This is a hub page for Mozilla Foundation planning activities. Right now, it's focused on the Foundation's Vision and Roadmap process, which is taking place in late 2008 and early 2009.
Purpose
Building on the Mozilla project-wide 2010 goals process, the Mozilla Foundation is undertaking a Vision and Roadmap development process. Its goals are:
- Articulate Foundation role and identity within the broad 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:
We're currently collecting inputs and assembling a strawman proposal for our vision and roadmap.
The idea is to put ideas out there early, iterate a lot and try things out as we go. Trying things out will be critical: the Foundation will do or fund small experiments in each of the main areas covered in its strawman plan. This will make it possible to both learn and get good ideas rolling even before the plan is done.
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:
- Main Program Strawman
- Foundation 2010 goals (draft)
Themes currently under consideration for inclusion in the strawman include:
- Accessibility (scratchpad and 2009 plans)
- Education (scratchpad)
- Mozilla Community Vitality (scratchpad)
- Open Web Evangelism (scratchpad)
- Technical Research (strawman concept note)
All of these pages should be considered draft. They are intended as works in progress.
Have Your Say
There will be many points for engagement and input along the way. Things we're planning right now:
- Air Mozilla w/ IRC (probably one in December on the strawman)
- Regional discussions (Tristan Nitot has already agreed to do in Europe)
- Blogging and discussions in mozilla.governance
If you have comments you want to send to us directly, send mail to all -- @ -- mozillafoundation -- .org. Comments on everything including this process welcome.
Experiments
These are experiments, events and small projects that people are already doing as a way to test ideas that could become part of Foundation programs.
- MozCamp+ Victoria Goal -> 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).
- Hybrid Summit Goal -> first step in growing Mozilla's thought leadership on hybrid social enterprises and organizational sustainability.
Useful Blog Postings
Past engagement has included blog postings (look at the comments):
