Education
What is Mozilla Education?
Mozilla Education aims to create learning opportunities and to support a new generation of Mozilla community members, and help to drive a new wave of participatory, student-led learning. By working with computer science, design, and business schools around the world, Mozilla hopes to move closer to our broader goal of making openness, participation and distributed decision-making more common experiences in Internet life.
This wiki serves as a hub for Mozilla Education, a broad collection of efforts that help students, professors and anyone else learn from and contribute to Mozilla.
See the FAQ and planning documents for more background, and the events page for information about upcoming events.
Get Involved
People get involved with Mozilla Education in a number of ways. We welcome you to find one or more ways to join us:
- As academics (teachers, students, professors, etc.) looking to research, teach, or work on Mozilla technologies as part of educational projects or in the classroom.
- As Mozilla community members interested in mentoring, team-teaching, or supporting academic projects.
- As leaders from Mozilla, academia, and industry interested in shaping Mozilla's approach to education and developing courseware, learning resources, teaching, and helping us improve Mozilla Education.
Becoming a part of Mozilla as a student or educator is much easier when you don't do it alone: Mozilla is based on community participation. To make it easier to get started, we have a number of ways to communicate with us:
- #education on the Mozilla IRC network. You can learn about IRC and how to use it in the Mozilla context here.
- Planet Mozilla Education is a blog planet, which aggregates the blogs of students and educators working with Mozilla, as well as Mozilla community members who are mentoring or otherwise involved with our education partners.
- The education.mozilla (TODO: link this when bug 477812 is closed) newsgroup and mailing list is a good place for questions
Status Meetings
Status meetings take place every Monday at 8 AM PST/PDT (15:00/16:00 UTC). The current state of Mozilla Education is discussed at the these meetings, which are open to the public via telephone and IRC.
