The Mozilla Foundation's Vision and Roadmap process is taking place in late 2008 and early 2009.
''see also: [[Foundation:Planning/2009archive | old version of this page]] used during 2009 visioning process''
 
==Purpose==
 
Building on the Mozilla project-wide [[2010_Goals|2010 goals process]], the Mozilla Foundation is undertaking a Vision and Roadmap development process. Its goals are:
 
# '''Articulate Foundation role and identity''' within the broader Mozilla community (long term)
# '''Define new programs''' that advance the Mozilla Foundation mission (medium term)
# Catalyze community and '''get good ideas rolling''' along the way (starts now!)
 
This process is related specifically to activities undertaken '''directly''' by the Foundation. It does not replace or compete with the 2010 goals process. Rather, it will draw on 2010 goals and other inputs as a way to shape the future programs and focus of the Foundation.
 
==Process==
 
The Mozilla Foundation Vision and Roadmap will be developed by staff, board and community members between November 2008 and March 2009. The rough process looks like this:
 
[[Image:MoFoPlanningProcessFlow.png]]
 
We're '''currently collecting inputs''' and '''assembling a strawman proposal''' for our vision and roadmap. We also want to '''[[Foundation:Planning#Experiments | try out ideas early]]''': the Foundation will do or fund small experiments that help us learn and get good ideas rolling in relation to the [[Foundation:Planning#Strawmen_and_Scratchpads | themes listed below]].
 
==Strawmen and Scratchpads==
 
In order to move fast and iterate, we will need to float ideas early and often. These links to strawman plans and scratchpad pages are meant to help:
 
* [[Foundation:Planning:Strawman1 | Main Program Strawman]]
* [[Foundation:2010Goals | Foundation 2010 goals]] (draft)
 
Themes currently under consideration for inclusion in the strawman include:
 
* Accessibility ([[Program/Accessibility |scratchpad and 2009 plans]])
* Education ([[Pilot/Education |scratchpad]])
* Mozilla Community Vitality ([[Pilot/Community Vitality |scratchpad]])
* Open Web Evangelism ([[Pilot/Open Web Evangelism |scratchpad]])
* Technical Research ([[Pilot/Research |strawman concept note]])
 
All of these pages should be considered ''draft''. They are intended as works in progress.
 
==Share Your Ideas==
 
The Mozilla Foundation Vision and Roadmap process is a conversation. Members of the Mozilla community are encouraged to share their ideas early and often. Our current focus is gathering input on the top level Foundation goals. You can:
 
* Comment on Mark's blog posting <link> about which project-wide 2010 goals are most relevant to the Foundation.
* Join the mozilla.governance <link> thread about the Foundation and 2010 goals.
* Send mail to all -- @ -- mozillafoundation -- .org with comments on proposed goals or on the overall process.
 
Over the coming months there will also be [http://air.mozilla.com Air Mozilla] sessions (December), face-to-face discussions (already planned for Europe) and additional online discussions. The next round of feedback will focus on the Mozilla Foundation strawman vision document.
 
==Experiments==
 
Experiments, events and small projects are a part of the planning process. They give us a way to test and learn about ideas that might make it into Foundation programs. Experiments currently in play include:
 
* [[Events/MozCamp+Template | MozCamp+ events]]. Develop a template for low-cost, low-effort local Mozilla events that include both community building (people already involved in Mozilla) and outreach (people who might want to engage with Mozilla).
* [[Foundation:Planning:HybridSummit | Hybrid Summit]] First step in growing Mozilla's thought leadership on hybrid social enterprises and organizational sustainability.
 
'''If you have an idea you want to try out''' in relation [[Foundation:Planning#Strawmen_and_Scratchpads | themes we're exploring]], let us know at all -- @ -- mozillafoundation -- .org. We be able to help you do it.
 
==Events==
