Earlier this month, we started rolling out Mozilla Foundation’s new strategy. The core goal is to make the health of the open internet a mainstream issue globally. We’re going to do three things to make this happen: shape the agenda; connect leaders; and rally citizens. I provided an overview of this strategy in another post back in December.

The Internet is a Global Public Resource
One of the things that first drew me to Mozilla was this sentence from our manifesto: More The Internet is a Global Public Resource
Mozilla, Caribou Digital and the global app economy
Mozilla is a proud supporter of research carried out by Caribou Digital, the UK-based think tank dedicated to building sustainable digital economies in emerging markets. Today, Caribou has released a report exploring the impact of the global app economy and international trade flows in app stores. You can find it here.

Inspired by our grassroots leaders
Last weekend, I had the good fortune to attend our grassroots Leadership Summit in Singapore: a hands on learning and planning event for leaders in Mozilla’s core contributor community. More Inspired by our grassroots leaders
How I want to show up this year
As we begin 2016, I have tremendous hope. I feel a clarity and sense of purpose — both in my work and my life — that I haven’t felt for years. More How I want to show up this year
Mozilla Foundation 2020 Strategy
We outlined a vision back in October for the next phase of Mozilla Foundation’s work: fuel the movement that is building the next wave of open into the digital world. More Mozilla Foundation 2020 Strategy
Fueling a movement
Mozilla was born from the free and open source software movement. And, as a part of this larger movement, Mozilla helped make open mainstream. We toppled a monopoly, got the web back on an open track, and put open source software into the hands of hundreds of millions of people. More Fueling a movement
Mozilla Learning Strategy Slides
Developing a long term Mozilla Learning strategy has been my big focus over the last three months. Working closely with people across our community, we’ve come up with a clear, simple goal for our work: universal web literacy. We’ve also defined ‘leadership’ and ‘advocacy’ as our two top level strategies for pursuing this goal. The use of ‘partnerships and networks’ will also be key to our efforts. These are the core elements that will make up the Mozilla Learning strategy. More Mozilla Learning Strategy Slides
Building a big tent (for web literacy)
Building a global network of partners will be key to the success of our Mozilla Learning initiative. A network like this will give us the energy, reach and diversity we need to truly scale our web literacy agenda. And, more important, it will demonstrate the kind of distributed leadership and creativity at the heart of Mozilla’s vision of the web. More Building a big tent (for web literacy)
Advocating for web literacy
I often throw around big numbers when I talk about web literacy: “Soon we’ll have five billion people on the web. We need to make sure they all understand how it works and how to wield it.” I believe this. And, I believe that Mozilla needs to play a key role here. But the question is: how?
