More than five years into its mission, NASA's Mars Perseverance rover is still ambling across the surface of the red planet, doing what any five-year-old loves to do – stopping to look at every rock…

It started as a simple idea — teaching colleagues how to use OpenStreetMap. A few sessions later, more than a hundred people had learned not just how to map, but why it matters. This talk follows two parallel stories: the trainees who discovered new tools, confidence, and purpose through digital mapping, and the company that found a new way to connect its volunteer days with growth and community impact. Together, they show how learning to map the world can also reshape how we see our own roles, our teams, and our shared capacity to make a difference.

A meeting for (digital) privacy aware people who would love to discover some common topics, exchange ideas and approaches and maybe have some drinks…

I am a [community](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/contributors/bogomil/) [contributor](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile?user_id=359734) and a long-time user of [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/). I want to share with you my vision of what Thunderbird was, is, and will be in the future. Many people are familiar with the interface and the fact that it allows you to manage your email, but this is not why I decided to spend time improving it. I'll cover topics like: - What can any FOSS project learn from the history of Thunderbird? - Why is it run as a for-profit entity? - How you can contribute and the reasons why. - Thunderbird for Android - Web Services around Thunderbird? - Where you can view statistics and learn about how and why we use telemetry. - How do we protect your privacy and data sovereignty?
