We are in the midst of a conversation about the future goals and programs of the Mozilla Foundation. '''This page is a dashboard'''.
Need to evolve this page. Basic content for now:


* '''[[Foundation:Planning#Purpose | Purpose]]:''' define the role and programs of Mozilla Foundation.
* Mozilla Foundation [[Foundation:Planning:2010Plan|2010 program and ops plans]]
* '''Status (January 4 2009):''' preparing detailed planning strawman documents in areas like education, research and movement building.
* [[Foundation:Planning | 2009 planning page]] (outdated)
* '''[[Foundation:Planning#Share_Your_Ideas | Share your ideas]]:''' comment on blog postings and newsgroup threads about Foundation 2010 goals. More options below.
** [[Foundation:Planning:2009OpsPlan:yearinreview|2009 year in review]]
* '''[[Foundation:Planning#Experiments | Active experiments]]:''' MozCamp+, Hybrid Summit
* '''[[Foundation:Planning#Events | Upcoming events]]:''' none scheduled at this time.


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.
 
==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:
 
* [[Media:DraftMoFoStrawmanSlide.pdf  | Strawman slides]] overview of possible themes, plus look description of Foundation role. Presented in draft form to Mozilla Foundation board in December 2008.
 
Based on feedback on these slides, we're currently developing detailed strawmen and experiments in these areas:
 
* '''[[Foundation:Planning:Education | Teaching open source]]:''' Help people learn about Mozilla's open, participatory and distributed way of working. Build on the Seneca model, with students participate directly in Mozilla development, but do it at scale. ([[Foundation:Planning:Education |program strawman]])
* '''Mozilla Research:''' Solve big open web tech and user problems that no one else will tackle. Mozilla's main role is to frame the questions, provide infrastructure and build networks of researchers.
* '''Movement building:''' Engage millions of people as promoters the open internet, providing concrete ways to participate in projects like Mozilla even if they don't have technical skills.
* '''Accessibility:''' Drive web accessibility for people with disabilities into the mainstream of web development, and continue to support open source accessibility projects that have potential to really scale.
* '''Community Support:''' Provide support for smaller Mozilla, open source and free culture projects, helping them to build community and sustainability. ([[Pilot/Community Vitality |scratchpad]]) 
 
All of these pages should be considered ''draft''. They are intended as works in progress.
 
==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:
 
# [[Foundation:Planning:Education:Seneca | Seneca Expansion / Virtual Seneca]] (online): Students anywhere can take advantage of the Seneca / Mozilla learning model, accessing projects, community support and mentoring.
# [[Foundation:Planning:Education:CommunityCourses |Mozilla Community Courses]] (online): Ongoing series online courses run jointly by professors and Mozilla community members, providing opportunities for community building and learning on topics most important to Mozilla at any given moment. 
# [[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.
 
==Process==
 
''Note: we're in the midst of changing this, with more emphasis on program experiments up front and written plans coming later in the year. -ms Jan 20/09''
 
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 '''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 above]].
 
==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.
 
At this stage, we're most interested in comments or involvement in the experiments listed below. Please comment on the relevant pages, or send mail to all -- @ -- mozillafoundation -- .org with ideas.
 
Over the coming months there will also be [http://air.mozilla.com Air Mozilla] sessions, face-to-face discussions and additional online discussions. The next round of feedback will focus on the Mozilla Foundation strawman vision document.
