Who is in the Mozilla community? How many contributors, supporters and users are there? What would the community looked like if you made an infographic about it? Where do you fit in? This page answers those questions.
=Who Is In The Mozilla Community?=
==Core Contributor==
A core contributor is someone who has a leadership position in one or more Mozilla project areas.
* Examples: The German l10n lead, a Mozilla Rep, a module owner or peer, a Mozilla employee
* Estimated size: Hundreds of people
* Mission impact: Core contributors have made major contributions to support the mission through their contributions of time and skill. They Mozilla with reach in terms of scope, geography and influence far beyond what could be achieved through directly staffing an organization.
==Active Contributor==
An active contributor is someone who has volunteered substantial time to a Mozilla activity that involves interactions with others within the last 12 months.
* Examples: Someone who answers Firefox questions on SUMO, someone who files bugs with Nightly builds, someone who localizes Mozilla websites, someone on the Credits page, etc.
* Estimated size: thousands of people
* Mission impact: Active contributors directly support the mission through their contributions of time and skill, and provide Mozilla with the ability to move forward with a wide range of programs and projects.
==Casual Contributor==
A casual contributor is someone who has volunteered small amounts of time in an activity that doesn't necessarily involve interactions with other community members.
* Examples: Someone who participates in Test Pilot studies, someone who has submitted feedback on input.mozilla.org, someone who has created a persona, someone who has submitted a crash report
* Estimated size: hundreds of thousands of people
* Mission impact: In aggregate, casual contributors create real value for the Mozilla, spreading the word, providing decision-informing data and more.
==Supporter==
A supporter is someone who has shown an interest in Mozilla without having made a substantial contribution back to the community yet.
* Examples: Someone who donates $5 through Join Mozilla, someone who has downloaded a Firefox beta, someone who has liked Firefox on Facebook
* Estimated size: Millions of people
* Mission impact: Supporters advance the mission just like users, but they've taken the additional step to start educating themselves about Mozilla and by definition they are aware of some ways to get more involved.
==User==
A user is someone who uses Mozilla products but may not be aware of Mozilla's mission or that there are volunteer opportunities they could get involved with.
* Example: Someone who uses Firefox as their primary browser.
* Estimated size: hundreds of millions of people
* Mission impact: Users help advance our mission indirectly, although the people using our products may not be aware of how they are helping or that there even is a mission.
