 ==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:
+In late 2008, we developed a [[Media:DraftMoFoStrawmanSlide.pdf  | 'strawman' description of Mozilla Foundation programs]] as a way to gather input and stimulate discussion. It included these program ideas:.
-* [[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.
+* '''[[Foundation:Planning:Education | Mozilla Education]]:''' 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.
-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.
-* '''[[Foundation:Planning:Movement | 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. ([[Foundation:Planning:Movement | program concept notes]])

 * '''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==
+During early 2009, we are experimenting with most of these ideas in one way or another. The Foundation's [[Foundation:Planning:2009OpsPlan | 2009 operational plan]] and the [[Foundation | Foundation wiki]] provide details and offer status updates.
-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.

 ==Process==

+The Mozilla Foundation Vision and Roadmap will be developed by staff, board and community members throughout 2009. The rough process looks like this:
-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 '''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]].
+'''April update: As noted above, the initial strawman and brainstormning process are now complete. We're now in a piloting and experimenting phase. We will loop back for a strategic review and visioning in September 2009.
