Mozilla is looking towards creating a Diversity and Inclusion Strategy for Participation. In an effort to make this process language-inclusive, we are conducting focus groups and 1:1 interviews in various languages apart from English. If you are a Mozillian and a non-native English speaker, we would like to have your support in conducting interviews and focus groups in your native language (referred to as first-language henceforth). If you are interested, please contact Emma Irwin at eirwin@mozilla.com | Mozilla is looking towards creating a Diversity and Inclusion Strategy for Participation.
