What We Do
- We ‘embed’ our tech evangelists in different Mozilla teams every two quarters. We work closely with their engineers so we know what’s up as it happens, and they are able to get faster and better feedback from users and developers. We work so closely that sometimes we are even fixing bugs too, because we’re engineers after all!
- We’re also closely working with the MDN team in projects such as Content Kits and the MDN Fellowships, and of course making sure that the technologies we talk about are brilliantly documented.
- We run the first Tech Speakers pilot--our initiative to Grow Mozilla, with the collaboration of the Participation, Education and Reps teams. In this program, we help grow a community of strongly technical speakers that care about our principles and our mission, by supporting and empowering them.
- Finally, we are also in charge of editing the Hacks Blog and the Apps and Hacks newsletter, and of course we attend conferences and meet-ups, give talks and listen to other developers and communicate feedback back to the teams at Mozilla.
