Former Rep
This Rep has been part of the program from 06 June 2017 to 08 July 2019
I am originally from Australia, now living in London, and building an Open Source fitness platform. With a strong history in customer service, flagship retail management, staff training, and self-driven tech expertise. Reliant on open source projects (an everyday Linux user for almost a decade) I firmly recognize the importance of giving back to open source in anyway I can. Taking in many aspects of:
- community building
- diversity & inclusion
- event support & management
- supporting workshops
- web technologies
- documentation
- and most recently developing knowledge in Rust
A regular contributor to Mozfest since 2014. Proofs of my commitment to Mozilla:
- Mozilla's Network 50 awardee
- A-Frame workshops
- London Privacy Lab
- MDN contributor
- Global Sprint (London sitehost 2018)
- Open Leaders (Round 2 participant and mentor in rounds 4/5)
- Organiser of monthly MozCoffee London events
- UK Community management
- Weekly UK Community calls
- Leader in Mozilla's Discourse
- Editor of the UK Community Calendar
- MozFest Space Wrangler (2017 & 2018)
I've recently applied for the 2018/19 Tech Speakers program. I have my fingers and toes crossed as this would mean the world to me, if I were to be accepted.

David Ross
David is a Mozillian living the UK and active in a lot of different Mozilla projects. In his day job he is building an Open Source Fitness platform. You might have seen him at the past few MozFests in London. Last year he did a great job wrangling the Privacy&Security space.
In the past few months David has organized several MozCoffees in London as well as online meetings for the London community. This is part of an effort to re-activate the UK community he took on. David likes to plan ahead and he already has 7 upcoming activities he is going to participate at, including an event in summer of 2019 (that's not a typo)! Last but not least he was a nominee for the recent Council election.
