Mozilla is backed by an amazing and passionate community who not only contribute to and translate Mozilla software, but communicate the ways to get involved and share Mozilla's mission and values at local events. There are many opportunities to (for example) host a booth at an event, organize a local Mozilla meet-up, host an install day and teach people how to use Mozilla products everyday. Let's take advantage of all these occasions to build the Mozilla voice and spread the word. | Mozilla is backed by an amazing and passionate community who not only contribute to and translate Mozilla software, but communicate the ways to get involved and share Mozilla's mission and values at local events.
