Common Voice هو مشروع يهدف لجعل تعريف الأصواف مفتوح و متاح للجميع .
لانشاء نظام يعتمد على الصوت المبرمجين بحاجة الى كمية ضخمة من بيانات الصوت. معظم بيانات الصوت التي تستخدمها الشركات الكبيرة غير متاحة لمعظم الناس . نحن في شركة موزيللا نعتقد أن امتلاك الأصوات من قبل جهة محددة يحد من الأبتكار .
مشروع Common Voice يسعى لجعل الأصوات متاحة للجميع ، يمكنك التبرع بصوتك و المساهمة معنا .
حتى تكون مجموعة البيانات الصوتية قابلة للأستخدام نحتاج على الأقل الى 2000 ساعة من تسجيل الأصوات التي تم التحقق منها مسجلة من على الأقل 1000 صوت مختلف .
تنوع الأصوات هو الحل الأساسي. التنوع على أساس الجنس، العمر، خلفية الأصوات ، اللهجات.
نحن نؤمن أننا نستطيع الحصول على تنوع الأصوات من خلال مشاركة المجتمعات التي تدعم موزيللا في العالم !
يمكنك المشاركة معنا بالتبرع بتسجيل 15 دقيقة من صوتك و كنوع من التشجيع سنقوم بدورنا بتزويدك بمقدمة عن علم البيانات و تعلّم الآلة .
سنقوم بفلسطين بتنظيم تجمع للتعريف بالمشروع و طريقة التبرع ، سيتم الأعلان عن التفاصيل لاحقاً .
انتظرونا 🙂

Mozilla’s Common Voice is the project that aims to unlock and open the voice ecosystem. It needs YOUR help to advance English voice collection and get to the next level. In order for a language to be usable by speech recognition engines we need at least 2000 hours of voice collected from at least 1000 diverse people, and we think communities are the only ones that can enable this diversity.
So are you in a country where English is being used as an everyday language? RSVP in the campaign and help us reach our goal of 100 hours of voices in two weeks.
We are planning to organize a campaign to talk more about the project , show the donation process and encourage you to donate on site or at home!
More details are coming soon
Stay Tuned 🙂
تم أنجاز ورشة عمل مع مجموعة من أربع طلاب تتراوح أعمارهم من 12 الى 16 سنة في مركز Let’s code
لتعليم الطلاب مبادىء البرمجة و التفكير المنطقي .
قام الطلاب بالتعرف على بعض تطبيقات الواقع الافتراضي و قامو باستخدام Spoke composer
لتجميع محتوى ثلاثي الأبعاد في مشهد خاص بهم و نشره على Mozilla hubs.
Mozilla hubs هي عباره عن غرفة محادثة مبينية على الواقع الأفتراضي و Mozilla soke هو عبارة عن أداة تسمح للمستخدم بتجميع تصاميم ثلاثية الأبعاد من مصادر مختلفة مثل Sketch fab و Google poly لانشاء محتوى ثلاثي الأبعاد .
كما قام الطلاب برؤية نتائج عملهم على نظارة Occuls go باستخدام متصفح Firefox Reality المعد خصيصاً لنظارات الواقع الأفتراضي .
كانت مدة الورشة 3 ساعات تمكن خلالها الطلاب من بناء نماذج ثلاثية الأبعاد خاصة بهم و نشرها على Mozilla hubs

Saturday, February 16 , 2019 I gave a workshop about web virtual reality using A-frame.
The workshop was held in Let’s code center for teaching kids programing in Nablus – Palestine. It was attended by 12 schools students whose ages are between 10 and 16.
Students already have background about programing, but they never developed VR apps before and five of them never tried VR before.
The workshop was of three hours, we spent the first hour talking about Mozilla, Web, open source, the differences between webVR and VR native apps and the differences between AR , VR and MR.
We discussed the differences between 2D and 3D web apps and started with aframe what is it and why we use it .
After getting introduced to some a-frame tags we started developing Hello world app using glitch.com as an editor and server for their pages.
The students were excited about trying simple codes, changing positions ,rotation and light values for each object using the visual inspector tool and then apply the changes to their code and see their code live on their phones.
At the end of the workshop, I introduced them to Firefox-reality and let them try it using Oculus go headset. They were so surprised about how real the VR experience was using Oculus.
In January 28th, Mozilla community in Palestine have created a small video in Arabic to participate in Firefox Fights For you campaign and introduce people that Firefox fights to protect its users privacy.
The following amazing people have participated in recording the video :

Aya started by talking about Mozilla common voice project and encouraged students to donate their voices in Arabic . She talked about the importance of having Arabic voice bank in many projects. Moreover, Ayah told students about her campaign that aims to collect Arabic voices. She started by gathering interested people in a facebook group and asked them to add common Arabic sentences in this sheet.
Then I talked about Firefox types with small description for each one. I focused on Firefox Reality and mentioned Mozilla mixed realities projects like Mozilla hubs and Aframe . I also gave resources for each one and encouraged students to get started. In addition, I introduced students to RUST and Web Assembly by giving brief description and resources for them. In the break students had the opportunity to try Firefox Reality on Oculus go headset.
After that, Ruba introduced students to Mozilla’s contribution opportunities and talked about her experience in participating at Mozilla SUMO(Support Mozilla) and Mozilla L10 project.

Wednesday 24th October, 2018 I gave a talk about web virtual reality and A-frame to senior computer science students at An-Najah National university.
This is the longest talk I did about WebVr. I spent one hour and a half and if I have more time I will take it. Students were engaged and excited about the topic and asked a lot of questions.
Even the talk was long I did not get tired and I don’t think that it was boring. It would be so boring if I speak alone. In my case the audience were around 35 students and we discussed our opinions and did a lot of comparison during the talk .
I showed them some examples and demos and we went through Aframe code examples, the visual inspector tool and the A-frame registry .
I want to thank my Tech speakers colleagues Felipe Do E. Santo and Srushtika Neelakantam.
I used the material they shared on their git hub and I asked Felipe a lot of questions before the session.
This talk has 2 first things. Firstly, it was the first “very long” talk I give. Secondly, it was the first talk that I feel I did well when I finished. I usually finished my talks with the feeling that I did bad and I skipped important info or I talked quickly .
I believe this is because I feel confidence as the department of computer science is my comfort zone ; I already know exactly who is my audience . Also, I got prepared well and asked Felipe about some issues that was not clear to me.
Tuesday, 25 September ,2018 the Mozilla community in Palestine organized an event as a part of the global dark funnel campaign to help Mozilla understand what’s in the dark funnel (The mystery download sources that %70 of Firefox downloads come from ).
The event was organized in cooperation with with Engineer without borders students association and the Information Technology faculty at An-Najah National University .
Yamama started the session by introducing students to Mozilla community and Firefox features.
Next, Ruba told students about how to use search engine to detect dark funnel websites and how to report them.
Around 15 students participated in the event and they did their best to detect Firefox downloads that does not come from official Mozilla websites.
During the event students tried Firefox reality on Oculus go headset and they were impressed about the Virtual experiences they had.

I was invited to attend Mozilla Techspeaker meetup this year in Paris.
The event took place in Mozilla Paris office on 15,16 th September 2018. The purpose of this event is to gather active tech speakers in order to get introduced to each others, attend workshops and get advises about conference speaking ways and strategies from global expert coaches.
The event was wonderful, all participants delivered a technical talks. All talks were so useful and introduced us to Mozilla’s projects, activities and products . We learned a lot from listening to each others.
I delivered a 7 minutes talk about Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Realities in Education. During the talk, I presented a small example I built using (A-frame) to introduce students to Egypt pyramids through a web VR audio tour.
The coaches feedback was so helpful . They gave their opinion in a positive smart way that help us a lot to improve ourselves and our public speaking skills.
Attending other Tech speakers talks and discussed with them the topic and the coaches opinion was the best part of the event.
All tech speakers are positive and passionate about Mozilla and all were professional in their own way. There is something new I learned from each one of them.
Also, we got the opportunity to attend several workshops about Firefox reality on go , IOT , Rust and web Assembly.
Furthermore, I enjoyed visiting Paris, and going for a tour in the city with those amazing people. We visited the National Library, Bank of France, the Stock Exchange, la Place des Victoires, the Ministry of Culture, the Palais-Royal and the Louvre.
I am grateful that I was able to have this amazing weekend in Paris with the best people anyone can wish for . Thanks to everyone organized and worked hard to make it that success.
