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.

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

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

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)
