== What is Mozilla Voices? ==
It's time to help more people understand who we are, what we care about, and how our work impacts our online and offline lives for the better.  
 
One of the most visible ways we create positive impact in the world is with our beloved Firefox products, but we also need people to know about the value of open systems and challenge the thinking of the status quo.
 
Our work, achieved in partnership with our global volunteer community, is what distinguishes Mozilla from other technology companies, and enables us to pursue our mission on multiple fronts.
 
By being clear and focused with the stories we tell and amplify, we’ll be able to give people the tools to quickly and easily share our message with others.  One of the ways we are doing this is the through the Voices initiative.

'''Mozilla Voices''' is going to be a world class editorial platform showcasing the ideas, organizations, communities, movements and individuals who best exemplify how open systems empower people to reach their fullest potential.
Voices will be a world class editorial platform showcasing the ideas, organizations, communities, movements and individuals who best exemplify how open systems empower people to reach their fullest potential.
 
Mozilla Voices is not about Mozilla. Though if (and when) we make news, Voices will cover it, with all the appropriate disclosures.  


Mozilla Voices is not a mirror, it's the window we use to view the world.
We advocate that Open Systems create healthier communities and more successful societies overall. We will cover everything from open source to open government and the need for transparency; privacy and security, the "Internet of Things" vs. "pervasive computing", to education and if it's keeping up with the technological changes. The bottom line? '''Open is better.'''

When complete, Voices will have a full-time editorial news-gathering staff and a global set of contributors – both paid and volunteer – to contribute stories, as well as offer news ideas (leads) for the editorial staff and recommend the best expert sources.


The bottom line? '''Open is better.'''
At its best, Voices will start conversations and settle arguments.
