the Mozilla community are all contributors (core, active, casual) to the Mozilla project in aggregate. This encompasses both paid staff as well volunteer contributors.

a contributor to the Mozilla project is anyone who has spent time (either as a volunteer or as an employee of a Mozilla organization) towards the goals of the Mozilla mission. Contributors can be classified as casual contributors, active contributors, or core contributors.

an active contributor is someone who has volunteered substantial time to a Mozilla activity that involves interactions with others within the last 12 months. (Someone who answers questions on SUMO or localizes a Mozilla website)

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. (Someone who has submitted a crash report or feedback on input.mozilla.org)

a core contributor is someone who has a leadership position in one or more Mozilla project areas. (A module owner or peer, a Mozilla Representative)
