Sardinia (/sɑːrˈdɪniə/ sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa]; Sardinian: Sardìgna [saɾˈdiɲɲa] or Sardìnnia [saɾˈdinja]; Sassarese: Sardhigna; Gallurese: Saldigna; Algherese: Sardenya; Tabarchino: Sardegna) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and before Cyprus). It is located west of the Italian Peninsula and to the immediate south of the French island of Corsica.

Sardinia is politically a region of Italy, whose official name is Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (Autonomous Region of Sardinia), and enjoys some degree of domestic autonomy granted by a specific Statute. It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city, with Cagliari being the region's capital and also its largest city. Sardinia's indigenous language and the other minority languages (Sassarese, Corsican Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino) spoken on the island are recognized by the regional law and enjoy "equal dignity" with Italian.

Objectives

Mozilla Sardegna is a volunteer-run community engaged in promoting openness, innovation, inclusion, and opportunity on the Web in Sardinia. It was born out of an effort to bring together a community for users, and developers of the Mozilla and Open Web technologies in Italy. Mozilla Sardegna is part of the global community of Mozilla Foundation and also share the same ideals and objectives of the national Mozilla Italia community.

Mission

Mozilla Sardegna, as a community, aims to reach end users and contributors with various resources. We make it easier for anyone to participate and help them work on the projects they choose to get involved in. We raise awareness about Mozilla's mission and introduce Mozilla to educational institutions, government organizations, and corporate companies. We create momentum for action and strive to keep the Web open.

We promote projects and ideas of Mozilla in Sardinia by organizing events, through localization of products, by offering free help, knowledge, resources and our vision for an open Web, by making everyone realize that Internet is a critical public resource.

Internal organization

Mozilla Sardegna is a self-organized community that are focused in the differents areas of contribution. Actually doesnt' exist a structured main organization. We promote the inclusion, the diversity, and the meritocracy like the rest of Mozilla.

We promote open source and open Web technologies in the region. We are open to associate/work with existing open source or other community-run, public benefit organizations.

Areas Of Contribution & Teams

Anyone who cares about the Web, loves Firefox or believes in Mozilla's mission can join the community and start contributing to the projects. You don't have to be a C++ guru to be able to contribute to Mozilla. There are several areas that one can contribute to based on how much time they have, even if that's just 5 minutes!
