Connected Devices at Mozilla embarked on a path by organizing the team around a [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Connected_Devices/Product_Innovation_Process gated innovation process] that has given us some time to evaluate the market and brainstorm ideas that we believe will solve real problems, while considering possibilities that make the most of our unique resources and active community. At this point, we’ve identified and rallied around a shortlist of these ideas, and have our first group of projects in need of contributions from our community of developers and participants. We’ll be looking for feedback while collaborating on code, shipping test builds, aimed at finding a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product/market_fit Product/Market Fit]. We’ll determine this by evaluating product usage and asking our target users if we’re on the right track. We plan to be scientific, and make these decisions objective and fair, so if we get off track, we can either re-work a solution for more testing, or simply move on to the next idea in the queue.

==Community Experimentation Launchpad (CEL)==
The CEL is a community-driven program that aims to empower Mozillians to dream up the future of connected devices, test and prototype their ideas and make them a reality through open collaboration and innovation. The program provides resources, tools and mentoring to help you get involved, either through contribution to an existing project or bootstrapping your own. Make sure to check this section regularly as we will be continuously updating the wiki.


====Learn how to build your own connected devices project====
If you have an idea for a project and wish the collaborate with other Mozillians, here are a few quick suggestions and questions you should ask yourself to get started and get people to join you in your effort. '''[[Connected_Devices/Participation/Build_Your_Own_Connected_Devices_Project|More here...]]'''
====Get mentorship from an expert====
As you get started and as you progress through your project, you'll be able to get mentoring from a cross-functional panel of technical and non-technical experts in the IoT space. You'll be able to bounce off ideas, ask questions and get some guidance to help you push your project forward.
''Check back as we provide more information in the section soon...''
====Resources -- research, design, technical====
Working on a project from scratch is hard, so in this section we aim to compile a set of resources to bootstrap your project and provide you with the assistance and expertise you need to get started.
* Research: this phase is crucial as you determine what your potential user base is. It entails things like surveys and user interviews.
* Design: design in the connected devices space will be a challenge as we play with new user paradigms, but also exciting in terms of possibilities.
* Technical: this will cover everything from coding, to setting up working and testing environments.
''Check back as we add more resources in these areas.''
====Hackathon toolkits====
Running events to get contributions to your project could be the secret sauce that kickstarts new ideas, get a particular task done, or keeps momentum going. A hackathon toolkit will consist of some of the following pieces:
* Determining your audience
* Advertising to reach your intended audience
* Getting resources for your events
* Sample agendas
* Sample metrics
* Tips on follow-up after the event
''Check back as we provide more on each of these.''
==== Innovation Fund: Managed by the Mozilla Reps program ====
A volunteer-driven and lightweight Innovation Fund is being initiated by the Mozilla Reps Council. This fund is an experiment itself for the next 3 months, and will provide a lightweight and streamlined process to fund small projects that aim to experiment and prototype innovative ideas in the connected devices space. '''[[Connected_Devices/Participation/Reps_Innovation_Fund|More here...]]'''.
===Volunteer-led projects in progress -- help them out!===
Mozillians have already started blazing their own path in this new exciting space. From a Heart Rate monitor to a Plant Watering System to a Flood Detection Sensor, ideas abound. '''[[Connected_Devices/Participation/Projects|More here...]]'''.
