Tiles/Community Involvement

Overview

The Content Services Team is looking to give our global community a voice through tiles in hopes of increasing awareness around the work Mozilla is doing, especially when it comes to new users & new installs.

When a new user//new install first opens Firefox, a set of 9 pre-loaded tiles will appear on their homepage based on their location. You can learn more about how this works here on the Tiles Wiki Page. One of the 9 tiles that appear is dedicated to that user’s local community.

We are looking towards the community to give our global community a voice through Tiles.

We Need YOUR Help!

We are asking that members that are located within these different communities create unique art for the their community tile that either links to their local Get Involve Page or a page of their choice.

With this tile, local community members will be able to increase awarness and activity in their local or regional communities by:

• linking the tile to their localized Get Involved page
• creating unique tile art that links to their (already localized) Get Involved page.
• linking to a page of their choice, with unique art for the tile.

Who can Submit

The Community Content Teams for Tiles will be vouched Mozillians and Reps who have expressed an interest in creating meaningful content for their community. They should be from a diverse variety of areas, be able and have experience with working asynchronously, and be designers who want to broadcast their work to help people get involved with Mozilla.

We are launching our first set of Community Tiles on November 10th in a limited number of languages.
Unfortunately, we are not currently looking for Community Tiles in all languages. Please view the current list here. N.B.: If you do not see your community on this list, do not worry: we will be adding more languages as they are localized.

What To Submit

New tile specifications can be found here. Please note: as long as you follow the style guide guidelines and your tile is approved by the local rep, your tile will be shown on the new tab screen.

Still confused?

We will be hosting a Brown Bag on ... to further explain Community Tiles. We will be posting a link to the Brown Bag as soon as it is finished.
You can also always submit a question to contentservices@mozilla.com
