Mozfest a time for Wellness, Poetry and Critical Friendship
Last week we took part in Mozfest ! You can relive the session by rewatching talks via Mozfest session. Mozfest was an amazing time to connect with activists and organisers who are making a difference in internet health; from the language panel to creativity.
Here’s a short snippet of the poetry session we ran via spatial chat to support sentence collection on Common Voice.
Ps. Look out for an upcoming Mozfest reflection blog !
