Mozilla's Boot to Gecko (B2G)

Tiggr is a web-based mobile app builder created by Exadel, a global software engineering company founded in 1998 and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Tiggr allows developers and non-technical users to easily and quickly build mobile apps using a 5-step approach involving prototyping the UI, defining REST services, mapping services to the UI, adding events and actions, and testing on mobile devices. Upcoming releases will include new features like a brand new UI, support for XML services, and Android and iOS project generation.

This presentation shows some of the key enablers of the Maemo 6 release including a high-level illustration for developers how the Maemo 6 UI works.

1. Nokia aims to simplify open source software by removing clutter from desktop interfaces, adding a dashboard for multitasking, and designing interfaces that are finger-friendly. 2. Consumer insights allow Nokia to build understanding of what consumers value, improve mobile device experiences, and develop offers to verify with consumers. 3. To effectively use open source, Nokia had to understand different technologies, work with communities upstream, balance openness versus differentiation and licenses, and streamline product development.

The document describes two software engineering projects worked on by the author. The first was developing Bluetooth functionality for the WebOS platform from scratch, including creating a layer structure and developing profiles like GAP, FTP, OPP, A2DP and HFP. The second project involved working on Webkit rendering and event flow to enable accessibility features for WebOS, such as single touch to speak component names and double tap to activate the last touched component. Development tools used included GDB, Valgrind, Jira and Source Insite, while configuration management was done with GIT and Bitbake.

WebRTC allows for real-time communications like voice and video directly in web browsers without plugins. While SIP is a signaling protocol used for controlling multimedia sessions in VoIP, WebRTC focuses on media and does not define its own signaling protocol. WebRTC needs a separate signaling server and protocol like SIP to fully operate call setup. This marginalizes SIP's importance somewhat by making communications more accessible to developers and embedding them directly into applications rather than separate services. However, WebRTC and SIP can also benefit each other when used together.

Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing solution that focuses on user privacy. It discusses various privacy threats like eavesdropping, user fingerprinting, and compromised devices/environments. It recommends muting video when unnecessary, hosting meetings in private spaces, and self-hosting the Jitsi software which is open-source and can be built without Google libraries. Features like background blurring and voice obfuscation are in development to further protect user privacy during video calls.

Slides from the talk given at FOSDEM 2019 on how Jitsi Meet was brought from the web to mobile and how we built a native SDK using React Native. Video: https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/jitsi_mobile_webrtc/

Neev built a cloud-based web application that has emerged as one of the world’s largest social networking platforms for social entrepreneurs to connect, discuss, share, innovate and help each other. Catering to a global audience, the application supports 12 languages. The social platform has an in-built search feature that allows any profile or discussion to be searched based on tags, relevance, type of activity, etc.

Firefox OS is an open source mobile operating system developed by Mozilla. It uses HTML5 and CSS3 to create applications, allowing developers to use the same tools and languages as the desktop web. Firefox OS includes components like Gecko for rendering, Gonk as the Linux kernel, and Gaia for the user interface. It provides various web APIs to allow applications access to device functionality. Firefox OS aims to provide an alternative mobile ecosystem that is not a "walled garden" and makes application development simple through available tools and an open source approach. It has been launched on devices from manufacturers like ZTE, LG, and Alcatel.

Bootstrap4XPages is an OSGi plugin that provides the Twitter Bootstrap framework for developing responsive, mobile-first XPages applications. It includes the Bootstrap CSS, JS, and jQuery libraries. Developers can enable the Bootstrap theme in their XPages applications without changing any code by simply selecting the Bootstrap theme in the Xsp Properties. The plugin is available on OpenNTF and makes it very easy to use the popular Bootstrap framework with XPages.
