Developer Engagement
Team Lead: Stormy Peters Mailing List: engagement-developers@lists.mozilla.org
The Developer Engagement community serves the Mozilla mission by promoting open Web-related technologies to developers:
  • We work with product teams to communicate how developers benefit from Mozilla products and open technologies, to achieve our mission and product plans.
  • We provide information, examples, and direct interaction, online and at events, so that developers (within Mozilla and in the broader Web community) understand and adopt open technologies and products.
  • We foster the capabilities of Mozillians to communicate about Mozilla's initiatives and values to developers, so that Mozilla's developer community can grow.
