Mozilla is a collection of people
it's a non-profit organization
it is this incredible movement of
really, really passionate people
I think it attracts people who are interested in helping others
and who want to work with a group to do something important
Mozilla is of course best known for our product Firefox
The Firefox project was born in a time
and the only browser out there
It's one thing to talk about competition
as sort of an idealized economic good
"your browser made my life so much better
my computer was so slow and I was getting pop ups and couldn't use it"
I thought the Internet was terrible
and this is what happened in 2004
which you found today across all browsers
A lot of the good things that we built
don't happen to work on the project full time
and that's a really important thing
Innovation doesn't happen unless people are tinkering
unless they have access to the code
You end up with a much richer ecosystem
and sometimes that translates back into us
and we say "that's a good idea
and we're going to ship it to everybody"
Mozilla is a very important experiment
we have a high quality product
is so we can make our product decisions
and building a product that cares
that you're a citizen and a human being
If Mozilla or other organizations weren't fighting
The web would become like other mass media
The definition of open source implies
working together without discrimination
The web isn't just something that you consume
it's something you can actually affect yourself
We have these ideas about how the world should work
