A series of App Days which will take place over the course of approx one week in ~20 locations around the world.

Contributor Engagement & Tech Evangelism will collaborate on this program. The events themselves will be organized and coordinated through ReMo and the Mozilla community.

Goals

  • Demonstrate grassroots developer momentum worldwide - and especially in launch markets and places where we have strong community
  • Educate and inspire developers to work on apps and submit them to the Marketplace
  • Create opportunities for local developers to showcase their apps
  • Drive some buzz in tech press in advance of MWC
  • Launch the developer phone program (TBD)
