Mozilla Drumbeat Aims to Expand Web Participation
|
|
The goal of the new Mozilla Drumbeat effort is to go beyond open source code to encourage and nurture projects that help to expand understanding and participation in the open Web. While Drumbeat is today only in its early stages of development, Mozilla is budgeting more than $1 million in funding for the effort -- a project that it thinks could help to direct the very future of the Internet. "Mozilla has been successful at shaping where the Internet is going in a positive way and in getting people to participate," Mark Surman, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation, told InternetNews.com. "At the same time, we feel that if we take a 50- or 100-year view on our mission, which is to guard the open nature of the Internet, it's not just going to be technologists that participate and it's not just technology questions that will shape what the Internet is in 10 or 50 or 100 years."
