Become a Tech Speaker -Â The Mozilla Tech Speaker program is designed to develop the talents of volunteer technical advocates and educators who are interested in speaking about the open web and Mozilla products and technologies at events around the world. Tech Speakers receive support from Mozilla in the form of speaking opportunities, public speaking training, briefings and technical training, and funding for their activities. We can't stress enough how helpful this free program is, Laka is a product of that program. Applications will close on November 4th, 2018 at 11 pm Pacific Time.
