==Community Experimentation Launchpad (CEL) - Beta ==
The CEL is a community-driven program that aims to empower Mozillians to dream up the future of connected devices, research, design, prototype and validate their ideas through open collaboration and innovation. The program provides resources, tools and mentoring to help you run your own experiments, while connecting you with the innovation process at Mozilla.
An overview of the Community Experimentation Launchpad can be found '''[https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1d8lERlQREL4Oj_Iwz-N_xfK05iGJny83by1r7PuQov8/edit?pref=2&pli=1#slide=id.g59f86909f_0_116 in this presentation]'''
'''Please make sure to check this section regularly as we will be continuously updating the wiki and most of the documents are work in progress and constantly updated'''.
====How to get started in the beta phase====
The CEL is being built with input from different teams across Mozilla and volunteers around the world. Until at least June 2016 we will be in the beta phase, piloting many ideas, approaches, tools, etc. So getting involved now means being ready for a wild and fun ride.
To get started:
# [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1d8lERlQREL4Oj_Iwz-N_xfK05iGJny83by1r7PuQov8/edit?pref=2&pli=1#slide=id.g59f86909f_0_63 Review the experiment flow] and determine in which stage of the flow you are in.
# If you have already an idea for a project, start filling out the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FYY-SjD5grtR48JkeABUEUlg9XmQH-YZke7OJ4is8l4/edit Experiment Canvas]
# Attend an office hour and get feedback on your experiment
====CEL office hours and mentoring====
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.
By filling and submitting the Experiment Canvas you'll be able to attend the office hours. If you are unsure how to fill the canvas you will also be able to get guidance from the team.
For the very first iterations of the office hours we will be having mainly product and engineering mentoring. As we develop the launchpad we will be adding much more research and design mentoring. We will update this wiki with the Office hours soon.
''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.


For now we can offer:
* The [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FYY-SjD5grtR48JkeABUEUlg9XmQH-YZke7OJ4is8l4/edit Experiment Canvas]: A tool that will allow you to think about the solutions your experiment explores, the value for users and the Mozilla mission and what team and resources you need to run the experiment.
* The Office hours: mentoring from the Mozilla staff
* Funds from the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Connected_Devices/Participation/Reps_Innovation_Fund Reps Innovation Fund]
* A quick guide for setting up an experiment and a team. '''[[Connected_Devices/Participation/Build_Your_Own_Connected_Devices_Project|More here...]]'''
In the future we will offer a toolkit and several playbooks for the areas listed below. These will include tools, methods, best practices and additional support for:
* Research
* Design
* Prototyping
''Check back as we add more resources in these areas.''
==== 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 until June 2016, 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...]]'''.

Connected Devices Participation

About

Welcome to the Connected Devices participation page, your starting point to get involved in Connected Devices, both through our Product Innovation Process and our Community Experimentation Launchpad.

In the next few weeks, we'll be populating this wiki with more resources to help you get involved and start experimenting, prototyping and testing the future of connected devices.

Product Innovation Process

We're ramping up with a product innovation process, and there you can find some projects in progress, with other ones surfacing as they get through the gating process. Continue to look out for opportunities to contribute. Yet don't wait! We want to facilitate building from now.

Participate in the 'official' Product Innovation Process

As identified in the product innovation process section above, some projects running on the train model have many specific contribution opportunities.

Connected Devices at Mozilla embarked on a path by organizing the team around a 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 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.
