Welcome to the Mozilla Reps program wiki. The program, also known by its codename ReMo, aims to empower and support volunteer Mozillians who want to become official representatives of Mozilla in their region/locale and wherever they go.
Overview
Community is the backbone of the Mozilla project. As the Mozilla project grows in scope and scale, community needs to be strengthened and empowered accordingly. This is the central aim of the Mozilla Reps program: to empower and to help push responsibility to the edges in order to help the Mozilla contributor base grow.
The Mozilla Reps program provides a simple framework and specific tools to help volunteer Mozillians become official representatives of Mozilla in their region. Anyone who is passionate and knowledgeable about Mozilla and who is ready to dive deeper into the project can sign-up to the program. The Mozilla Reps program helps push responsibility and authority further outwards, to more Mozillians, making it much easier for volunteers to organize and/or attend events, recruit and mentor new contributors, and better support their local communities.
When joining the program, a Mozilla Rep agrees to take on the following responsibilities:
- represent Mozilla in their country/region
- promote the Mozilla Project and our mission
- build on and support existing/future local community efforts and programs
- inspire, recruit and support new contributors
- support and mentor future Mozilla Reps
- document clearly all his/her activities
An open and community-driven program
The Mozilla Reps program is open to anyone who is:
- passionate about the Mozilla Project
- knowledgeable of the Mozilla organization, its mission, its products and its community
- willing to communicate to as many people as possible and keen to inspire people to contribute to Mozilla
Although anyone can sign-up to become a Mozilla Rep, that doesn't mean you automatically become a Mozilla Rep after submitting your application. Because Mozilla Reps are entrusted with new responsibilities and special tools to speak on Mozilla's behalf, to manage budgets, events and swag, each application is carefully reviewed by the Mozilla Rep council and each applicant, if shortlisted, must pass a short interview before offically becoming a Mozilla Rep.
Anyone applying to become a Mozilla Rep goes through three easy steps before officially becoming a Rep. Learn more about the application process.

Tracking Progress
The Mozilla Reps program is a work in progress and constantly evolving/improving thanks to its open and participatory nature.
