;What is Mozilla Drumbeat | ;What is Drumbeat? | ||
Drumbeat is a community and a resource to facilitate openness on the web. It's a launch-pad and a playground–an open web mecca that sits at the intersection of community, resources and funding, and at its core is 100% open web. It's for teachers, artists, lawyers, flmmakers and other everyday internet users who *use* web technology in new ways to understand, participate and take control of their online lives. It's *your* playground, use it! | |||
Using Mozilla's existing international community, Drumbeat can help you find contributors, funds and advice to facilitate a better web, and also keep it open for the long haul. Mozilla also directly leads a number of Drumbeat projects of its own. | |||
;Why Drumbeat? | ;Why the Drumbeat community? | ||
:Mozilla has a clear mission: to guard the open nature of the Internet. The software created by Mozilla's developer community takes us a long way towards this mission -- promoting openness, innovation and online participation at a massive scale. We believe everyday internet users also have a role to play in keeping the web open, especially over the long haul. This is what Drumbeat is about. | :Mozilla has a clear mission: to guard the open nature of the Internet.

: | ;Who is Drumbeat? | ||
:At a practical level, Drumbeat community members use web technology to make things that improve and protect the open internet. They run local events where people propose and work on these practical projects. They encourage others to get involved. | |||
:Drumbeat is for anyone who wants to lend their skills and creativity to the cause of creating a better internet. Teachers. Artists. Lawyers. Filmmakers. Students. Plumbers. Web developers. Anyone who uses -- and cares about -- the open internet. These are not the traditional contributors to the Mozilla project. But we believe that everyday internet users have ideas and energy that can help make the web better. | |||
: | :If this sounds like you, join the community, propose a project or attend a local event. Help keep the web open for the next 100 years. | ||
