Firefox OS is a new operating system aimed at emerging markets to replace feature phones with HTML5 based Smartphones whilst still being affordable. In this talk you'll see its architecture, how to take part in it and what it means to the evolution of HTML5 as a platform. A lot of promises have been made, here you can see HTML5 working without having to jump through hoops and abstractions.
