Mozilla Global Sprint 2017: Lets Hack IT!!
Mozilla’s Global Sprint is a fun, fast-paced and two-day collaborative event to hack and build projects for a healthy Internet. A diverse network of scientists, educators, artists, engineers and others come together in person and online to innovate in the open.
The Global Sprint originated with the Mozilla Science Lab (you can get a glimpse of a past MSL Sprint here); this year we’re going Network-wide. Your open project is welcome, whether you’re working on web literacy curriculum, starting a new club, developing apps to protect user privacy online, creating new scientific software, planning local community events, or creating tools that make data open accessible to all.
Mozilla is a champion of an open, healthy, and accessible Internet for all, so this year our tracks for the Sprint are topics critical to Internet Health:
At Mozilla Clubs we’re especially excited to participate in this year’s Sprint because our global community is growing and we are eager to see them share and collaborate with others around the world. Several projects are in the works already!
The basic Idea behind Global Sprint:
1. Protect and build the open Web
2. Bring your project to the Sprint
3.Collaborate and create in person
There were 108 projects, 2223 comments/issues and 824 commits. Participants included educators, students, artists, librarians, software developers, researchers and more. The opportunities for collaboration, inquiry, peer support and overall discovery seemed endless.
Mozilla UP Participated with a great zeal at Global sprint building and hacking their way across lots of Projects and Streams.

As a community manager and collaboration enthusiast, participating in the Global Sprint was a truly unique experience that I look forward to being involved with again. Judging by all the projects and reflections streaming in it seems I am not alone in this sentiment. See you next time!
