Mozilla is backed by an amazing and passionate community who not only contribute to and translate Mozilla software, but communicate the ways to get involved and share Mozilla's mission and values at local events. There are many opportunities to (for example) host a booth at an event, organize a local Mozilla meet-up, host an install day and teach people how to use Mozilla products everyday. Let's take advantage of all these occasions to build the Mozilla voice and spread the word.

How To Get Started

There are many ways to get started and a wealth of ideas and experiences to draw from.

Some ideas:

  • Speaking about Mozilla topic at an event near you
  • Helping other community members at an event
  • Organizing your very own Mozilla event, such as a Mozilla Developer meet-up, a "How to use Firefox" session, a hackathon or a MozCamp
  • Representing Mozilla at an already established event, such as a FOSS conference


If you are going to speak about Mozilla at an event, do have a look at our information about Public Speaking.

Events Calendar

Be sure to check out the Mozilla Events Calendar [ADD LINK TO CALENDAR] to see if there are events that you can join or help out at. If you're planning on hosting your own event or don't see the event that you want to represent Mozilla at, please add it to the calendar.

Handouts

There's a simple and clear introduction to the Mozilla project brochure that provides an overview of what Mozilla is and what our great community is doing. Feel free to print and share it at local events. Please let us know if you'd like to translate into your local language as well.


Getting Support

Mozilla regularly supports community-driven events or projects that aim to promote Mozilla’s products and mission through financial assistance or with logistical support. If you are organizing a Mozilla event and would like to request sponsorship, please make sure to request a budget by filing a ReMo Budget Request bug. [ADD LINK TO BUGZILLA BUDGET REQUEST]
