It’s not you, it’s the data.

The @mozilla.org Festival is all about re-imagining tech and building a more people-first digital world.

This year, it is happening in Barcelona — and if you are thinking of coming, use my code MOZFESTAMB for 25% off tickets (or 50% off if you have a group of five or more).
