Goals & Strategiesfor an Open Web

Théo Chevalier – L3 MIAGE – 2014-03-13, Toulouse

We are best known for…

Oh hey, these are some notes. They'll be hidden in your presentation, but you can see them if you open the speaker notes window (hit 's' on your keyboard).

Firefox for Android

Will talk about the Web

What we will talk about

  • What Mozilla is
  • What Mozilla does
  • What Mozilla wants for the future

A community

Community of people working together to protect the Web

What I do for Mozilla

  • French Localization: products, websites
  • Code, bug reporting & QA for l10n
  • Events: demos, talks
  • Community: Help newcomers

Mozilla in numbers

  • Users: half a Billion users
  • Languages: 80+
  • Community: 1,000’s core contributors globally (2014: ×10)
  • Staff: ~1,000 employees worldwide

Two things to keep in mind

We’re a not-for-profit organization What we do, we do it for the Web No shareholders, decisions are made for the users and the web

World Wide Web turned 25

  • Yesterday: 25th anniversary of the WWW
The principles of universality of access irrespective of hardware or software platform, network infrastructure, language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental impairment are core values

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the WWW

We need to keep it open, free, and accessible to all. This is what Mozilla is about.

UNLEASH THE FUTURE

We want the Web to bethe platform on mobile

“We want the Web to redo on mobile what it did on Desktop 15 years ago” Tristan Nitot, Mozilla Principal Evangelist
