasi briyani deh (entah briyani/tandoori pokoke nasi! –mode wong ndeso asli–)
What an exiting day
liat si aji @cengkarux tergeletak saya ma fauzan ga tahan buat iseng :P jadilah 2 adegan ini
ceritanya fauzan minta berkah ke mbah @cengakarux supaya dilancarkan tugas akhirnya dan juga jodohnya *lho?* :P
