Chris Foote (Spike) is a professional Electronic Engineer with a passion for science and technology. He is an advocate for open technology, as well as technology for development, and has volunteered with a number of global organizations such as CrisisCommons, CrisisMappers, and OpenStreetMap (OSM). He has been active in the internet health movement as a MozFest volunteer for many years, and is a member of our first cohort of “Network50.”

Spike has led and coordinated the volunteer program at MozFest for the last 4 years. He has worked hard to build a program where new volunteers feel welcomed and also understand why the Internet health movement is critical and how Mozilla contributes to the movement. He works hard to ensure the volunteers’ experience at the event is meaningful and worthwhile, taking the time to acknowledge people’s skills and interests.

Spike also tirelessly campaigns to ensure MozFest volunteers get involved in other areas of contributing to the movement. He is a real community builder - mentoring, making connections, building collaborations, putting others first, and always looking for new methods to make the process and relationships easier and long-lasting.
