Drumbeat

This is the project management page for Drumbeat. It is a work in progress and changes frequently.

Mozilla Drumbeat is a global community of people who explain, protect and improve the internet as a public resource. It's about starting a drumbeat around the world -- one where everyone can help to raise awareness, generate new ideas and get involved in making the internet better. Mozilla Foundation plays a critical leadership role: framing key internet issues and growing the community that forms the heart of Drumbeat.
