Mozilla Global Sprint

UNO Libraries is again a site host for this year’s Mozilla Global Sprint, May 10th and 11th, 2018! This is a fast-paced, fun two-day collaborative work event where we’ll come together to build open projects for a healthy Internet, and open government data. If you're new to the concept of Internet Health, take a look at Mozilla's new 2018 report on the topic. The Global Sprint Host Site here in Omaha is at the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Community Engagement Center, from 9 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. on Thursday and Friday, May 10 and 11, 2018. Click here to register, or select the button below.

You can join in and participate, no matter your skill set or level. We're looking for coders, designers, writers, educators, students, and open-access data advocates. We want anyone who's passionate about the open web! Mozilla has a terrific group of projects that need help, but we're also focusing specifically on creating curricula for Endangered Data Week - an annual, international event designed to highlight threats to publicly available data. Learn more here about Endangered Data Week, here.
