Ignite

The Mozilla Ignite Challenge

Mozilla and the National Science Foundation are partnering to challenge you to build apps for public benefit on next-generation networks like the US Ignite/GENI testbed.

We're offering $500,000 in funding, mentorship & support, and access to the GENI network sandbox to help developers build apps to change the world.

Check out the 1 min. video on the About page for a quick explanation: MozillaIgnite.org/About

Every Tuesday at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET (-8 UTC), the Ignite team hosts an open community call to discuss opportunities around Gigabit apps and the open web, and to answer questions about the challenge.
