 Mozilla is tens of thousands of people from every continent connected by a clear understanding of the value of the Web and the importance of free and open access to this shared global resource. Today, there are only a few people from Mozilla who regularly give voice to the Mozilla project and the Mozilla community, but they are just a drop in the bucket when you think about how large a community we are.  You are the Mozilla community and you should feel empowered and prepared to speak about Mozilla!  There are many more interesting and compelling stories found outside of today's small group of spokespeople and this exciting new program is your opportunity to pick up the microphone and be a strong voice for Mozilla.
-Many in of you already speak publicly on occasion, but often informally because today we lack some of the necessary coordination to dientify good opportunities or to provide useful materials.  Let's see if we can change this!  Firefox reaches new users, first and foremost, by word of outh and that makes every possible speaking opportunity a chance to grow the Mozilla community and use base.

 The Mozilla project is involved with many events ([http://www.spreadfirefox.com/node/27511 Mozilla Events Calendar]), but there are many more that are are unknown or unstaffed because the community doesn't have someone signed up to represent Mozilla at the event.
-How can we make this better?  First, let's make sure that every speaking opportunity is known by working together to post any events Mozilla should be represented at below.  We should include conferences, panels, discussions, user groups, school meetings, etc.  With back to school just around the corner, think of all teh great educational opportunities -- we could staff literally hundreds of Firefox tutorials.

-For all events at which Mozilla should be represented, we'll need to include the speaker's names and expertises next to the event.  Once the event has been added, email '''[mailto:events@mozilla.com events at mozilla dot com]''' to ensure open lines of communication.
