MozFest Is More Than Just Once A Year

We love the MozFest community so much, we’ve decided to gather more than just once a year.?

Last week, we wrapped up our first in-person event since October 2019: the Ethical Dilemma Cafe. It was a long overdue celebration of our community and also a social experiment. By stepping into the cafe, all visitors faced an ethical dilemma: their willingness to cross the threshold and be complicit in the interpretation of how their data defines them and their community, in perpetuity. Check out this incredible wrap up video from community member Craig Steele of Community Skills Education.
