 introduction, my name is Ken Kanai and I work out of most of this Tokyo office and I'm basically covering Asia for our community engagement team and today I'm going to be talking about our Firefox OS basically giving you current status on Firefox OS and talk a little bit about our launches in Asia. So I think everybody here knows about Mozilla that we're a non-profit organization and we're focused on the web. I think most of you might be using Firefox the browser but we're really pretty excited about our mobile operating system as well and that's my main focus right at the moment. We've had three launches in Asia and I'll be talking about those. I think when you look at the mobile environment today we have obviously the two big players with iOS and Android and I think a lot of people sort of question you know why do you need a Firefox OS? I think it's about choice and that's actually the reason that Firefox the desktop browser became popular in the 90s to provide people with the choice on the desktop as well and as a brand we're probably the most popular open source consumer brand with the popularity of Firefox and that's one of the main reasons why we've had so many partners and carriers around the world join with us. So today we've launched in 29 countries these are some of the phones the devices that are in market today we've got you know some very affordable phones one of the phones was sold last year for 999 European pesos which is about 23 USD all the way up to KDDI's phone in Japan which is something close to 500 USD very affordable to very high-end. Our partners launch partners at the very beginning was Telefonica on Deutsche.com but we have partners all around the world both on the carrier side and on the Anson side at MWC this year we just announced MediaTek as our third chipset partner so we now have Qualcomm's Bredschrom arm so that's pretty exciting as well. For those of you who don't have a try on Firefox OS or only saw the older versions we will have a booth here starting today so please come by we've got Firefox OS phones for you to try out we have about 10 or 15 Mozilla community members attending just look for someone with a Mozilla shirt they should have a phone on them you can try out I've got my phone with me we're trying to make an interface that yeah easy to use but certainly different from you know what's out there already one of the just like though because it's a web-based operating system we can do searches across the whole OS which I think the major OS is only recently provided but that was a we had that feature from the very beginning of our platform and because it's all web-based anybody who's a web developer can actually modify any part of the OS we've got a find my device we've got accounts you know all the things that many of the things that you're probably familiar with in any of the major OS's or we're building all those features that you would want as quickly as we can and for this crowd here some of the cool new features that are launching the Washington 2.0 are NFC support and WebRTC support I don't know that those are available yet on probably not yet so coming later this year we've got a TV announcement that came out in at MWC Panasonic is launching a 4K TV with Firefox OS we've got really cool there's a round phone I don't know if you guys saw that called Runcible which looks really interesting running Firefox OS we've got tablets coming so there's a lot of really interesting things people are doing not just in the mobile phone space so how are we doing we've got 30 percent market share in Uruguay 12 percent in Venezuela we've got 11 million and a half installed as of January and 10,000 users per day on our marketplace so small but certainly growing pretty quickly in Asia we've got we've had three major launches in Asia in Bangladesh in India and in the Philippines and our community members they support the launches in many different ways in the pre-launch there's localization of interface local feature development we've got contributor still in school who built sorry he isn't here but he built the Bangladesh keyboard for Firefox OS a lot of app icons so that local apps can be ready for the for the debut of Firefox OS and then our community members also helped with preparing even our partners who are maybe not as familiar with operating system they go in and they train the support staff and the technical staff on on the operating system at launch our community members including staff as well but also our community members provide PR and communication support different kinds of launch marketing and in the case of Bangladesh for our main phone it's our partner cooperation with our carrier partner after the launch happens there's additional hackathons user meetings marketing and social media so there's just a lot that that can be done both on the technical side and on the non-technical side so as I mentioned in Bangladesh we we have Grameen phone as our partner and the community a lot did a lot of great work beforehand getting interface ready adding features doing contests to the user base about what's about the OS and we did an app challenge with Grameen phone that was really popular as well in India launched with four Indian partners handset manufacturers in tech spice up until one more than I don't know at the moment a large community marketing team is seeing some photos from a multi-city bus tour that the community did where they rented out a bus and they traveled to 12 or 15 major cities across India stopping at universities and startup village in India and a number of other places getting the word out about Firefox OS in India in the Philippines we launched with charity mobile and things are just basically starting there but they participated a lot in training and PR and promotion around the launch and there's a multiple online and offline events scheduled for later so yeah Firefox OS is as we saw on the desktop we believe was all believes that there are lots of more choice and Firefox OS provides more choice certainly because it's you can find devices at a much more affordable price than and the other two partners and the other two operating systems and also the barrier to development of a Firefox OS app is much lower all you need to know is html css JavaScript versus having to know Java or Objective-C for the other two major systems and as I mentioned we've got our TVs coming we've got uh don't like uh media dongles coming we've got obviously tablets coming a lot of partners are picking up Firefox OS for uh IoT applications sort of devices that we I can't even imagine what they're using so that's very exciting as well my presentation uh you can reach me at gen at mozoll.com or on twitter at gen gm and I'm happy to take some questions any questions everyone wants to go to lunch oh in Singapore right now I don't know you might be able to buy one on ebay but there are no there are no carriers there are no carriers selling Firefox OS phone in so there's no official watch in Singapore yet I can't talk about that at this time so so when can I actually download Firefox OS as something that can be flashed on a Samsung phone or a Sony phone or whatever it has run Android before yeah so uh all of our code is actually up on github right now and I think one of the major differences it might be that small both Android and and RLS are open source but I think the difference between um how we do things is that our code has been open source from day one and it's completely open source for the duration so you can go to github download it we also have an emulator that you can add to your Firefox desktop to run Firefox OS in here on your desktop for testing uh there are definitely builds that are out there for flashing uh let's say different samsung phones but uh we don't necessarily provide them directly from our our website so there are people who take uh our source code and make builds but we don't provide that from Mozilla directly but there are places on the internet that prefer an old-time state so yeah I'll be at the Mozilla booth for most of the weekend so you can find me there or any of the other Mozilla ins who will be at the Mozilla booth should be able to answer questions for you about Firefox OS and yeah thank you very much for your attention
