Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
<div>
<div>The call for session proposals for this year's MozFest 2015
closes on <b>Monday August 31</b> and we're ramping up our
outreach to see if you'd be interested in joining us to run a
sprint session at this event.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Mozfest is our annual event for the Foundation, with last
year reaching over 1700 youth, researchers, developers,
educators and more. This year's event is in London on November
6-8. We'd love to have you join us and showcase your work.</div>

<li><b>New this year for the Science Lab: the "open research
accelerator"</b>: via a partnership with the journal of brief
ideas, we want to encourage researchers to come join us to get
1:1 help with their project and learn about open source. All
submissions will receive a DOI so they're citable, receive 1:1
help on Saturday, and be set to run their own sprint session on
the Sunday. Read more about it here - <a
