Drumbeat

This is the project management page for Drumbeat. It is a work in progress and changes frequently.

Mozilla Drumbeat is a global community of people who explain, protect and improve the internet as a public resource. It's about starting a drumbeat around the world -- one where everyone can help to raise awareness, generate new ideas and get involved in making the internet better. Mozilla Foundation's role is to help frame key internet issues and growing the community that forms the heart of Drumbeat.
