Welcome to Mozilla
- 3 neat things to consider as we see the space: Mozilla is a non-profit with both volunteers and paid staff, it is a technology organization and it is a global organization
- You are in one of our 12 community spaces around the world
Overview of Mozilla
- A non-profit started in 1998
- We now have 5000 active volunteers and 1000 staff
- We're mostly known as the makers of Firefox. We also advocate user choice, privacy and security.
- Our mission - We believe in making the Web better for everyone.
Our Space
- About 200 people work in this space
- Why we have a commons space: a place for volunteers, staff and friends to collaborate
- Commons area used for Monday Project meetings as well as brownbag discussions and events held throughout the week
- We provide free food, drinks and internet
- The building itself is an important part of San Francisco history
- Hills Brothers Coffee built this building almost 100 years ago
- The sign is still proudly displayed on the roof as a historic landmark
How we work
- Globally distributed with a dozen Mozilla Spaces and people working from hundreds of locations
- Much of our communication happens virtually (IRC for chat, Vidyo for meetings)
- We also use several tools for collaborating, like Bugzilla, Etherpad and Mozillians
- We place a high value on in-person meetups for planning, work weeks, sprints and information sharing
- MozCamps are regional meetups with a few hundred participants
- Summits are large meetups with thousands of participants
Our working space
- Desks are in an open area and everyone has the same desk (from volunteers to the CEO)
- Meeting rooms are used for in-person and virtual collaboration
- Room names have different themes, which are chosen by the people in that space
- Coffee (1st floor), Well-known San Francisco people (2nd floor)
Our products
- Firefox is our flagship product with over 400 million users
- Firefox for Android is the Firefox you love on your Android and the highest rated mobile browser
