Manifesto Principle

Transparent community-based processes promote participation, accountability, and trust." - Mozilla Manifesto

or

Free and open source software promotes the development of the Internet as a public resource." - Mozilla Manifesto

Introduction

Mozilla devotes a significant amount of time and resources into fostering a healthy ecosystem for communities to work--not just the Mozilla community but communities around other open source projects and free culture organizations. A healthy online community doesn't simply happen (there is no magic pixie dust) but it can be encouraged and supported.

Priorities

Promote a healthy ecosystem of participation online
Help create successful models that can be repeated for new goals
Support software development that benefits our own software creation

Get Involved

Insert a few links here to relevant contribute pages.
