This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project, as next steps will involve contacting each one to find out more about how we can best provide support.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.
Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the [[MOSS/Foundational Technology|Foundational Technology]] page.
 
This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list. Note that it's in alphabetical order.

Latest revision as of 13:26, 24 October 2017

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project.

Note that presence on this list isn't the same as, nor is it a prerequisite for, applying for the MOSS "Foundational Technology" track - projects have to make an application using the process on the Foundational Technology page.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list. Note that it's in alphabetical order.
