2014

We're not doing a bunch of random initiatives; we're doing stuff that fits together for a reason. We're building a better internet. This is an easy thing for even newcomers to Mozilla to know. We have a certain set of values. The moment we're at right now, which we started at the Summit, is to ask what is a practical way to actually live and build out that mission, and how do we make an impact today?

As Mitchell Baker said in her talk at the beginning of the Summit, Mozilla is about taking action and building things to make this mission real. We hope that we shape how the internet works - and really how the world works - and really build our values in.

Below is a list of our top-line product and support team goals for 2014 as well as a link to a visual dashboard (Coming Soon) to track progress.

We know that solid execution will beat an awesome plan with no execution every time. We can play with the numbers and debate the plan, but really we need to go for a while and then evaluate. The very idea of an annual plan is something new for us and it may feel strange because of that. These days in software you go in sprints, not waterfalls. So, let's not try to build the perfect plan. Let's build a good enough plan, and move fast and change things as we go. ~ From the Mozillians Town Hall re: 2014 Goals (February 2014):

2014 Goals Detail

Scale Firefox OS | Accountable: Andreas Gal

2014 is really critical for Firefox OS. In 2013 we proved the viability of the platform, our ability to deliver it, and the existence of a nascent ecosystem. Now it's really a momentum play to scale Firefox OS in 2014. A question was recently asked in a staff meeting, "Isn't Firefox OS over Horizon 2?" No, it's not over that hump. We've proven that we are the ones who can do this now, but to actually do it is going to take the same kind of concerted effort we've been applying for the past two years.

Add Services to our Product Lines | Accountable: Mark Mayo

One thing we've learned at Mozilla is there is no such thing as client software succeeding on its own anymore. When a user is looking at which phone to purchase, they're not just looking at the hardware and the OS. They want movies, music, games, communications. It's all about giving users the whole end-to-end experience. We need to ask how to create horizontal platforms that anyone can build on. What Mozilla can do is create a services hub around a user. It may include services we build (like Marketplace) and services other people build (maybe a storage service). We need an account that is open so that anyone can hang that sort of information off of it.

Grow adoption of Webmaker & Open Badges | Accountable: Brett Gaylor (WM) and Erin Knight (OB)
