Mozilla - you make Firefox, right?

Yes, we make Firefox, but...

is a mission driven, non-profit organization.

Mozilla's mission is to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the web.
- The Mozilla Mission

is a community of people united by a common purpose – to build the Internet society needs. We think we need an Internet that is open, so we can make and do more.

Humans need connection.

The Web is an ecosystem of knowledge.

The Opte Project

Individuals must have the ability to shape their own experiences on the Internet

How do we solve global problems,

if we can't communicate with each other?

For social activists (like you)

this means that we have to create opportunity for our communities. We want to support participation, not consumption.

"Open" is important, because if something isn't open, we can't see how it's made.

“Open” means:

  • Decentralized
  • Innovation/Hackability
  • Transparency

culture + mechanics = citizenship

  1. People who love the web ...
  2. Take action ...
  3. To teach other people to about the web.

And speaking of code...

The Web is built with code.

Spreading a Movement

Mozilla believes that we can all spread Web Literacies by learning and making together. That's why we run in-person trainings and events like the Mozilla Festival.

the digital world is GIGANTIC

and Mozilla is rather small.

But Mozillians are passionate, and passion can lead to a better world.
