At this Sunday I attended Panaggio & Mel's house for I Webmaker Brasil Work Weekend. During it, I worked at some records from FISL15 and Panaggio, Mel and Coragem at some issues for Maker Party Week.

I still need to edit most of the records from FISL15 but the one that required more work was done and you can watch it (720p <walking-with-fox-at-fisl720.mp4> or 360p <walking-with-fox-at-fisl360.mp4>). This video shows Fox's walkings during FISL15 and Firefox Launch Party. The others videos are records from some talks at Mozilla's Room and just need a simple cut at the begin and another one at the end.

Although there still many important features to add and minor fixes I would like to make available the first "all-in-one" prototype of the math virtual keyboard.

Extra Patch

Last week I wrote about the prototype that use the IME Switch Key <../03/flatfish_and_la_tex> and this "all-in-one" prototype join the previous layouts into one and add some changes into apps/keyboard/js/keyboard.js that request some conversation with Keyboard App owners and Firefox OS UX team.
