Introduction
Through the days of Firefox growth, around 2009, Marcio was supporting both Mozilla Community development, and the API development for Firefox, plus also the software enginers working in the API, with this effort which involved collaboration, design, engineering, and presentation. The outcome, which was presented at MozChile in 2009, was a the following demonstration entitled Firefox Multitouch Drawing Demonstration which showed an innovative concept of a drawing application. For the general audience, the demonstration showed how to use the multitouch infrastructure which was introduced in Firefox in 2008. This project involved the coding of the web application, working with the software engineer who developed the multitouch API, and presenting the demonstration to the Mozilla community.
Letter of thanks from 2009
"Credits and thanks. Thanks to Felipe Gomes for the original samples, notebook machine, and build work. Touch car development work done for Firefox and Mozilla. Thanks to Chris Hoffman for helping. Felipe's multi-touch HP computer get into San Carlos. Thanks to MozCamp Chile France for motivation and support. I have created a sample app to support the MozCamp Chile 2009 events and modify the original canvas sample created by Felipe. I have removed the auto-erase effect and added brush colors for now.
